Incredible. Impossible. Unbelievable. Find your own adjective, folks.

The Canadiens scored five straight goals tonight to rally from a 5-0 deficit, then got a goal from Saku Koivu in the shootout and Montreal goalie Cristobal Huet stopped all three New York shooters, giving Montreal a 6-5 victory over the visiting Rangers.

Michael Ryder and Alex Kovalev scored two goals apiece, with Mark Streit adding another before Koivu scored the only goal in the shootout, Huet stopping New York's Brendan Shanahan, Chris Drury and Jaromir Jagr to seal the remarkable victory. It was the first time in the Canadiens' 99-year history that the club has rallied from a 5-0 deficit to win a regular-season game, and the first time in their history that the Rangers had blown a five-goal lead to lose.



The win kept the Canadiens in a tie with Ottawa atop the NHL Eastern Conference with 75 points, although the Senators are listed first because they have more wins and a game in hand. Ottawa beat the hapless Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in a shootout tonight.

If the Canadiens owned Philadelphia this season, having swept the Flyers 4-0 in their series, the Rangers came into tonight’s game having beaten Montreal three times this year and seeking their first series sweep of the Habs since 2001-02.

The Rangers exploded for two first-period goals within a breath of each other. Brandon Dubinsky opened the scoring at 8:50 with a hard snap shot from the edge of the faceoff circle past the right pad of Carey Price, and off the draw, the Rangers rushed again, Sean Avery sneaking in behind a disorganized Canadiens defence to bang one past Price for the 2-0 lead at 9:04.

The bleeding didn’t soon stop. Shanahan made it 3-0 at 13:56, on the power play from close range, Kovalev having been sent off 15 seconds earlier for high-sticking.

That goal marked the end of an 11-shot night’s work for Price, who yielded the crease to Huet.

Montreal showed promise early in the second, but a four-minute high-sticking penalty to Christopher Higgins at 2:44 quickly deepened the hole, Shanahan scoring his second of the night at 4:35.

And then it was 5-0, Drury whipping home the Rangers’ fifth at 5:03 from in close during the second of Higgins’s minors. That was New York’s 10th unanswered goal on Montreal ice since 28 minutes into the teams’ most recent Bell Centre game on Feb. 3.

Ryder finally gave the home fans something to cheer about, taking a nice pass from Streit to rifle home his 10th of the season and second in as many games, beating Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist at 8:28.

Ryder, again, brought the crowd to its feet at 12:52, drilling in his second of the night off another pass from Streit. Good work by Maxim Lapierre and defenceman Ryan O’Byrne did the spadework on this one.

Fourteen minutes of goalless hockey evaporated with two lightning-fast Canadiens goals, Kovalev and Streit, deflecting in a Ryder shot that for a time looked like a hat-trick for the Newfoundlander, scoring at 6:43 and 6:52 of the third, practically bringing down the Bell Centre roof.

And then, the improbable/impossible: Kovalev’s second of the night on the power-play, a one-timer from his favourite faceoff-circle spot at 15:38, tied the game at 5-5. It was his 29th of the season. To a thrilling overtime, then the shootout.

History made, fans delirious, coaches drained. We'll be critiquing the highs and lows of this one for months.

What the hell? Mathias Brunet La Presse Rien ne nous permet pour l’instant de confirmer qu’une transaction entre le Canadien et les Thrashers d’Atlanta est conclue, mais La Presse a appris, hier, qu’on avait commandé de l’équipement aux couleurs de la formation montréalaise pour l’attaquant vedette de 29 ans, Marian Hossa. for ryder and Streit apparently

http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20080220/CPSPORTS0101/80220288/6488/CP... The article also mentions jerseys were made for aucoin and khabibulin two years ago in a deal that did not get done. Didn't know we were about to trade ribeiro dagenais theodore for khabibulin and aucoin until he broke his ankle the day before the announcement two years ago. That would've been interesting had it gone through, it might have actually been a really good move (certainly better than the trades that ended up being made) if not for bad luck. Aucoin is doing really well in Calgary this season. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/1288/career;_ylt=At4RG_r88wekPB8xlIa... But that's the past, as for the immediate present... If this story is indeed true let's hope Hossa doesn't trip and get that dreaded "high ankle sprain"

