“I watched the first two shots and I saw that he was playing very deep in his net and he wasn’t challenging us much. When a goalie plays that style, there’s not a lot of room for a deke so I came up with this.”
The victory gave the Canadiens a perfect 8-0 record against the Bruins this season and allowed the Canadiens to hold on to first place in both the Eastern Conference and the Northeast Division.
Montreal is one point ahead of Pittsburgh in the Eastern Conference although the Penguins have a game in hand. And the Canadiens have a five-point edge over Ottawa with the Senators visiting the Bell Centre Monday night (7:30 p.m., RDS, CJAD Radio-800, cjad.com).
While the Bruins fell short of a victory, they did pick up an important point. They are tied for seventh place with Philadelphia but are only two points ahead of ninth-place Washington and three up on Buffalo and Florida.
It was the Canadiens’ first game without the injured Mike Komisarek but Josh Gorges came up with a strong effort as Andrei Markov’s partner. He played a season-high 25:14 and wasn’t on the ice for either of the Boston goals.
And Steve Bégin, who has been chomping at the bit after recovering from a groin injury, led the hit parade with eight hits.
“Like you said, I have a lot of pent-up energy,” said Bégin. “I was out there playing my game. That’s the way I was playing before I was injured.”
The Canadiens took the lead twice in the game but the Bruins came back on both occasions.
Markov scored his 15th goal of the season at 2:20 of the first period when the Bruins failed to clear the puck after Thomas stopped a shot by Michael Ryder.
Marc Savard got that one back when he corralled an errant shot behind the Montreal net and beat Carey Price on a wraparound at 8:36 of the first period.
The Canadiens regained the lead when Andrei Kostitsyn scored his 23rd of the season at 9:49 of the first period. Kostitsyn took advantage of a rebound on a shot by Mark Streit and beat Thomas with a backhander.
Montreal seemed to lose the momentum in the second period and Petteri Nokalainen redirected Mark Stuart’s shot at 9:33.
The Canadiens had a couple of chances to go ahead but Christopher Higgins was stopped on a shorthanded breakaway in the final minute of the second period and Andrei Kostitsyn’s backhand with 8:35 to play in the third period hit the side of the net.
Carey Price stopped 33 of 35 shots and then stopped Zdeno Chara, Phil Kessel and Dennis Wideman in the shootout to improve his record to 19-12-3. He is 6-3-0 since the Canadiens traded Cristobal Huet to Washington.
Hey Ali-- I have been getting all RDS games on my computer free on (justintv/habstv) and what ever else they have on. Then I listen to CJAD radio on line in english.
But what is RDS website that you are talking about or is it the same.??
Time in the penalty box for Mr. Cobb and Millhaven isn't that far from Belleville and Andree can visit you but how will we get our weekly Hab's update.
LOL, what you have been doing is kind of illegal Ian, I'm pretty sure ;)
" Give the Habs a 5 minute standing ovation at the end of the last game of the season against the Leafs (winning OR losing)"
"Are the Habs ready to pay the Price?"
REALLY-- What do you mean, someone gave me it on this site a while ago and all i did was type it in and i get it.?? What is it i'm doing that is wrong.??
Am i a crook and don't know it.?
Your not doing anything wrong. The person streaming the game without RDS's premission is doing something wrong.
Even thats somewhat debatable depending on how you look at the copyright act.
Thanks!
Feels great to win 11 in a row against the bruins.
Yes we're a game away from guaranteeing a spot in the playoffs (I just can't believe my eyes when I see Mtl in #1 spot in the paper).
For all the folks who may need to watch Habs games and not have access for any reason, RDS is going to broadcast ALL Habs games ONLINE from their website starting tomorrow March 24th.
Cheers,
Ali B.
but theyre gonna charge 3$ a game
Great news, can you help us Anglophiles on where to find the link on the RDS site. Thanks.
TripleX, the following link should lead you to the info/sign-up page for the online broadcasts:
http://www.rds.ca/zonedematch/
It's 2.99$ per game, or 27.99$ for all remaining regular season games, plus any/all playoff games.
If you'd like to sign-up, click on "Je m'abonne" (I subscribe), then pick your preferred option (single game or all games).
Hope the rest is fairly straightforward!
Thanks, just signed up. Ready for the playoffs...woohoo!
I get RDS on (justin.tv/habstv)
IAN
All I have to say is YUCK.
I don't think RDS will look too kindly on justintv btw
" Give the Habs a 5 minute standing ovation at the end of the last game of the season against the Leafs (winning OR losing)"
"Are the Habs ready to pay the Price?"
Teach-- what do you mean Yuck? I get it there and it is free when I can't see it on TV.
I mean YUCK to RDS for charging that much to see a game online.
"Give the Habs a 5 minute standing ovation at the end of the last game of the season against the Leafs (winning OR losing)"
"Are the Habs ready to pay the Price?"
So do I... thats why I was wondering about the broadcast quality.
Is this true about RDS? And is it free?
http://www.rds.ca/zonedematch/
No it's not free. $2.99 for one game or $27.99 for all the games from March 24 until the end.
Thanks for that info!
Hmm... hard to deciede if the price is right since I don't know what their stream quality is.
I decided to take the plunge for tomorrow's game, just to see what the quality is like. I am hoping the CBC will have the Habs covered come playoff time, so I wouldn't need the online RDS feed...
CBC covers all canadian teams in playoff's... pretty sure.
I was wondering, though, how the regional coverage might play out. If the Habs and Sens are playing on the same night, who gets to see whom, right? Being out West, I'm not sure who would get the coverage here...
You can chose what game you want to see on their website (streams).
5 points up on Ottawa, who woulda thunk it?
If we beat them 1 out of the 2 games, we pretty much solidify our hold on the NE crown.
Wow indeed!
What's unbelievable to me is that there isn't a single team in the east that has clinched a spot. It's madness.
True enough but it is hard to fathom 94 points not getting you in.
GO HABS.
Yeah, blame the farce.
I know what strep throat is...LOL
Ah, I get it. You were poking fun at his typo.

As a Habs fan in Toronto I would love to:
1)win the Stanley Cup
2)beat the Sens on Monday
3)destroy the Leafs on Saturday as I will be at the ACC with my son for his first NHL game
4)destroy the Leafs again in the season finale
...it would be sooooooo sweet!
