Michel Therrien says Thomas Vanek is not hurt. "We were looking for combinations that would help us win the game."

I think that's scarier than them saying he was hurt.

Without reading the books? Impressive.

Thanks. I was hoping u guys would take out the Rags.

any night the Habs send the Bs faithful over the edge is a good night.

Trying to stay healthy for the contract payday

Howard doesn't want to hear it.

Maybe he'll buy in after a win or two.

Edit: Vanek.

Vanek and Pacioretty weren't on board tonight,

a long old haul

Brodeur was the rare goalie that could maintain his concentration with hardly any action. It's uncommon.

Patches played hard. Didn't generate much but I thought he at least was trying.

He was something else in that first OT.
I saw something like that once about 20 years ago.

Ken Dryden was the best ever at that. Sometimes outshot the other team 45-15.

Agreed. minor tweaks are OK, but I hate when MT goes crazy and disrupts everyones chemistry.

What will Subban demand after he wins the Conn Smythe???

More than Vanek I agree. But overall we need more. Thought DD gave it everything tonight. Was very happy to see Bourque still involved.
All in all, a lucky win but I think Montreal can play much better. And I think this was Boston at the top of its game and we took the punch.

I'm trying to figure out if it's because the other team is just so careful not to give them anything. Vanek was floating dangerously close to Kovalev levels on a few shifts. Good on Therrien for having the guts to move him down. Can't wait to see how he responds.

Don't you consider going out of his net to take the puck and throw it back action?

They possessed the puck more 5 on 5 therefore won the game I hear.

Expect Bos cheap shots to increase next game

Pacioretty was in there. Not sure weise is the answer, thought that was a shift or two to offset. I liked a couple of shifts with Vanek and Pleks and then Vanek dropped out. He doesn't look like he wants to test the Bs at all....could be a ploy

yeah

You were solid on the panel tonight.
