Habs vs.Bruins - Game One

Notes on the third:

-If Gionta's goal turns out to be the only one the Habs score tonight, I may go into defib.

-Everybody's trying so hard. No passengers on the Greyhound tonight.

-Wisniewski's made a couple of really nice D plays. That's a relief.

-Moen's probably the weakest link tonight. Not winning on the boards and fumbling passes.

-Pyatt skates like he had blades instead of feet as a kid.

-Sopel's deflecting shots like a good comedian.

-THE CAPTAIN AGAIN!!! On a BRILLIANT play by Gomez, no less. WOW!!

-That overgrown gorilla Chara lost it on Pleks. What a cretin.

-Amazing. Just amazing. Three more to go.


Notes on the second:

-NOT good news for AK to be hurt. This team honestly has the luck of the Irsh. During the potato famine.

-Subban's skating would have inspired Michelangelo.

-The refs aren't letting them play. They're trying to control a game that's already under control.

-Sometimes, you'd really like to put White's head on Gill's body, just to see what a wrecking machine he could be.

-The PK's working really well, but it's getting too much practice.

-Pleks has had more chances than the Prodigal Son.

-Love Muller's patriotic tie.

-Shots in the period were 18-6. Nice to see The System back in full force. Price has been solid.


Notes on the first:

-Going all hot and cold here, and the game is still five minutes from puck drop.

-I know all the Habs aren't exactly lookers, but half the Bruins are pretty deformed.

-That Bs anthem singer sounds like Paul Anka swallowed a vibrator.

-Close-up of Porn Star Timmy. He looks ready.

-Boston fan towels are yellow. How apropos.

-Nice rush by Plekanec to get things going. Gomez looks interested.

-I wonder if Subban can drive them nuts enough to forget their game plan?

-THE CAPTAIN!! Nice set-up by Gomez too, with Darche's ass in TT's face. Perfect execution for that line.

-Late shot by P.K. on Lucic, with no call. Kid's got to be smarter or he'll get it next time.

-The D, outside Subban, is scary at moving the puck. That and the ineffectiveness of guys like Moen and Pyatt at winning the battles are the biggest weaknesses so far.

-Faceoffs are not great either.

-Great PK. The Bs barely touched it.

-Eller's playing a really frazzled game. He needs to take his time.

-Excellent period. Two more like that to keep the Bs worried.

J.T.: Did your heart climb into your throat when cbc showed the footage of Price winking?

@anon: I missed it. I've been unable to watch a single second of the Bs love-in on HNIC.