Ok everyone, Hossa is coming to montreal..cyberpresse is reporting that equipement and jerseys for hossa have been ordered in the evening so that it would be ready for tomorrow's game !!!!!!!!! a-w-e-s-o-m-e

Bob will do what is best for this team.I have complete trust in this man and the team he has around him (eg.Gauthier and Timmins).Many feel that the Habs will pick up Tanguay but, I think that they will go after Jokinen from Florida.We will soon see!Go Habs Go!!!

Last night was just absolutely brilliant. For any pro team in any sport, let alone the boys from my home town playing hockey. The way this went, well, sigh. One of my colleagues is now "annoyed" at I-Tunes because he can't load it yet for his relatives to show in Italia. Va bene. You can try to contextualize or position this game in history but actually this is now. Fortuitously (sort of), I have watched most of the great games that the Habs have played over the last 35 years on tv and even several times in person, including all the ones that will be obviously advanced by experts to rival or equal. The only 2 games -- or actually moments -- that rate to me are Lemaire-to-Lafleur (poor old Gilles Gilbert) and St Patrick vs. Rangers overtime. Yes, I saw the 5-1 to 7-5 game, and several more. Hmmm. Meanwhile, the trade rumours persist to the extent that my son actually e-mailed me with his version(s). I think many Habs fans worry about this because we know that there is magic happening on team spirit. You saw them. They were grinning and growling.... way too much having fun (hah). And my version of "Lions in Winter" is signed by Rocket. Chemistry is very touchy. The boys could maybe use a piece, but they are now thinking that they can beat anybody. Yup, for sure anybody in the East. For example, if we could get Sundin -- I still remember the Nordiques series and the screaming, who says he won't play for us -- we walk up an carve les gars on the Cup. But a rental? Unless the GM has an understanding? Hey, Finns and Swedes are not natural allies, but who knows what a Cup could bring...... Don't know about the West, don't see the way they play. My view for what it is worth: Stay with what we have, i.e., no new big pieces unless it is a Godfather. Get a really good bruiser -- certainly not a psycho -- but a young lad with hands both ways, there are a few of these. Sign No. 4 in the summer and even deny that you have spoken together like most deals. Go habs go PS. Hey coach, please be very careful who you play or do not play (20, 71)

It's Wednesday night and almost 24 hours after our victory over the New York Rangers....and I'm still reliving and remembering the game in my brain than going to bed with my wife! "We will win the Cup only with Carey Price in the nets"

Funny that we play our best without Bobs three free agents, Brisebois, Kostops and Smolinki, lets keep away from rentals for awhile.

Chuck's picture
Bob's free agent signings have done exactly what was expected of them: hold the fort until the youngsters were ready to take their place. It looks like we're ready to witness the Changing of the Guard. Even though that may be so, don't discount the importance of the veterans that provided the stability necessary to allow the kids to grow into their roles. . . . ______________________________________ "All bow down before the Komisaurus Rex!"

We have finally two scoring lines, Kovy's line and Ryder's line. Strait turned out to be a perfect set-up man for Ryder. With Lapierre creating traffics all over the ice, Carbo has created a very effective line.

Memories of Kostopoulos on the first line are just fading...And Guy didn't change up all the lines after the first period...Maybe he is learning on the job. Great game!

we shall file that memory right along side the trevor linden experiment.different era, same result.

smiler2729's picture
If the chemistry is good then I hope Gainey doesn't screw with the team but if the chance for a Stanley Cup run is there too then maybe an 'impact' player might be needed but I think chemistry is most important for Cup wins and we got it, man, these guys enjoy playing with one another so it's a hard one... I wouldn't want to Bob Gainey in the next little while... or maybe I would.

