The day my blog powers deserted me : Habs 5-2 Senators
I apologize for not updating yesterday, I had a… wardrobe malfunction.
Kovy’s mug showed up on the scoreboard, the packed house cheered, Carbo sported a new suit and the Habs handled the big trio.
Spare me the crap about a convincing performance, we surrendered 78 chances to the Ottawa Senators (47 shots, 19 blocked, 12 misses).
I’ll give you an “encouraging & better” performance. I’ll give you Kovy did very well for “one game”. I’ll also give you we’re five points out of 10th.
But enough emo boy stuff, I was pretty pleased. The assist from Kovalev on the TurtlePleks goal was enthralling, the goal was vintage Russian maestro, but what I’m gona remember and what is engraved in my ever-maturing excuse of a brain, ALEX KOVAEV DIVING TO CLEAR HIS ZONE ON A PENALTY KILL! DID THAT FUCKEN HAPPEN!? BOB! BENCH HISS ASS EVERY 10 GAMES!
But I’ll save my judgment on whether he’s really back to the end of this tough week for the Habs, with the Canucks coming up first followed by Philadelphia cheese and the Sharks (a team that good cannot be mocked…or can they?).
The Terminator did well, as well as a half-man/half-Slovak goaltender can do. But you give the Canucks 47 shots on Tuesday, and the shit’s gona hit the A.C.
Mathieu Dandenault finally got his second goal of the season, and man I love the man. Totally heterosexual man to man love though. Not a weird “I lick your toothbrush when you fall asleep” love. I’m not into that…anymore. Mandy Dandy also only needed an assist to complete his Gordie Howe hattie.
Dany Heatley scares me when he has the puck. You give the guy half a second in the slot and it’s a goal. I wish I had that talent.
I also LOVED Josh Gorges dropping the gloves to defend Chips Ahoy. We need more of that.
What didn’t please me though, and trust me you wana keep me pleased, was the way we plugged it all up when we established that 4-0 lead. We cannot keep playing defensive hockey once we get a lead, we have to keep going at them and scoring more. NO MERCY!
Oh yeah, one last thing. Andrei Markov played a hell of a game. Guy’s a gem. Just ’cause his bottom lip is way too large for the rest of his body doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve love. SHOW HIM LOVE!
