3-0 after the 1st

I didn't expect this guys. But if you noticed we almost let them back in the game with about 2 seconds to go. A shot went off of the post and quite frankly I don't know how Tampa failed to score.

Still, Cape Breton Habs Fan has to be happy. His fave player is Bulis and Jan already has 1G and 1A tonight. And how about that scoring juggernaut, Gino Odjick? Great to see this character guy doing so well. His attitude has really impressed me to the point that I look at him differently now. Nice to see Gino.

Hopefully they can keep it going tonight. However, it's going to be quite a different game if Therrien has his team sit on the lead and protect it. I'm not an NHL coach but IMAO, the best thing would be to let les boys play their game.

Might be in for a chat later. Cheers.

Some pretty solid hockey up till now, I don't think they need to be reigned in to protect the lead, they were already generating offense off the forecheck and on the counter-attack, ie - not high-risk plays or anything.

What I'm most worried about is the Habs total lack of success on the PP.

When Rivet gets the puck on the PP he seems to refuse to give it to Markov, he sees himself as the PP QB and not as the complementary guy.... this annoys me.

BTW: I burst out laughing when Gino scored.....  
Gotta feel for Bulin, his stats will take a dive.... 3 goals in 1 period (on 7 shots) makes any goalie's stats go down.