I agree with all the points Hab Professor and Riverview have mentioned. I would be sorry to see anyone go. I admit it would be awesome to see Hossa in a habs jersey, but what if he doesn't fit in? And who are we going to have to give away? I really hope it is not Higgins. I don't want to see anyone leave, really. By the way, I was at the game last night. I think I may just frame my ticket. So depressing, and then all of a sudden, a comeback. Wow. I was wide awake until 1:30 am. I just hope the next game will be just as exciting, only I don't really want to see another comeback, too much anxiety for me, lol. I swear I was feverish starting in the third period, I was so nervous that they wouldn't tie it and then so nervous they would blow it all over again. lol.

Funny you should mention that because I read that somewhere.

The M's picture
A THN writer has stated these as Montreal's top tradeable prospects. MONTREAL 1. David Fischer, D – Minnesota (WCHA) – 1st Round ’06 – Sophomore year at Minnesota finds him developing nicely. 2. P.K. Subban, D – Belleville (OHL) – 2nd Round ’07 – Great feet and offensive instincts helped Canada at the WJC. 3. Yannick Weber, D – Kitchener (OHL) – 3rd Round ’07 – Offensive leader from the blueline. 4. Max Pacioretty, LW – Michigan (CCHA) – 1st Round ’07 – Point-a-game as a freshman is very impressive. 5. Ryan White, C – Calgary (WHL) – 3rd Round ’06 – Plays the game hard and scores, too. I have to agree. I can't believe the depth of our prospects. We still have Halak, McDonough, Chipchura, Yemilin, Valentenko, Maxwell. Trevor Timmins is the man

habs12345's picture
dont forget brisebois

cautiousoptimist's picture
I don't see Bob trading potential for experience - he's way too savvy to deal away players who haven't hit their full market value yet. www.flickeringpictures.com

I'd say Fischer and Weber are tradeable and attractive prospects. In other words, I would be very hesitant to see them go. The other 3 on this list I'd really, really hate to see them go.

Thats true, we have so many defensive prosepects, why not use some for a needed foward, that seems to be what I am hearing somewhere.

Blitzen's picture
Timmins is great and we recently stole the guy who drafted much of the talent in Ottawa. Can't wait to see what they do in the upcoming draft... _____________________________________________________ Remember February 19th: The Comeback

great guy to talk hockey with as well.bob knows how to surround himself with winners.

it would be hard to trade Pacioretty with hoe well he is doing. He could turn into something

mjames's picture
This is rather disturbing . I read where some Swiss based hockey sheet is stating that Gainey has offered Higgins, Streit and a first rounder for Houssa. If this should ever transpire this would be the beginning of the end for our short lived dynasty. Gainey knows that rentals don't work!! mjames

dont see that happening.if higgins is traded, they'l have a harder time re-signing komi. + this team is building excellent chemistry at the right time.not good to mess with. he might add a player but not break up the current roster at this time.

cautiousoptimist's picture
I can't see this happening - no rentals, Bob! www.flickeringpictures.com

WindsorHab-10's picture
I know it's only one game but last night's 4th line of Ryder, Streit & Lappiere was simply awesome to watch. I would hate to trade away Streit and especially Higgins. On the other hand, you have to give up quality players to get the same back. We'll see what happens in the next few days and I'm sure Bob will do what's best for the team.

The only bad thing about Higgins for Hossa is the bond between Komisarek and Higgins...Hate to see him end up somewhere else.

A Swiss hockey sheet? seems a bit far from the source to be credible in my eyes. And surprise surprise, the first mention of Streit in a trade comes from a Swiss paper. :-P

Corio's picture
SOURCE PLEASE! :)

If we trade Higgins, hope its for Jokinen.

Watched Ryder and Huet contribute mightily to an unbelievable comeback. Then I realized it was all a dream. Both those guys were traded weeks ago. GO HABS.

