Canadiens Win 4-1 Against the Blackhawks

Great game last night! The Habs played another excellent game. They were dominant for 60min. What can we say about Carey Price? Wow! Is he back or what? He was very solid and seems to have his confidence back. Now that's a relief. I was afraid that he won't be able to get his game together for the rest of the season.

Saku's line again played another good game producing two goals for the Habs last night. Kovalev has been scoring and Tanguay sees the ice very well. What a fine playmaker. Koivu has been very intense again, going in front of the net and paying the price to get a goal.

Plekanec line didn't do much in this game, but it wasn't his fault that both his wingers didn't even play the entire game. Sergei left the game with a upper body injury and Andrei got 4, 5 and 10 minutes of penalty. I am not surprised to see him defend his brother after that hit, but why did he only drop one of his gloves? He should have dropped both and throw some punches over...he needs to get some fighting lessons from Big George. I Hope this hit would wake Andrei up for the rest of the season and get ready for the playoffs.

Guillaume is getting more and more impressive. He is producing at a very good rate ever since his return from his injury, almost 1 point per game. Max and Tom are also doing very well throwing some bodies around.

Christopher Higgins is on a roll. I think he actually touched the puck on that last goal by Mathieu Schneider. He is really playing some great hockey on this defensive role that Bob Gainey has giving him. Metropolit and Dandenault also did a good job containing the opponent's best forwards. Dandenault also did pretty well in replacement to Hamrlik as a defenseman. I just hope that the injury isn't serious.

Like I said, great game by the Habs, 2 very important points that we picked up. Even more important knowing that the Panthers have also won their game. Next game the New York Islanders on Thursday.
