GDT: Montreal Canadiens @ Boston Bruins, May 1st (Thursday) 19:30, CBC RDS NBCSN

[Markov4Captain]

All things considered, good period for Habs. Price has been great. Vanek is killing Pacioretty's game. I spent an entire shift watching him and he doesn't seem to care. Hopefully he can wake up because we need him. I can't get over the transformation of Eller and Bourque. Bruins will come out hungry in the second, boys better be ready.

DD is trying dont get me wrong, he's just beeing targetted right now since h'es the passer, Vanek and Pacioretty are playing way too high for him to do something, which means he has to go thru traffic to get out of the zone, which led to him doing chip passes most of the time. I'm not saying he's terrible. Vanek is invisible and the qhole line needs to wake up

Oh

Yeah you're kind of right then... but I don't think he's to blame, he's a small guy, and his linemates aren't helping him at all...

If only that line woke up, we could do some serious damage

 

[PsychoticHab]

Because that's how hockey works.

In the EA Sports NHL series it is.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Bournival's speed was needed in that period.... moen is not physical enough to negate his lack of foot speed

Bournival helps with the breakout.

Overlord was right when he said that Prust/Weiss should sit.

Prust has been pretty bad. I'm giving him another 2 periods to show me he deserves to be there.

As for Moen... I'd give him some time to get back in it. He's been out for a while.

 

[Hoople]

He may work hard but he's pushed around like an infant.

Wtf. You didn't see DD steal the puck by out-working Dick Iginla?

 

[habdynasty]

what is with all the negativity ?????


WERE ON THE ROAD ,AFTER a long lay off.......Habs did well in period 1 .

I was just about to post this, whine whine whine is all that happens here.

Can people please stop trying to analise players after 1 period in a 7 game series please.....it is plain Pejorative Slured.

Habs are up 1-0 on the road,be happy.

 

[ZARTONK]

Moen is an important asset on defence, especially on the PK.

 

[HABS win CUPS*]

Killer first period by the habs took some time to wake up by pp was money when needed to be

 

[Natey]

Bourque is still our best forward.

I may be up for trying;

Patch-DD-Gally
Vanek-Pleks-Briere

 

[nyhabsfan]

First line is showing me nothing.... need to get their legs

 

[zx81]

Vanek has to leave the 1st line. Put back Gally on that line.

TV is not even trying 90% of the time.

 

[Et le But]

Did anyone really expect us to outplay the Bruins in Boston after 10 games off? We need to improve but this was exactly the start we needed.

 

[LaP]

Bournival needs to be back for next game. We are missing his forecheck.

 

[Vinc360]

That was an exciting period with a few great moments, this series is gonna be entertaining that's for sure.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Wow Prust can't even skate anymore. Bournival, please.

I'd really prefer bumping Briere or Bournival to the Plek line. Prust just is not good enough to be utilized so much. Let him be a nuisance in the depth lines like he's supposed to.

 

[Natey]

Wtf. You didn't see DD steal the puck by out-working Dick Iginla?

Or from Bergeron on the 3 on 2

 

[SirClintonPortis]

3 heart attack moments: Subban's missed hip check, Markov falling down, that laughable faceoff loss at the end of the period.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

We are playing a smart road game against a stronger team so far. Can't hate on a 1-0 result even if Price had to be incredible.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Vanek has to leave the 1st line. Put back Gally on that line.

TV is not even trying 90% of the time.

Really? We've played twenty minutes in ten days and you want to break up our best line through the season?

 

[oleHABSole*]

Pacioretty-Vanek invisible!

Subban in beast mode as usual. If we can get our top line rolling we have a shot at this series.

They're always looking for that stretch pass due to so many breakaways lately

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Did anyone really expect us to outplay the Bruins in Boston after 10 games off? We need to improve but this was exactly the start we needed.

Agreed. Price really stepped up, I'm impressed, we needed that.

It felt rather even for me, actually. Bruins had a long layoff too.

 

[nyhabsfan]

Come on Boys .... get the next one and get the Ruins in a panic!!!

 

[habs247]

DD playing scared

DD is playing as well he possibly can, when he has 2 anchors weighing him down. It's just like the 1st round.

DD even made a couple of great back checking plays.

DD is NOT the problem on that first line.
