4-3 loss, after the Bruins blow a 2-0 lead. They very nearly got the tying goal in the last seconds despite Montreal having a 2-man advantage. Fun game though. So what did we learn?
1. Thank God for Nick Boynton and Andrew Raycroft.
By the third period, the Habs forwards (Kovalev, Koivu, Perezhogin, and Ribeiro the Injury-Faking Scumbag Pussy) were just blowing by every defenseman not named Boynton. And you can't blame a goalie who gives up four goals but stopped 34 shots nonetheless. That's on the defensemen, though the rampant power plays don't make holding a lead any easier.
2. Patrice Bergeron will score 40 goals.
On a 5-3 power play, he blew by all 3, deked Jose Theodore, and lost the puck.
3. Mike Ribeiro is an injury-faking, diving, wolf-crying piece of shit pussy asshole.
OK, so we didn't learn that, we merely remembered it. I hope he gets Steve Moored by somebody.
4. Jose Theodore is The Man.
Good lord. I forget who it was that he robbed in the 3rd period, but it was incredible. Knocked the puck out of the air and sent it behind the net. I wish I could remember who it was.
5. Brad Isbister has come to play.
That's good, because he's a big dude who can play on the scoring line or the checking line and still be effective. With Samsonov installed up front, and P.J. "Goal-A-Game" Axelsson lighting it up, he'll have to be satisfied on the #3 line with Scatchard and McEachern/Fitzgerald.
6. The NHL is much, much better.
Rangers/Panthers last night, and Bruins/Habs tonight, were both excellent, excellent games. How can a 4-0 victory be excellent? Because we saw some goals, that's why. That same fun-filled 4-0 game would have been a 1-0 snoozefest in 2003.

Watched both games. Fun stuff. Watched last night's only for about half.
Axelsson stood out- that dude's got some tars on im. Oh, and a vintage Leetch cherry-pick goal. Brings back old times. My inspiration at lame ducks back in the day.
Oh, and OLN hiring the immortal John Davidson was a stroke of genius. I've been watching him do Rangers games for MSG for a decade or so now, and he's simply the best in the business. Consider him the anti-McCarver.