NightRyder's picture
Do you think any real fans want Ryder and Huet to stink? That's insane. I'm guessing the vast majority of us want them to play as well as possible, then be flogged for future assets. Neither will be back next year, and the team can fare just fine without them. So let's get something for them.

Ahem. ZING! I'd say quite a few critics are eating their words right about now.

Yeah, Ryder is having a great season! Well, no.

RiverviewCanadien's picture
Kovalev on Ryder and then Ryder's response... [Michael] Ryder can score goals, we all know that. It’s a good thing he did tonight, because without him we’re not talking about this huge comeback win,” said Kovalev of the struggling winger who tallied two goals and one assist. “It hasn’t been easy for him all season long and I couldn’t be happier for Michael.” When told about Kovalev handing him most of the credit for the biggest comeback in team history, Ryder wouldn’t hear of it. “Sure, this feels awesome considering how my season has gone so far, but this was a team effort all the way,” said Ryder. “What we did here tonight comes down to pride, pure and simple. We weren’t about to back down. “The crowd was electric, too. They stayed behind us and helped turn the game around,” added Ryder. “These fans can do that and we saw it here tonight.” I am not jumping on any bandwagon, but Ryder should stay and I have felt that all along (I have been told sorry Ryders days are done from some posters here)...I hope it's not true, I guess I may be a little biased as were are both from NFLD and he is from the same area as my mother, but when this guy is on, this guy is on (imagine his energy come playoffs). Kovy is right, without Ryder, we ALL would NOT have seen THIS game...PERIOD! I actually don't want to see any changes. A complete team (even the guys in the box), tons of depth, tons of talent, tons of goalies, tons of prospects, ETC! ETC! ETC! Carbo knows how to pick his lines...he makes me shake my head some times, but he knows his team right now and who to play. Mr. Gainey...Ryder should stay...no Tanguay please I have said it before..."Playoffs are going to be very exciting for HABS fans" Cheers

great blog. this is where fan support comes to play down the stretch. this game means alot to the players when the fans back them up when they r down .this is what makes for the greatest fans in the game.and a great confidence boost for the players.when the fans pick it up a notch, the players do as well.they feed off the fans and vice versa.this team is going to be tough to play againts in the playoffs.go habs

Keeping Ryder isn't a problem for me if he can keep it up. I'm sure we'll see him remain in the lineup from here to the deadline. If he keep scoring I'm sure we'll keep him, unless the right deal comes along, and if it was a flash in the pan performance then Gainey will probably get what he can for him. To say that the team needs NO changes is a bit of a stretch. We still need a good consistent faceoff man. Faceoffs were a VERY strong point in last nights game as the team won 62% of it's faceoffs and no one went below 50%. Lapierre especially was excellent. But this hasn't been the norm. We're 23rd in the league in faceoff percentage with only 48.6%. That isn't good enough, and without the possession we gained by winning all those faceoffs last night that comeback would have been even more difficult, probably impossible.

RiverviewCanadien's picture
If that is the only reason to trade for, well that can always be worked on and besides they proved last night they CAN win faceoffs, yeah 23rd in the league for faceoffs and 4th overall, I think they are doing just fine. I believe the battles on the boards might have something to do with it and the forechecking by Lats, he can be a machine when he wants to.

That's all fine, but how often does he want to? Even in a game like last nights Latendresse put up a whopping...one hit. That's supposed to be his job. Whether someone CAN do something is meaningless if they AREN'T. Ryder is a prime example. Everyone knows he CAN score, but he wasn't so he had no value. Also, sitting pat because your team is doing fine without trying to improve further is the first step to not doing so fine anymore.

