Eric Engels: A Habs Weekend to Remember

Will Vanek score with the Habs?

And just like that, like the Ultimate Warrior shaking the ropes in the ring while Hogan's pounding him over the head with double-fisted tomahawk swings, the Canadiens scored, and they scored again, and they scored again, and they scored again!

DT...you got that one?

Hello friends

Yes 2 vs Avs.

tomorrow night would be a good time to start. with Price still finding his way back from the injury and Colorado's speed up front, that'll be a wide open game which will likely take 3-4 goals to win.

I think he looks fine. He'll finish. That's all that's missing right now, because man, he's had so many chances. And he's created so many for his linemates too.

Lars Eller - maybe he comes to life and adds something?

The puck is following him. He'll get one.

I liked the touch on Weise. Foot first, then he tried with the hand to be sure.

He's got chances, once the monkey is off his back, it will start...I noticed Therrien putting him on the ice at the end when the net was empty on the other side...

he needs to pass the (frank)ing puck first.

i agree. i do think the goals will come from him.
my concern is the defence... because for a team that chooses to play a conservative/D-first style of hockey and has a miserable time scoring goals, they sure give up a ton of high-quality chances.

Yeah, it's amazing how teams can do as they please inside the faceoff dots in the defensive zone.

You watch the Caps/Leafs game? I've never seen so many in the slot passes and chances in one period.

No, I didn't see that one.
I was at the Short Track World Championships at Maurice-Richard over the weekend.

Of all the live sporting events I have ever been to - the game Saturday night tops the list - what an atmosphere inside the Bell Centre

basementfloor's pic in the last blog was funny.

It wasn't so incredible for 55 minutes. But the end...

Just imagine those who actually left 5 minutes before the end of the third period.
