1) That was hard to watch. 50 or so minutes of really solid hockey from the Canadiens, but it's those last 10 that were just brutal.
2) This wasn't unexpected - the Bruins scored 104 third period goals this year. Montreal needs to find a way to slow them down in the third.
3) Despite my negativity during the game, this series is far from over. The downside is that they gave up a 2 goal lead in the last 4 minutes of the third period. The bright side, however, is that the Habs are headed home with a split.
4) Yes, Thomas Vanek scored 2 goals, but I still don't think he played his best hockey. Made some really questionable plays today and his passing seemed off.
5) Turns out the Habs do have a powerplay. 3 PP goals over the last two games, including 2/6 today.
6) Call in an missing persons alert for Max Pacioretty; or maybe they just forgot him in Montreal. Either way, the Habs won't win without him.
7) Price was spectacular - for 50 minutes. After Dougie Hamilton scored the Bruins' second goal, he definitely wasn't at his best.
8) Michael Bournival needs to stay in the lineup. His speed on the left of Plekanec and Gallagher was a real boost.
9) I'd be willing to bet my life savings that Brandon Prust is injured. He has zero strength on the puck and has looked awful during the past two games.
10) I think everyone knew the Habs weren't going to finish this postseason without losing. It's a tough loss, but time to regroup and head home for game 3.
Next game is Tuesday, 7pm and the Bell Centre
