Fresh off a 4-0 win over the Carolina Hurricanes, the Canadiens took on the Islanders on Thursday evening and, as they often do in back to back games…blew it. They made it close, cutting a 3-0 lead to 3-2, and 4-2 to 4-3 with a few minutes to go, but they couldn’t get the goal they needed to send things into overtime.
Peter Budaj looked ordinary at best on Thursday, whereas Carey Price looked quite solid on Wednesday. Granted, Carolina didn’t present much of an attack, but Price was there when he was needed.
All in all, pretty impressive performances by a team with a defence sporting more rookies than you can shake a stick at. Things got a tad worse this week, with the announcement that Hal Gill has been hospitalized with a virus.
Andrei Kostitsyn has also been added to the IR with what’s believed to be a groin issue. So who are the real Habs?
