Habs Get Their Revenge Against Leafs

Canadiens Win 6-2 Versus Maple Leafs



After getting humiliated by the Leafs at the Bell Center 5-2 two weeks ago, the Habs get their revenge by crushing them back on their home ice 6-2 at the Air Canada Center. Another easy win for the Habs as they gained yet another 2 important points in the standings.

Alex Kovalev played a great game by obtaining 1 goal and 3 assists for a total of 4 pts. He scored the first goal on the Powerplay which allowed the Habs to get the momentum of the game. A very accurate shot in the top right corner. Awesome precision! Gerber didn't have the chance to see anything because of a screen from his own players.

Latendresse and Lapierre played a very excellent game, not only do they give energy to the team, but also contribute offensively by scoring 2 goals for the Habs. Guillaume with his 14th of the season off a juicy rebound in the slot and Maxim with a nice pass by Guillaume. It seems like Latendresse will ended up the season with 16 goals again like the other two seasons despite the games he has missed this year. Lapierre is also very impressive with his 15th goal of the season. Who would think he would ever score more than 10 per season?

Saku and the other Alex also did very well by showing great chemistry on the 3rd goal of the Habs. What a nice pass to the slot for an easy tip in. This was really the goal that put the game out of reach for the Leafs.

I have say though, I do believe that on the 4th goal, Plekanec should've been penalized and it shouldn't have counted. But hey, we'll take all the goals we can get right?

The 4th line has also played another solid game, and Big George even had a great chance to score his first goal in the Habs uniform, but Gerber made a great save. Oh and how about that fight Laraque got into? :D Poor kid who got his face crushed...that was really a direct blow in the face. Ouch!

The Habs will be playing tonight against the Ottawa Senators at the Bell Center. We will only need 3 points on a possibility of 8 to assure a spot to the playoffs. That is assuming that the Rangers and the Panthers wins all their three games. If they don't, well we might need less than 3 points to make the playoffs. On the other hand, I prefer looking in front of us and say that we are only 1 point away from the Pens 6th spot and 3 away from the 4th spot. The standings are so close that the 4th position is still attainable mathematically. So we never know, everything is possible! On this, good game tonight Habs fans!
