Coming off a superb performance on Tuesday night, Montreal followed it up by one of the worst games of the season. What is it going to take to get the message through their thick heads? This was Montreal's game to lose. The Bruins returned to Boston at 3:45AM this morning after a long game going to a shootout in Chicago which left many Habs fans asking the simple question: How on earth did we lose?
The Bruins played the game plan to perfection: Get a big lead early, and defend it. And that is exactly what they did. S.Thornton, S.Yelle and M.Sturm scored to put the Bruins up 3-0 at the end of the first.
A couple of penalties were taken by Bouillon and Price at the beginning of the second. Boston capitalized from a goal from Sturm. It took the Canadiens 13:34 to record a shot in the period, which Koivu scored on.
There is not much else to say in the game. Yelle scored his second of the night in the third period.
Komisarek's head was up in the clouds on the first goal and frankly, for the entire game. He made wayward passes, got beaten to the puck and even lost a scrap to Milan Lucic. Carey Price was far from the shutout performance from last night allowing 6 goals in 31 shots. The only positive thing about the night was the fourth line (Dandenault-Lapierre-Laraque). These guys were the only ones working their butts off. As they say on RDS, Chapeaux a eux.
The coaching staff has done their part, now it's time for someone to step up in the dressing room. Koivu's going to have to slap all of these guys across the face for Carbonneau a second time around. A 6-1 loss to the Bruins, having gone 12-0-0 against them is just as embarrassing as losing to the Buds.