HAB-PROFESSOR's picture
I agree with your POST 100% I was behind RYDER all year...I was behind KOVALEV all last year. some fans can't see past a shift or a game...but thats how it is...and its wrong. Look at what a player can do, what are his strengths, then do everything possible to make sure that player plays to those strengths. If every player is doing that and supporting each other...winning the BATTLES, then we win the cup..EASY. Samsonov, classic example...not playing to his strengths, not supporting his teamates...A DESTROYER OF CHEMISTRY....I never said he was a bad player, just NOT RIGHT FOR OUR SYSTEM..he may do better somewhere else... THESE BANDAID solutions make me sick....Hossa for 3 players, TANGUAY for 3 players....we don't need those CREEPS...get lost. CHEMISTRY is the most Important element on a winning team, good that we have BG, Muller and Carb, they know all about Chemistry. --------- 1. Feb 19, 2008 - History was made. 1. ONLY BELIVEAU CAN CONVINCE LECAVALIER... 2. Thank GOD we have Alex Kovalev.....at his PRIME 3. The BELL CENTRE should be rebuilt to sit 80,000 fans 4. We will win the CUP

nice post, loved every word. I agree no rentals...or getting rid of talent, I think MTL has enough history in that dept as well.

The M's picture
Hossa is a superstar. I wouldn't let Higgins go, but Hossa would give us the top two lines in the NHL. Kost, Plek, Kovy Higgins, Koivu, Hossa Of course getting a superstar is difficult, and resigning Hossa would be key as well _____________________________________ Pessimism is a cowards way out.

cautiousoptimist's picture
I really don't see how it benefits us to get Hossa for two months in exchange for Higgins forever - rentals are no way to win a Cup. www.flickeringpictures.com

we can't afford to trade, we should deal only with UFA's --------- 1. Feb 19, 2008 - History was made. 1. ONLY BELIVEAU CAN CONVINCE LECAVALIER... 2. Thank GOD we have Alex Kovalev.....at his PRIME 3. The BELL CENTRE should be rebuilt to sit 80,000 fans 4. We will win the CUP

Such awful officiating. The Rangers clutched, grabed, elbowed and slashed but somehow they couldn't stop the walls from falling down.

What about Komi's "high stick" PHANTOM CALL

I was just reading the CTV News article and they mentionned Sundin. I immediately thought of golf ... i guess its an automatic association :) What is the possibility of HIO folks getting together for a round or two of golf this summer. Is this something yuo would be interested in? I'm in the Ottawa area, even if we only get a foursome going ...might be fun.

Scotty90, Wonderful idea. Count me in please - I'm in Montreal. When you have some news/details on this or need some help in getting it organized, let me know through Habs I/O. Thanks.

Chuck, Scotty and Sulemaan Thanks for your input but I guess I'm losing it. I went on the Montreal Canadiens site and there are no playoff games in that time frame against New York. It must have been a regular season game because I remember one of the goals was a J C tremblay lob. Thanks again guys

JC's trademark! the lob..

habfan53's picture
Remember how it would bounce 10-15 feet in front of the goalie then acted like a knuckleball pitch??

i do! I saw him score a couple that way.

Smart Dog's picture
I've written a couple of notes about how I think going "with the hot hand" is not a smart strategy. Price seemed a little less sharp in his third game and should have probably not started last night, as the Habs discovered. Carbo needs to pay more attention to his goalies, and this "hot hand" thing is too simplistic. In support of this, I just say this on TSN: >Head coach John Paddock says neither goalie was happy with the 'win >and you're in' arrangement and he challlenged them at practice on >Monday to just go out and stop the puck. Goalies don't like it either. Some like to play a ton regardless. Some (and I think both of ours are like this for different reasons) prefer a break after a couple of games. ALL goalies (even Roy) like the coach to see where they are and make judgement calls to keep them at their best. My view is this is key to the goalies confidence and so to the team's success. I think Carbo has shown he's a very good coach, he's more focused, has more nuance, and obviously is steering the team well. But I still say this is an area he needs to pay more attention to. Maybe by talking to Rolie more or listening to his 'tenders. Sorry for the lenght. As always, IMHO ________________________________________________________________ Habs Fans! The FUTURE looks bright: Plekanec, Higgins, Chipchura, A Kostitsyn, Lapierre, Latendress, Price, S Kostitsyn, Komisuarus, O'Byrne

Hey Smart Dog.. mind if i nibble on your ear?

