Why do Habs players celebrate every goal like it's an over time playoff winner?

Go away with your crap. It's so tiring already.

I don't know why Therrien likes Gilberts so much. Personally I find that he sucks.

Wait a second - there are multiple Gilberts on this team?

Yes.

I did not watch one second of this game. Was asleep before puck drop.

Well that's not so good. Were the lines all mixed up?

On the upside, Therrien tried just about every combination

Obviously a problem with the motor.

I hope Bergevin was watching that poop show last night

I wasn't. Listened to the 1st period and a half on the radio... but every play looks like they're about to score with these guys so it's hard to tell how they really played.

They are the worst 8-2-1 team in the history of the NHL.

I know they are 1st in the league, with a record that is enviable.

But this whole "finding ways to win", with the way they are playing, will turn into "finding ways to lose" if they don't turn that poop up real quick.

listening to the sportsnet broadcast was painful, John Garrett moving into some Jack Edwards territory

Go back to your daily job aka waiting all day for the next Eklund blog to rip it apart and pretending you don't care.

Miller kept it pretty routine throughout most of the game. Other than the odd Gallagher play, Habs stayed to the perimeter

So the Burrows hit... what's up with that?

Haven't seen a replay yet. was it bad?

1-1-1 on the trip is what I called. The Avs and Rangers games they played well. Chicago should be a good barometer on Tues of where they stand.

Even that home game against Calgary. I'm fine with them coming away .500 on that run

They seem to be able to pull it off at 5vs5, but what's killing them is their ineffective power play.

We all had a bad feeling about that road trip and honestly, it seems like every time the Habs go on a western trip, it's a completely different team. No major injuries, line experiments, we can wait a week or two before complaining, me thinks.

That said, I'm pretty Bergevin has a few fishing lines right now for trading for some help on defense. (edit : offensive defenseman to be precise)

absolutely brutal...all perimeter stuff. they also are close to the worst in giving shots up on the PK. Price is hiding a few holes in their game right now.

True... How was their powerplay last year? Can't remember their ranking

I'm not really complaining, because they are winning. But the reality is, the convincing performances are few and far between. Lots of those games could easily be losses if it wasn't for lucky bounces in the 3rd period. Now, they have the luxury to pile up points early on, which is great. But their overall game leaves a lot to be desired. Hope they figure it out, quick.
