Flyers thought they had it in the bag, and before they knew it, it was 3-2. Good on our guys not to give in.

Kept it on in the background not expecting much. But I did the same during the Ottawa game last year and was rewarded both times. That 3rd period was pure domination by the Habs. Amazing character wins all three of them.

When the boys figured out they were playing vs 2 NHL dmen and 4AHLers they dominated. The Flyers were nowhere to be seen in the 3rd.

I was mentioning in the game thread that the Flyer rope-a-dope resembled one of Jacques Martin's 'systems' ... it was like watching a team thinking it had the game in the bag ... and the Habs just stuck it to them ... Cheers.

tough sched to start and the boys have shown they can dominate when they turn it on and are cant wait to see them put it all together once the sched turns in their favour...not pretty starts but entertaining finish...going to be a fun yr

It was amazing to watch us pin them in. We could roll the lines and not lose any momentum. fs looked gassed.
And we're not playing anywhere close to how we can. Max has been so so. same with DD. Sekac shows signs of brilliance and will get much better.
Liked what i saw on Jarred tonight. Booboo who?

Markov with a goal and two assists in the 3rd ... he and Plekanec pretty much lead that comeback me thinks ... glad we didn't get rid of all our veterans ...
Cheers.

Impressed. Even though Garry Galley did his best to coach the Flyers to not sit back. Yes, we can't keep playing from behind, but we're still finding some rhythm too. We have new personnel to work in and new line combos to gel.
Tto get 3 road wins in comeback fashion is a good sign at any time, let alone to start the season. Against Eastern competition to boot.
How happy was PAPPY to get that shoot out winner! All good.

Have you tried to turn seven times counterclockwise while humming Frere Jacques in Punjabi? Just asking.....

I only caught the last 10 minutes but I can see why Ranger fans were so happy to get rid of Del Zotto.

Never in doubt!
* I may be in the minority here, but I actually thought we outplayed them for most of the game. Just that when we screwed up, we screwed up big and it resulted in a goal. Otherwise I thought we were the better team, though obviously not as dominant as that third period. Clean up the special teams and this team could be... well, special.
* Speaking of the Flyers... did they try to sit back in the third, or was it just our four-line depth that wore them out? All three games now Therrien has had his fourth line out with under five minutes (three?) in close games. How many teams in the league can do that?
* PK has got to settle down. I've seen guys coast on new contracts, he's trying to ride it to the moon. Just play your game man, that's how you got the contract in the first place. I guess it's better to be trying too hard than to not try enough, but geez. These last two games might be the worst two games I have seen Subban play like, for ever.
* Galchenyuk... what more can you say? Nice to see him score, because for all the points Plekanec is getting I think it's Galchenyuk who is driving that line.
* I thought Eller had his best game, penalty aside, but he's just snake bit. That toe save Emery made on him... And then he's all alone in front and dekes himself out. Hopefully they start going in for him.
* Speaking of Emery, he was the best player on the ice, I thought.
* I was about to give up on Sekac, who I have thougth to be rather invisible for the most part, but then he had one shift where he just controlled the play. If he can do that more often... Still, I would consider sitting him for Bournival in the next game.
If we can get away from the slow starts... wow. We look really good at the moment. Three games, all three on the road, two home openers, and the third in Philadelphia, and we get six of six points. Perfect start.

* I may be in the minority here, but I actually thought we outplayed them for most of the game. I think getting out of the first period down only 2-0 probably did a lot of good for the team ... I'd like to know what was said to le Club between the 2nd/3rd periods ... possibly the best period of hockey I've seen from a Habs club in quite some time ... Saw them finish the game against Washington ... the TOI for last night's game doesn't really reflect it, but Therrien now has four lines he can roll over ... Defensively I'd say, yes, you're right ... Honourable mentions; Galchenyuk, Plekanec and Simmons ... Cheers.

In how many seasons during this board's existence have WE been the team that either blew leads or couldn't come back? You could set your watch by it.
Those days appear to be over.
Last year we held leads very well. If we can do that again WITH the comeback dimension.....we'll do just fine.
When Malhotra was acquired, I remember it being mentioned that his abilities would result in giving Pleks more energy/time for offence. I haven't watched every game, so I'm wondering if that's actually a big factor, besides Galchy's inclusion and development.

It's certainly a positive to see a team that has legs in the third repeatedly. We'll see how that looks later in the season, but they certainly have stamina right now.
I'd agree that they showed good push back after going down 2 in the first. Still, being down two after one, and the early goal in the second was another hole to dig out of. That will be a lot harder to do against the elite.
In situations where Pleks wasn't on for an icing, I'd say that Malhotra is getting a lot of the defensive zone draws. That's the big goal: remove the times where Pleks spends a lot of energy in his own zone. If that means he's consistently fresher in the third, like we've seen, fantastic.

A buddy of mine said the same thing, BLNY ... adding Malhotra has taken some of the defensive responsibilities off of Plekanec ... Cheers.

My surfing reveals that you echo the opinions of many Flyer fans about their D. However, they think that Berube should share the blame by overusing certain forwards (notably Lecavalier) on the PP. It doesn't matter, they just blew it. There would be a lot of angry grumbling from Hab fans if it had gone the other way (as it seemed in the 1st period).

I haven't watched every game, so I'm wondering if that's actually a big factor, besides Galchy's inclusion and development. One is left with a certain confidence that we have turned the corner and can control a game when we want/need to. To come from behind or keep skating after giving up a garbage goal at the end of the game (TO) to win these games is very positive. Shows great confidence and leadership. Not taking anything away from Gorges and Gionta's ability to lead but it's nice now to have guys who can actually lead by scoring which ultimately is what makes a difference. Then again it's not too much of a stretch to say we could also be 0 -3 right now. Malhotra is a huge difference for everyone and Pleks. He has a huge presence for the fourth line. He's big, smart, and amazing how many late draws he wins with authority in our zone (I'm talking right back to our dman and tying up the opponent.) How many years have we been trying to insert a has been or never was in there (Metropolis, Halpern,...). But when it was a critical face off it was always Pleks, if he could breath - both for the face off and his defence. Manny is the real deal and a perfect fit. These are the sort of acquisitions that complete the puzzle for a Cup run.

They did it against Ottawa last season and they trailed the Bruins in the payoffs until they finally won the 7th game. I agree with you about what Malhotra has meant. Moreover, Bergevin has made other productive personnel moves.
