Yeah they just need to be stronger defensively. Too many soft out passes and missed coverages. Even with Price in the net this game would've been a loss.

Broadway hat to:
But I might have given it to Nash or Boyler. Huge goal by Nash and big game from Boyle tonight.

Moore played well, and Zucc was ok
I'm going thru Hockey-reference to get the answer. So far, the closest I can get was a win on 11/01/03, a tie on 1/17/04, and a win on 10/29/05.
Here we go: They got a win on 10/05/01, and then a win on 12/01/01. That's how long its been since their last back-to-back wins in Montreal.
:lol

He's incredible. He never passes up a shot and it scares the absolute shit out of me. Every time.

Sucks that there isn't a game tomorrow.

Subban had NINE shots on goal in the game. Plus another 9 that either missed or were blocked.

I was out boating all day, my sincere condolences to Habs GAF. How was the game?
Henrik summoned extra god powers tonight.
Is that Brad Marchand? lol.
So Habs fans (as per the CBC debate), would you start Tokarski, or Budaj next game?
I'd go with the kid again, as he wasn't the reason you lost today and did make some timely saves.
Lol, fucking Stock.

Gat damn. Sounds like I'll be watching the recording of this one. Sad to hear that the Kings are able to rest tomorrow, too. Totally unfair. The fix is in.

Just saw the Mtl Nyr game highlights.
Man oh man...I feel bad for Habs fans now. On one hand, you got Galchenyuk back, but on the other hand, Price is out and Lundqvist is playing fucking CRAZY right now.
Unless the Habs get him off his game, Gallagher should be doing this, Habs are going to lose this one without question.

Hank has been unreal the last 5 games. Rags would have to be awful to lose any of them the way he's played. Makes me feel a little better watching him crush Montreal too.
I've hated on him this season at times, but yep... that's pretty much it.
All hail the king.

Tell me, Rangers fans. Is this even Lundqvist's final form?
Better not be. We still have 6 more games to win.
He's at least a Super Saiyan Level 1.

And to think they made the Rangers play back to back games. Twice.

Trial by fire, and I think it can throw another team off. They may not have the book on him yet, so they might have to try a bunch of different things to see if there's a weakness.
He really wasn't the problem. The Nash goal he should have stopped, but the first goal was flat out zany and the last was a laser past a screen that he couldn't see through. Based on Therrien's postgame interview, it certainly sounds like he plans to stick with him.
Listening to this "mic'd up" video with Kevin Klein on Nash's goal, he calls Kreider "Kreidizzle" and Nash "Slim." He also calls Stralman "Stral-Man."
At least they're different from your typical hockey nicknames.

Bwahaha. I feel bad for Malkin, I really do. He's doing everything he can in that shitty team. Here's some facts for you.
1. Dan Bylsma home playoff record since '09: 13W-15L
2. Dan Bylsma led squads in potential series clinchers at home: 2W-7L
3. If Pens lose this series it will be the 3rd time in the last 4 years that we've blown a 3-1 series lead and got bounced by a lower seeded team (MTL in 2010, TB in 2011, and now POSSIBLY NY in 2014).
4. That would be FOUR straight years losing 3 or more playoff games in a row. Think about that for a second. Not sure any coach has that record set. He has basically transformed this team's identity from a playoff juggernaut into a playoff joke.
This game's result was in yesterday's newspaper.
Just wanted everyone to know that this bet was made and paid. Thanks cube444, he's a man of his word!
Glen Healy has the book on him. Shoot the puck off his defender and off the post blocker side and you'll beat him every time.

I hope everyone who says they would target and try to injury Lunqvist & Kreider feel like idiots.
All things considering he played really well, it's a shame we didn't get to see him play with Vanek more who's basically played himself out of a contract if he's not injured. I'm not even that upset anymore, it's a shame the run has to end because of a stupid accident, but neither of these teams are beating the Kings or Hawks anyways. Lots of positives coming out of these playoffs, I'm already looking forward to next season with the kids taking on bigger roles, this team's success is just beginning.
Brian Boyle's foot was bleeding from blocking one of Subban's shots last night.
As for Kreider...
By the way, Lundqvist is 2 wins away from passing Mike Richter for #1 on the all-time Rangers postseason wins list. He's at 40 wins right now. Richter had 41.

Good for Kreider, don't let that Montreal crowd get the better of you.
Also Lundqvist is just insane. I'd take him over any of the goalies remaining out in the west right now.

Yeah definitely lots of positives to take away andshould make for an interesting off-season. They'll need a top 6 forward and 1 or 2 depth players to fill some roles, but otherwise they look good going forward (I really hope AGally replaces DD for #1 centre).
This series is far from over though, it's like they need a players-only meeting to fire themselves up.

2 more wins till the SCF. The feels man. The feels.
No feels yet. We were leading the ECF 2-1 just two years ago, and we'll be right there again with any kind of let up on Thursday. And that went super good that time.
The hate man. The hate.
