The Canadiens won their second in a row, blowing a 3-1 lead but eventually beating the Islanders 5-3. Isles’ goaltender Al Montoya wasn’t particularly sharp on this night, and the difference for the Canadiens was largely the fourth line, but a wins a win and Montreal will take it. Quick highlights: Tomas Kaberle notched an assist, he now has three in two games as a Hab, and he is certainly making an impact on the powerplay. It’s very easy to see how Kaberle slows the play down and makes a first pass as the pp sets up. Something the Canadiens have been missing all year. Continue reading "Habs top Isles"

Carolina Hurricanes Trade Tomas Kaberle to Montreal Canadiens

Kaberle's Impact, Gorges Upset, Garrison, MLSE Sale and More

Happy Monday. It seems Tomas Kaberle had the desired effect on Saturday, as he obtained two assists in a 2-1 win over the Devils. Perhaps even more importantly, his presence seemed to awaken a previously dismal man advantage. As for his one-on-one coverage, such as on Nick Palmieri's goal, that is sometimes another story. The Canadiens have managed to collect points in...

Isles fall 5-3 to the Canadiens

By Daniel Friedman Last night's game in Montreal was one the New York Islanders will wish to soon forget. The Canadiens were able to grab the two points by defeating the Isles 5-3 at the Bell Centre. Don't let the (relatively) close score fool you: This was a mismatch from the opening face-off, and though the Isles would eventually wake up, it'd just be too little...
