Sure we let 1 point slip away from us last night by losing in the shootout against the Buffalo Sabres, we could have taken the them out of the race for a playoff spot, we could have joined the New York Rangers at the 7th position. But we tend to forget that it could have been much worse, we could've lost in regulation and not have any point at all in the standings. We were losing 2-0 at one point of the game. Good thing the Habs kept playing hard and didn't give up.
Christopher Higgins scored a nice goal with his wrist shot in the top left corner. He got the team back into the game with that goal. I don't know what happened to him, ever since he is playing on the 4th line with Metropolit and Dandenault, we see the old Christopher Higgins from last year again. He is more intense on the puck, he plays more physical and protects the puck very well.
Saku Koivu is also on fire lately with Tanguay and Kovalev. He made a nice play around the net to give the Habs the tying goal. Even though the goal was credited to Kovalev, I still think Koivu deserved the goal, Kovalev barely touched it. Anyways, it doesn't matter much, the important thing is a tying goal for the team.
And the third goal, awesome play by Mathieu Schneider to fake the shot and pass to Kovy right beside the net. The powerplay is back and producing again! Nice move by Bob Gainey. Let's hope they keep it up.
It is just too bad that in the 3rd period, the Canadiens started to play on their heels, protecting a 3-2 lead at the beginning of the 3rd isn't the way to go. Carey Price played a solid 3rd period and also in the shootout. I was surprised he was able to stop that many players 1 on 1. Remember last time when he let in 3/3 in the shootout? Yeah...I had that in mind. He did good, gave us a chance to win, if only plekanec's shot didn't hit the post. Oh well...
We are 1 pts from the Rangers with 1 game in hand, similarly we are also 1 pts ahead of the Panthers with 1 game in hand. The situation isn't that bad, we got 5 pts out of a possibility of 6. We'll have the opportunity to get back at it on Tuesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. I expect an exciting and fast skating game.
