  • Gameday Preview: Montreal Canadiens vs Buffalo Sabres

    Montreal Canadiens (8-5-2) vs Buffalo Sabres (7-6-2)

    Game Time: 7:30pm at Bell Centre

    Referees: #20 Tim Peel, #21 TJ Luxmore

    Linesmen: #78 Brian Mach, #82 Ryan Galloway

    The Montreal Canadiens are coming off a 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers on Tuesday night. The Habs looked solid for about 2 periods then fell apart in the third period of a very physical game on the second night of a back to back for the Habs. Tonight the Habs will play a Sabres team that beat them in the final minute two weeks ago. With the Habs currently down 2 wingers tonight’s line-up will look a little different. Carey Price will get the start between the pipes for the Habs.

    Keys To The Game

    • Fast Start, Fast Finish. The Habs are doing a great job getting on the board early but can’t seem to close out a game. This needs to change tonight
    • Stay out of the box. The Habs were great on the PK on Tuesday Night killing six penalties. Yes they have a good PK unit but let’s not make taking penalties a habit. It’s gonna come back to bite them
    • Carey Price looked good on Tuesday but the defense was lack-luster giving up way too many odd man chances.

     

    Forwards:

    Tomas Tatar- Phillip Danault- Brendan Gallagher

    Jonathan Drouin- Max Domi- Andrew Shaw

    Artturi Lehkonen- Jesperi Kotkaniemi- Kenny Agostino

    Nicholas Deslauriers- Matthew Peca- Charles Hudon

    Defensemen

    Jordie Benn- Jeff Petry

    Karl Alzner- Mike Reilly

    Xavier Ouellet- Victor Mete

    Tonight’s Scratches: Noah Juulsen (Healthy Scratch), Joel Armia (LBI)

  • November 7th, 2018 — News and Notes

    Today is Wednesday, November 7th, and these are your news and notes…

    There were nine league contests last night.

     

    The Maple Leafs won their 10th game of the season out of 15 games for the 11th time in franchise history and the first since the 2013-14 season when they won 10 games out of the first 14.

     

     

    Rangers G Henrik Lundqvist won his 436th career game and is now one win shy of tying Jacques Plante for seventh place all time.

     

     

    Max Domi would score all three of Montreal’s goals in the contest to give him a goal-scoring streak of four contests and has 16 points on the season, including nine goals thus far.

     

     

    TXHT and Last Word on Sports Armand Kilsvitch has his recap of the contest here.

     

     

    The Columbus Blue Jackets have defeated the Dallas Stars for the sixth consecutive time.

     

     

    Ottawa’s Mark Stone had a five-point game to lift Ottawa to the win over New Jersey. Stone is the fifth player in Senators’ history to have multiple five point games in the regular season.

     

     

    Vancouver’s Elias Pettersson would score yet again and continues to lead all rookies in goals and points but would still fall to the Detroit Red Wings in a shootout.

     

    Pettersson has scored 10 goals in 10 games played. He is the fifth player outside of the League’s first season to score 10+ goals through their first 10 NHL games.

     

     

    In Tampa Bay’s Hockey Fights Cancer Awareness night, Tampa Bay would get the win in the contest over the Edmonton Oilers and move to a record of 11-3-1 and into first place in the NHL standings.

     

     

    St. Louis F Ryan O’Reilly registered a hat-trick and would extend his point streak to eight games in the contest against the Hurricanes. O’Reilly also had an eight-game point streak during the 2015-16 season.

     

     

    In this match-up, Ilya Kovalchuk had one goal and two assists in the first game for new Kings head coach, Willie Desjardins.

     

     

     

    San Jose’s Joe Thornton played in his 1499th NHL contest last night and tied Mike Modano for 19th all time.

     

     

    With his next game, Thornton will become the first overall pick in the history of the NHL Draft to reach the 1500 game milestone.

     

    As a note from the contests yesterday, this would only be the fifth time in League history where the home teams swept a schedule of 9+ games.

  • Montreal Canadiens Lose Lead, Then Game to New York Rangers

    Montreal Canadiens Lose Lead, Then Game to New York Rangers

    The Montreal Canadiens blow a 3-1 Lead to lose 5-3 to the New York Rangers. A sloppy third period leads to too many odd-man chances by the Rangers which killed the Habs. Habs will look to redeem themselves at Home when they face the Sabres on Thursday Night at 7:30 PM. Tomas Tatar picked up two goals and was a bright spot for the Habs tonight. Price made a bunch of key saves to try and save the Habs but the defense decided not to show up.

    First Period Analysis
    A fast start again for the Habs as Tomas Tatar gets the Habs on the board in the first minute of the game. Habs gave up way too many turnovers which led to a number of odd-man chances for the Rangers.

    Second Period
    Very Physical play. The Habs have to be careful and not be stupid and let the Rangers tie this game up. Habs are taking way too many penalties in the game, This will come back to bite them in the third period.

    Third Period:
    Too Many Penalties+Too Many Men= 2 points wasted. No defense, too many penalties and just from a Habs perspective painful to watch.
