Kuraly`s best game of the year and it wasn`t even close

If he saves his best games for the Habs , Leafs and playoffs I am cool with that.

Marinaro " Sunday... don't even go to Boston, stay home."

Never listen to him before, but he is a hoot. Not laying off the Habs at all. Love that he is sick of the small Montreal players

true but last night was literally the first game where it appeared he was focused and playing with that extra gear. I was concerned as literally the first time he touched the puck he hung onto it far too long pushing his line mates offside and I thought "here we go again", thankfully that didn`t continue

With expectations falling short in Montreal, questions about...

There are losses, and then there are indelible images left by losses. Things that stick with you for much longer than that particular loss, as humiliating as it might have been.

It is difficult not to wonder what Marc Bergevin might have been thinking looking around the lower bowl of the Bell Centre with roughly five minutes left in the game on Tuesday night and seeing more Boston Bruins jerseys in the stands than Canadiens jerseys. What might Geoff Molson have been thinking, for that matter?

It is a rare sight, to be sure, with most of the high-rent district of the Bell Centre vacated in garbage time of an utter blowout, leaving a not insignificant number of Bruins fans to watch their team put the finishing touches on a pounding of the Canadiens in peace.
Not all blowout losses take on more significance because of the embarrassment involved, but some do, and whether a particular lopsided loss falls into that category largely depends on the context.

The context for the Canadiens on Tuesday was a heightened sense of urgency coming off another embarrassing loss on home ice on Saturday to the New York Rangers, blowing a four-goal lead and playing their sloppiest game of the season. That game on Saturday was identified by Claude Julien as being vitally important to stop the bleeding. So the importance of Tuesday’s game was obvious.

Rows and rows of empty seats vacated long before the end of the game, with Bruins fans left to cheer their team as they celebrated on the ice and barely anyone left who cared enough to boo the Canadiens as they raced off it following an 8-1 shellacking.

That’s the image.

A penny for your thoughts, Berg.

There is nothing in the world more attractive than a beautiful girl wearing a Bruins jersey.

 

[Bruinaura]

I agree, both men deserve better.

I will always appreciate Claude.

And I've been a Shea Weber fan for years. I hate, hate, hate that the Preds traded him.

I know your are sick right now, but that beat down the B's put on the Habs had to make you feel just a bit better. Hope you feel better soon, it sucks being sick.

Notice the number on the glass and stanchion is 37

You’ll never hear me downplay the rivalry - Ever - and I know the history better than a man my age should. This rivalry is in my blood and there is no team in any sport anywhere that I hate more.

That torch burns brightly within me, I assure you.

Hope you didn't think I was suggesting that, last name of Fournier how could you not know the history ! Have some Fournier's in the family in the metropolis of Rumford ME. Are you from there? Or are you the infamous Referee Ron? Anyway I see other posts here, not yours implying the rivalry diminished. Not ever in my lifetime, nor yours Mon Ami !

 

[Zillah]

Can we postpone tonight’s game until tomorrow ? I need another day to bathe in the glory of last nights game .

 

[BNHL]

Habs lose 8-1 at home and give absolutely no response. Today's hockey folks,isn't it fun?

It's a new kind of hockey... any kind of game you humiliate the Habs is fine by me.

Norman Flynn joined Tony to look back at the disastrous 8-1 loss to the Bruins.

Thanks. My eyes don't sting as much so that is progress.

I just started an antibiotic yesterday so I hope to improve soon.

I think I will go on over the Habs board to read through their GDT

 

[Ladyfan]

Brilliant game. **** the Habs!

You went to the game ...right ? Must have been a blast !

 

[missingchicklet]

Listening to Montreal sports radio today has been fun in a sick kind of way.

Definitely not the referee Ron that sold his soul to the Habs.

 

[weinsink]

Gawd i slept good last night

 

[JOKER 192]

what about a Bruin nighty?

What about a jersey as a nighty?

 

[rfournier103]

Humiliating the Habs at home doesn't happen often but when it does

Habs fans were encouraged by the team's start and it looked probable that the dream of making the playoffs was attainable. Now they face the reality that Tampa Bay is now awake and Toronto is addressing their issues.

I heard more than one person ask last night 'Does Babcock speak French?'

Oh??? They think Mike Babcock can help them? The Canadiens are in full-on dumpster fire mode! They’re going to need a lot more than a new coach to cure that squad. That’s for sure.

And speaking of Mike Babcock... any Canadiens fan that wants him as their next coach should be ashamed of himself. Since when does any self-respecting Habs fan want ANYTHING from the Maple Leafs’ trash pile??? WTF is this league coming to? And why Babcock? So he can coach the Canadiens to a first round crap out? They certainly don’t need him for that. I’m almost embarrassed for them.

I’m quite content to see the Bruins beat the bag out of the Canadiens, but coveting Mike Babcock to fill their eventual head-coaching vacancy is pathetic.



Claude Julien lands in Ottawa.

I am 1 1/2 hours into Sportsnet Hockey Central and still waiting for them to stop talking about the Leafs
