all over the ice before taking the bait — and a second consecutive penalty for trying to rough him up.The two had served coincidental minors just before that and they were running their mouths at each other for the entire two minutes. When they came out, a fight seemed imminent, but Lemieux turtled when Pezzetta challenged him and the rest of hisThey were trailing 2-1 with just over 12 minutes to play and Pezzetta looking on from across them.
The Canadiens took a penalty and were outshot 8-0 over the final seven minutes of the middle frame. As coach Dominique Ducharme put it, there was as much to take out of that sequence as there was the way they played after Romanov rocked Kupari. At least the Canadiens took a step in that direction with that sequence. At least they have some tape to review what it looks like when they push as hard as they should.
EricEngels Not playing Ottawa and the Canucks every second night is more challenging than the Habs remember.

EricEngels You can see exactly what’s wrong with the Habs in the OT replay. King went around forward on 3 on 3 and Petry just stood there watching instead of taking 3 steps to help cut off the path to Allen.
EricEngels The Habs showed lots of speed and skill last night.
EricEngels They need more
EricEngels Based on this *VERY* specific game (they played hard, climbed back, earned 1⃣ point less than 2⃣ - so what!), i shall now only perceive Habs within a global context -- the Full Season in 6⃣ sharp chunks of 11 games each. With this mojoyo in mind...
EricEngels Sure...but.. they never show up for the second period. Wth is this about? 2nd has been a killer all season... And tonight was no exception, 5 shots only. Can't get 60 mins out of this team for some reason.
