GAMEDAY: All Habs Headlines

Confidence Shaken: 

“Obviously we need to be winning some shootouts. Davy [David Desharnais] made a good move there and scored and I just tried to be patient on Stammer [Steven Stamkos] and wait him out. At the end of the day, we gave up the lead but the game wasn’t lost yet and we managed to stay focused and won.”

“Obviously that wasn’t the way we wanted to win the game. Seeing those goals go in, especially that third one was tough, but we stayed strong. It goes off me in front, then it’s going wide but then it goes off Raph [Raphael Diaz] on the side and, there was nothing Pricey could do on any three of those goals.”

“We need contribution from everyone if we’re going to win. We spoke about that before the game. They all showed up and played well and it’s what allowed us walk away with the win. They did great work tonight and I’m very happy with the effort they put in. They killed off several penalties over the course of that game. That’s how we decided to use their line tonight and they delivered. Not only that, but they generated offense as well. It was a big plus for us.”

Tomas “The Passer” Plekanec leads the Habs in scoring:

“The Kids” are doing well, but with this ice-time, expect regression:
