An excerpt from TSN’s game review of the Canadiens 4-3 shootout victory over the Bruins.
If you read further into the TSN article, you’ll read some interesting quotes from Bruins tough guy Shawn Thornton concerning his fight with Georges Laraque:

Alex Tanguay found a perfect way to get in the good books with his new Montreal teammates, and he helped the Canadiens open the home schedule of their 100th season with a win in the process.

Tanguay scored the lone goal in shootout to give the Canadiens a 4-3 win Wednesday night after they allowed the Boston Bruins to come back from a three-goal deficit.

“It was good timing,” said Tanguay, who came over from the Calgary Flames in a draft-day trade. “I’m still nervous, still trying to find my way on the team, trying to get in the groove. But that will come with time, I’m usually a guy who has slow starts.”

Alex Kovalev, Saku Koivu and Maxim Lapierre scored in a span of just over three minutes in the first period for the Canadiens (3-0-1), who registered their 12th straight regular season victory over their Original Six rivals.

Marc Savard scored twice, including the equalizer with 48 seconds left in regulation, and David Krejci added a goal and an assist for the Bruins (1-1-1).
