Montreal blows another one

Found January 21, 2012 on Kukla's Korner: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: P.K. Subban,  Dustin Jeffrey,  Scott Gomez
TEAMS: Montreal Canadiens,  Pittsburgh Penguins

The Canadiens blew a 4-2 lead Friday night, losing 5-4 in a shootout to Piitsburgh. The Habs have now won 1 of 8 shootouts, and scored 4 goals in them. But who’s counting? Many will blame PK Subban for this loss, pegging him for the Dustin Jeffrey goal that started the comeback. I think that’s bunk. Scott Gomez was out of position, and the rest of the team basically stopped skating. If it wasn’t for PK, it would have been Pittsburgh in the offensive zone against, well, anyone. I don’t blame Gomez for the loss either, despite that terrible play, and the fact that he missed on the final shot of the shootout - where a goal would have tied it. Nope, I blame Randy Cunneyworth: and you can start at the decision of having Scott Gomez take a shot in a shootout. Continue reading "Montreal blows another one"

Canadiens' Subban fined $2,500 for trip

Via AP on Fox  |  January 21, 2012
The NHL fined Montreal Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban $2,500 for what the league called a ''dangerous trip'' on Pittsburgh Penguins forward Chris Kunitz. Subban was punished Saturday for tripping Kunitz on Friday night 17:21 into the third period of Pittsburgh's 5-4 shootout win. No penalty was assessed on the play. The fine is the maximum allowed under the...

Montreal fans plan 1-year anniversary celebration in honor of Scott Gomez’s last goal

Via Puck Daddy  |  January 20, 2012
Earlier this week, we wrote about some Montreal bars that offer free shots every time Scott Gomez scores a goal for the Montreal Canadiens. Alas, patrons have been left quite thirsty: Gomez hasn't scored a goal in 16 games this season, and overall since Feb. 5. Which means, barring an offensive breakthrough ... someone has an anniversary coming up! Which means it's time to...

Scott Gomez’s inability to score a goal depriving Montreal fans of free booze

Via Puck Daddy  |  January 19, 2012
The Montreal Canadiens were shut out by the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night, which means center Scott Gomez had now played 16 games this season without scoring a goal; meanwhile, there are 613 skaters that have at least one goal in the NHL during 2011-12. Overall, he hasn't hit the back of the net since Feb. 5, 2011. All of this is leaving some Habs fans quite thirsty...

Penguins 5, Canadiens 4 (SO)

Via Igloo Dreams  |  January 21, 2012
So what happened? Dustin Jeffrey, Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin happened. Two of those happenings would not have been possible just a week or two ago, so it's nice the see the Pens getting important contributions from some of the guys recently returned from injury.  Richard Park is another player who has provided a few important goals. Jeffrey had the best night of...

  There are not many that have the guts to take this one on but at The Program, we do.  Yes Scott Gomez even failed to score in the shootout. Fantasy wise Gomez has sunk to new lows since his last goal on February 5th, 2011.  That being said, the Montreal Canadiens have either hit rock bottom or are damn close to doing so.  Fantasy wise, aside from their top line...

Speaking of Malkin though, he eventually went into beast mode and scored the game-tying goal. Rawr...

Pens’ comeback vs Habs keeps streak going

Via The Sports Jags  |  January 21, 2012
It looked like the Penguins’ four-game win streak was about to be snapped last night against the Canadiens. But Geno Malkin was having none of that…and there was nothing the Habs could do about it. Twice the Pens found themselves in a two-goal deficit but no lead is safe when the Geno Machino is operating at full power. With just under three minutes left in the game, down by...

Game 48: Habs/Leafs

Via Habsblog  |  January 21, 2012
Classic 11-12 Canadiens. Take a 4-2 lead into the third period and blo it all to eventually lose in OT. I couldn’t watch last night due to a family function, but something tells me that I didn’t need to see it go down to understand what happened. Frankly, I had no illusions that an immaculate run for the playoffs was possible, even though I harbour no ill-will to those who want...