Just a reminder, somebody better get hot and stay hot, as its rare a Cup contender flip flops goalies.

Fabio D's picture
I thought the same thing when I heard the Price was starting the game. And agree with you 100%. All the travelling, playing back to back games on the weekend, travelling back to Montreal, wears thin on NHL Vets, let alone rookie goaltenders. 3 goals on 14 shots, 2 of which were on top of each other is the result. Funny hearing the announcer start with the first goal and halfway through pausing as the 2nd was scored. I started laughing as I imagined the "Are you kidding me look" on the announcers face. Then finished and announced the second. What message does this "hot hand" approach send Huet? Thanks for carrying the load, we'll give this guy a shot see how he does. Then he watches as the Rangers pop 3 goals in. Only to see Carbo motion for him to get in the game. Probably smirking behnd his mask as he skated to the net. Price is the goalie of the future, Huet is the goalie of now and for at least another year. Play Price for 2-3 game stretches, if he wins, he wins and Price's confidence is kept in tact and he's a happy rookie developing and being happy to play 20-30 games a year. Give Huet the majority of the starts and he's happy because he knows he's the #1, after a career as that backup goalie no one knows about. Happy Goalie's + Confident Play = WINS We don't need a goalie controversy in Montreal. Look what it's doing to Ottawa. And look what it did in Jersey. No controversy, a couple of cups in 5 years. My 2 cents.

I said on Sunday that I felt Price had let in a couple of soft goals against Philly. He was beaten stick side on all three goals on Sunday and all three goals on Tuesday. His positioning may have faltered a little at some point. Thats the thing with these young guys though. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a young kid like that is going to have his share of struggles, and thats all part of the learning process. Huet has a ton of international experience, hes played well for us the last 3 years and so I'm confident he can do the job down the stretch. I don't think this is the right time to fire test our new franchise goalie.

wd40's picture
Thing that gets me are the monday morning quarterbacks. We were talking about the game at work today .. guy who says "Carbo should never have started Price 4 games in a row.. he's too young and inexperienced". Yes, it's quite easy to make statements like that after the fact.

Smart Dog's picture
I agree, and I'm guilty of it now and then myself. But I had said this before hand - and posted a list of reasons why it was a bad strategy, not the least of which is that it guarantees that anytime a goalie is riding the pine his last memory is of a bad game or loss. More than that it just ignores too much - it's too simple a rule to actually work. Another poster here also mentioned that Price seemed to be losing focus in the last game before. Some of us were AHEAD this time ;) ________________________________________________________________ Habs Fans!

yeah, i should clarify, I don't have issue with your comments (which are well articulated) but rather the "yeah he shouldn't have.. etc" or "i knew it" sort. You are indeed the Smart Dog. :) To use the trading analogy, sometimes you hang on to a stock which is rising too long purely out of greed and forget to look at the fundamentals.

Yeah I like that photo of Begin smashin and bangin' also... you should of heard one of the announcers out of NY repeating that was a "late hit" and he "left his feet!" Thing is Begin hits hard and with no regard. He left his feet because of impact, not because of trying to hit some with a flying shoulder. Not to mention ever 3 seconds them saying the crowd was NOT educated for booing every call, wanting calls after a Hab was knocked down, or throwing stuff on the ice after the Komistruction got his second penalty. They quieted down after the habs tied the game and reveled in awh over how loud it was at the "for Whom the BELL tolls" center.

that's a great shot. i must have missed that hit. that's some serious air time! he's like a foot off the ground at least.

I've actually changed my photo a couple of times since the Bégin one...went with the Kovy one and now Koivu.
