Montreal Canadiens 3-5 Tampa Bay ‘We have 1/3 the amount of teams all of Canada has’ Lightning

Patrice Brisebois celebrating his 38th birthday, last night in Tampa
There was a game last night? A game which lasted 60 instead of 20 minutes? Someone tell the Habs!
We saw the two sides of our beloved Canadiens. The first period was a team that dominated a team 18 points worse than us in the standings. And the last two periods was a team that sat down and took the humiliating rape that gave us the Lightning.
We outshot them 20-7 in the first period. They went something like 17 minutes without a shot on Carey. And low and behold, WORKING HARD brought us into the first intermission a goal up.
But after that, we decided the game was over and we wanted to go out to clubs and rob some purses. But the Lightning still had their skates on their feet and their sticks in their hand, and they decided to use them.
Maybe if we didn’t screen our own goddamn goalie we’d have a better chance at winning, that’d be a start no? Twice last night the puck was deflected by our own players into the net.
Not to blame Price for the loss, but if you’re gona win the Stanley Cup, you’re gona need your goaltender to steal games for you. Not many, but, you know…once in a while would be nice.
Mike Smith watches too many Geronimo movies. At least 3 times last night he gave Rick Tocchet a heart attack and the Tampa coach almost grew hair…on his head!
Like Carbs said after the game, “It’s not normal when your supposedly 4th line has been your best line for over a month”. Nail on the head! It’s a cliche but your best players have to be your best players night in night out. That’s why we had so much sucess last season: the Plekanec line did phenomenal.
There’s more talent in the Lapierre line’s skates than there is in their sticks. Markov is a fucken allstar!
I don’t think I’ve heard “Et Robert Lang est hors-jeu encore une fois!” so many times in my life. I think someone should tell them that offsides don’t count on the scoreboard.
We’re now 15 points behind the Bruins in the standings, and barring a miracle and a Boston breakdown similar to that of Britney Spears’, say goodnight to the division. Although, I WILL BELIEVE! I WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE! unless they’re 15 points ahead with like 2 games to go. Then it’s mathematically impossible. See? Maths are no good. They just tell you NO all the time.
Man, why am I even writing this?
