OAKVILLE, ON.– Today I decided to do something different. Social media has changed the way fans connect to the world of hockey. Sites like Twitter have brought fans who love the sport together to talk and interact with other people, fans and teams. You can follow me and every contributor to All Habs.
So I bring you… Tonight’s game in the eyes of Twitter!

1st Goal: @Saraa26 – COLE!!! See, he ain’t that bad on the PP!
1st Goal: @stevofarnham – Remember when Jacques Martin was totally rude to that reporter for asking why Erik Cole was NOT playing on the power play? YEAH… #habs
1st Period: @Kyleroussel – I wonder if goalies get transfixed with some of the awful mustaches that they have to stare at out there?
Weber Penalty: @NYDNRangers – Brandon Prust with a great shift, as he, Christensen and Deveaux help earn a Rangers power play down 1-0 with 12:35 to play
Weber Penalty: @ArponBasu – With that penalty kill the #Habs are 29 for their last 29, dating back to first goal by #Rangers at MSG on Nov. 5
1st Period: @HabsCoachK – #JMNotebook – This game is moving too fast for me. I can’t keep up. #gohabsgo
1st Period: @All_Habs – Shots are 10-4 for the #Habs. Erik Cole has 3 SOG already. #allhabs #gohabsgo
1st Period: @Hockeyguy_Chris – #NYR should take notes from the #Habs on how to work a PP
1st Intermission: Occasions de marquer: #canadiens 7 (3 Cole-2 Cammalleri) #rangers 2
1st Intermission: @All_Habs – Shots were 11-5 for MTL in the first period. #Habs lead 1-0 #gohabsgo #rangers #allhabs

2nd Period: @NYDNRangers – Callahan takes a silly elbowing penalty on Josh Gorges at the offensive blue line. Another Canadiens PP. Habs are just throwing puck at net
2nd Period: @NickKrapf – Scott Gomez hasnt scored in 880 mins. Like wow over 1,000 shifts.
2nd Period: @SimServ92 – Gomez with a sweet move there. We have to tweet about his good plays once in a while… #Habs
2nd Period: @StevenEllisNHL – @SimServ92 if thats the case, we dont need to tweet often
2nd Period: @MTLCanadiensTV – Hey @BizNasty2point0 you now have more goals this year than Scott Gomez, a Stanley cup champ, how does it feel 2 get the monkey off ur back?

2nd Period: @StevenHindle – Despite up and down play & injuries, I have been very impressed with #Habs ability to show up almost each and every night so far.
Gorges Penalty: @HabsCoachK – Gorges called for hooking. #NYR still with no shots on the PP. #gohabsgo
Gorges Penalty: @StevenHindle – Del Zotto’s single axel neutralized a possible #Rangers 5 on 3…not a smart decision on his part.
Del Zotto Penalty: @Habschick66 – And the Russian judge says….9.5 for that dive.

3rd Period: @Vinayd91 – Gomez can’t buy a goal even if it was free
3rd Period: @StevenEllisNHL – Montreal should sign me. I have the same amount of goals as Gomez and I’m $7,357,143 cheaper.
3rd Period: @Stevofarnham – Headline, “Will Scott Gomez ever score another goal again, like, ever?”
3rd Period: @hefteronhabs – That’s one way to get Gomez to go to the net. Throw his stick into the net. #Habs

So that’s it. I know I enjoyed the Habs 4-0 win over the Rangers. Gomez played great, despite the tweets that may make you think otherwise.
