Montreal Canadiens 2-3 Boston ‘I’m really getting sick of those fucks’ Bruins
TopShelf’s completely Professional GameReport:
Patrick Roy’s presence couldn’t help the Montreal Canadiens who fell to the Boston Bruins in a second straight game by a score of 3-2.
The Habs surely had last week’s 6-1 embarassement at the hands of those same Bruins in the back of their minds, and it showed early on. Check after check, the intensity from Guy Carbonneau’s men could be seen from the first drop of the puck.
Milan Lucic’s fight during the last game with Montreal defenseman Mike Komisarek is making the latter miss one month of action, and Georges Laraque wanted to avenge his teammate. For the first 30 mins of the game, Laraque could be seen talking to Lucic inciting him to drop the gloves, but the young Serbian wouldn’t go with the undisputed heavyweight champ of the NHL.
Fists apart, there was some scoring done in this game. First, Andrei Kostitsyn – who had arguably his best game of this young season – gave his team the lead after a shot came off Boston goalie Tim Thomas and the Belorussian winger wasted no time putting the rebound home. It was his third goal of the current campaign.
Boston replied 10 minutes later though, and it was who else but Lucic who beat Carey Price after some very nice work from Phil Kessel who made Ryan O’byrne look bad.
Montreal kept up the pressure in the third period, outshooting the Bruins by a staggering 18-5 shot count. Alex Kovalev had the game at the edge of his stick when he broke free alone on Tim Thomas, but the puck just evaded him as he attempted to backhand it into the roof of the net.
Mere seconds later however, Matt Hunwick accepted a nice feed from David Krejci in the slot and one-timed it past a helpless Price to give the Bruins their first lead of the game. And just as it seemed Boston would sneak out with the 2 points, Tom Kostopoulos got his second goal of the season by deflecting a Patrice Brisebois point shot to beat Tim Thomas and send the game into overtime.
Chances fell each team’s side in O.T, but neither club could capitalize as both goalies showcased their puck-stopping prowess once again.
Cue the shootout, and after Blake Wheeler scored on Boston’s first attempt, the pressure was on Alex Kovalev to put his team on level terms but the Russian winger couldn’t beat Thomas. Andrei Markov and Saku Koivu then also failed to convert their attemps and the Boston escaped out of Montreal with the full 2 points.
