Vancouver Canucks at Montreal Canadiens, Feb 24, 2009 4:30 PM PST
2:40 PM ET Update: We forgot to mention tonight is also a homecoming for Bernier and Bolduc, both from Quebec. In honor of the event, expect Bolduc to challenge Laraque and Bernier to miss an open net no less than 10 times before Vigneault buries his foot in his ass.
Game Stats Update (via canucks.com)
- The Canadiens are 8-4-1 against the West this season
- Vancouver is 20-2-2 in games they score four goals or more goals
- This is the 112th meeting between the two teams with Montreal the holding a strong historical edge at 27-71-13.
Random Notes
- Look for Burrows and Luongo to put on a show in front of their home city.
- As Sean noted below, look for Alex Kovalev to remain relevant for a second straight game.
- For notes from the other end, visit Eyes On The Prize. If you feel brave, try Habs Inside/Out too.
Montreal's centennial season is turning into a bit of a gongshow.
- 3 wins in 11 games in February.
- 4 wins in their last 16 games.
- The complete meltdown of Carey Price as a starting goalie, and the general lack of success of both he and Jaroslav Halak. It appears Halak will start against the Canucks, as Guy Carbonneau said today that he will go with the goalie that gets wins or has the "hot hands".
- Alex Kovalev has mental issues and is sent home from a road trip by Bob Gainey. This story has a happy ending for now, as Kovalev has said that the break did him a world of good. Well, he did get 3 points in his first game back in a Habs win over the Senators on Saturday. He may be a major force against the Canucks.
- Ah, and then the Kostitsyn Brothers and Roman Hamrlik are reportedly linked to a druggie/crime suspect. I don't even know what is happening with that scenario except that the League and Bob Gainey are "dealing with it".
So many distractions for a Canadiens team that doesn't need distractions. They are sliding down the Eastern Conference standings, once at/near the top, now in 5th spot, only 2 points up on 9th place Carolina.
Saku Koivu missed practice on Monday due to the flu.
No Francis Bouillion, who has a groin injury.
Oh yes, the Habs did acquire Mathieu Schneider since we played them last.
The Canucks are the exact opposite.
-No distractions.
-Luongo is looking like his normal self again (just close your damned 5-hole at key times in the game, Louie! Jeezus!)
-They've won 8 of 9 games in a masterful month of February.
-These times are gold, and you can see it in the players' faces, here and here.
It couldn't be better timing for Francophone Alex Burrows to stroll into Montreal, with a rumored 70 friends in attendance. He has 7 points in his last 4 games, and Vigneault is looking like a genius for putting him with the Sedins. (admit it, Yankee!)
It's another early game: 4:30 PST, and it's on Sportsnet Pacific.
It's tough to bet against the Canucks lately isn't it? They had better play a more sound game than they did in Toronto. Maybe Sundin is over his illness and can play better as well. A shootout winning goal against your former team doesn't get you off the hook does it?

Me admit it? No no, you admit it.
I’d put Rod Blagojevich with the Sedins right now if they scored regularly (plus, you know, that fantastic mop). So as long as Burrows is clicking don’t move him.

Funny thing, Halak is coming off another stellar performance where he face a ton of shots in a win as he plays the Canucks. Didn’t work so well for him last time.
Kovalev is concerning me though. Nah, we’ll just shut him down.
3-1 Canucks.

I'm feeling a little more optimistic about the game,
so I’m going to revisit my prediction
6-0 Habs. We won’t even score a goal. :-)
The Habs are my second favorite team, but they are so stinky right now. A Canuck loss tonight would be a bit demoralized, and a win would be fantastic. I’m trying not to get my hopes up.
GZ: Ya poor sonofagun. Things will never change until you convert the local population (especially your immediate co-workers and clients) to the joys of NHL.

To me, it won’t be all that demoralizing if we lose. We’ve won 8 of 9. If this was January I’d have a bottle in one hand and a gun in the other.

I’m unsure about tonight. IF the Nucks won, they would join the ranks of the super-hot, especially with the Lightning waiting. I’m hopin for a win, but its gonna either be a big-time loss (5-2) or big-win (6-2). Either way its gonna be big.
Nucks better sign up Burr also, I could see Montreal makin a pitch for him in the summer to toughen up there pansy-assed lineup…
by Nuckels on Feb 24, 2009 4:28 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
I think the Habs are tightening down. Canucks will win, but it could be another close one or even into OT.
Let’s try a 4-2 prediction, similar to the Sens game.

