Postgame Avs-Oilers: Varly lays an egg in prove-it-to-me game
Tonight’s goaltending performance by Semyon Varlamov reminded me a lot of Peter Budaj’s years with the Avalanche. In a game the team really needed to win, the goaltender – Budaj then, Varlamov tonight – couldn’t make a big save when it counted. As a result, the Avs came out of a game just like in so many with Budaj – “tough luck” losers. But a loser, regardless. ...

Montreal: backs against the wall
If the Habs have faced a must win all year, this is it. Backs against the wall? They’re through them.
Meanwhile, turmoil in Montreal. I said the seats were becoming emptier, and people called me crazy. Well, now many articles and pundits are commenting on hundreds, if not thousands, of empty seats at the Bell Centre each game. Scalpers can’t sell their tickets. Montrealers...

Habs are, er, were rolling
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.

Goalie Has Ned Flanders Mask Design
Hockey goalies often have vivid imagery on their masks, but Peter Budaj has just one-upped everyone else.
The Canadiens backup goalie has a picture of Simpsons‘ character Ned Flanders on the side. The design, created by Dave Gunnarson, revolves around wizardry.
It also has glow in the dark lightning bolts, of course.
