The day our defense was as soft as the Pillsbury guy : Habs 3-4 Rangers


Serge Savard registers the last official hit ever recorded by a Canadiens defenseman

You know what? Something about this team makes me wish I was controlling them on NHL 09. At least then, I wouldn’t let anyone run my goalie. At least then, I would pass on a two on one (I’M LOOKING AT YOU CHRIS HIGGINS). At least then, we’d maybe make the playoffs.

Oh well, another “must-win” comes and goes, and we find ourselves at the “oh, well at least we took a point” end of the spectrum.

Look at the positives you say? OK! SUN’S SHINING BABY! Soon enough, mini-skirts and tight bathing suits will say hello to the summer air once again, and life will be o.k.a.y.

Max Lapierre scored a very nice goal, and he played like he cared. Kovy, apart from singing “ooo, i have puck, i love rrussia, ooo, i have puck, i have silk hands, look at kovy hands, kovy has silk hands, go around whole team, tralala, i am kovy, kovy has hair like lafloor, i so good” on a couple of occasions where his puck-hogging got the better of him, played well and scored a very important goal.

BUT DID YOU SEE THAT PASS FROM MARKOV!? GOOD GOD THAT SHIT WAS SWEET! He also played his usual steady game apart from that party-inducing pass. Seriously man, people see that pass and they wana get up, put on some Lionel Richie and party the night away.

Tender Gender was out for like 20 games? What? SOMEBODY TELL HIM! He didn’t miss a beat. He looked as comfortable as Dan Carcillo playing GTA 4.

Coolest part of the game? KOMO SHATTERING THAT CAMERA IN THE PENALTY BOX! I see that stuff on NHL pretty often, but when was the last time that happened in real life?

Oh yeah, when was the last time we haven’t been outshot? Seriously, I think Bush was still in office. Daddy Bush. Not the stupider one.

The defense is a mess. Tortorella makes the Rangers forecheck agressively and we could barely handle it. Sjostrom, Callahan, Antropov and Avery had good games. AND I WARNED YOU GUYS AOUT STAAL DIDN’T I!?

But like I mentioned before, when a team is playing this bad in its own zone, you have to go back to the basics. Our coverage has to be better.

And last BUT oF COURSE not least, I have to speak of the goaltenders. CAREY PRICE! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED AT MY PLACE FOR A GAME OF NHL ANYMORE! WHY DIDN’T YOU STOP A SHOOTOUT SHOT!? NOT EVEN ONE!?!? COME ON! ESPECIALLY AFTER LUNDQVIST GAVE UP SUCH A SOFTIE TO MARKOV! YOU BASTARD YOU!

I’m done. Froot Loops and Pad Thai for life. Supper time!