These early games SUCK! I will get called back to work at any given moment. We’ll see.
Hard to believe the Habs have only lost 6 games in regulation at home this year. But with Luongo playing in his home province, I expect great things from him tonight

a bit late...
A bit late to the party, but I have no idea why anyone would bother watching a basketball game for more than the last 5min. And even then all you have to do is check the math to see who will most likely win.
After getting used to hockey I can’t watch any other team sport… everything else is too slow, too boring, too lame.
Watching:
Hockey > Individual sports involving snow > National team games (if I’m bored) > individual sports with girls in skimpy outfits (only if I’m deadly bored) > other sports… um no, that’s why we have internet and torrent TV series.
Reading about:
Hockey>Sports that involve snow>Footie>Baseball>Basketball>Football

Golf is the worst. I cannot understand how anyone burns lean tissue sitting down on the couch watching that on the TV.

Another thing i don’t like about football is that they don’t do series’. Imagine a 7 game series in football, that would be intense.
by Linix129 on Feb 24, 2009 5:34 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Way, although high school and college football are okay, pro football is like watching golf.

You’d be surprised what a slap on the wrist can do, it can fuck up your shot easy.
Believe me, I used to play.

This game has all the makings of a clean loss. One of those" couldnt bury our chances and they did" type of cliches
by Nuckels on Feb 24, 2009 5:41 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
came out hard and tried to stick to our game plan, but they got the bounces and we didn’t play a full 60 minutes.
by Temujin on Feb 24, 2009 5:43 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Not a shot yet, great. Thats can only mean a 80 footer 5-hole on Lou.

It's clear to me that
if we are going to get one, it’s going to be a third line grind goal. Or maybe some kind of tip-in.
But the big guns are playing too frilly and aren’t finishing.

Oh no, he’s bleeding. Burrows gets a major penalty. 5 minute major. OH NO!!

Blanca was the best, and I think with a little practice. i would still be unbeatable :), now if nothing else. I want to see a E honda 100 hand slapdown on Kovalev or some other Montreal turd

Yeah, I dunno about this one
But if we can snag a cheap on, we might get in Halak’s head. This Habs team is one move away from collapse. So who knows?
by Temujin on Feb 24, 2009 6:24 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
absolutely, a shutout for Halak is totally unacceptable

This could be worse. It could be a division rival.
But I’d never give up on the Canucks..not even tonight.
I want to bag on the RPM line, but I haven’t been impressed with any of the lines tonight.

jesus H
this is astronomically frustrating.
Sundin wins the draw cleanly and no shot on goal
by Temujin on Feb 24, 2009 6:58 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
This is the kind of game they’d win if Luongo could steal the first period. Gives them time to get going… if the slow start problem is due to the travel/environment. If it’s all mental and they can’t get going until they’ve played pattycake for 40min I don’t know exactly what you can do except put them on the ice for 40min before the game starts.
by rsm on Feb 24, 2009 6:58 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
travel ain't an excuse this time
they’ve been in Montreal two days now.
It’s so silly. This Habs team was on the ropes and we couldn’t take advantage.
by Temujin on Feb 24, 2009 6:59 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I just can’t blame Luongo at all for this loss
by Sean Zandberg on Feb 24, 2009 6:59 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
yeah, me neither. What could he have done differently?
The breakaway was a golden shot, and he was saving our ass for almost the entire 5 min PP
by Temujin on Feb 24, 2009 7:00 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I’m not blaming. That is squarely on the PP… 5 on 3 for 2min… gah!
I said steal, which is what Halak and Brisebois did.
by rsm on Feb 24, 2009 7:02 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Its not Lous fault on the ice tonight. The captain of the Nucks should have done a better job gettin em up for this one though
by Nuckels on Feb 24, 2009 7:00 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Fair enough. 16 or 17 shots and 2 goals VS 36 or whatever and 0 is not good to me.
by Nuckels on Feb 24, 2009 7:03 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
40 shots is evidence of getting up for the game
but Sundin sucked a dick tonight, Demitra had several chances, and no one else had any finish.
