A short note just to say “Wow”!
The overtime win over Philly was a sweet game, could the turning point be at hand for us for this season?
Heading into this week I wondered, likely like most of you, how many points would we get from the trio of games against Vancouver, Philadelphia and San Jose tonight. I thought four of six points would be a success but why not go for six!
I still believe Price is our goalie of the future but you need to ride the hot hand and Jaroslav Halak is delivering the goods, keep riding him Carbo!
The beauty of that overtime goal last night was that it was a four-on-three powerplay that turned into a three-on-three (a Hab player skated off the ice to get a new stick) and Schneider snapped a sweet feed from Kovalev home for the win.
Besides the wicked OT winner, scoring three goals in two minutes and 17 seconds to climb out of a 2-0 hole in the first showed a pile of character. Sure, some of the goals were due to weak goaltending BUT you need to be good to be lucky and you need to work for the breaks- which the Habs just did.
Let’s cross fingers for the Sharks tonight and see if we can spear them.
