Bob Cole is a legend and a Hall of Famer et cetera, but he doesn't seem to know the names of the players all that well. Or maybe it's the way he calls the game now.

Either way, very early in the game McDavid got the puck and turned on the jets and it was obvious who it was, but Cole said "the Oilers on the attack" or something like that, instead of saying the player's name. He's done the same thing with the Habs a couple times.

Bla bla bla, that might be why we aren't hearing his name constantly. Connor sure gets a lot of play in the intermission though -- they are just now raving about his public speaking abilities.

I hate the Oilers.

He "nailed it"???

That sounded pretty awful to me.

[Beninho]

MTL's gameplan to score goals this game is to shoot low percentage shots and just wack away at Talbot praying it goes in

[Barnet Flame]

Montreal seem to think of the goalie crest as a bullseye.

[djsFlames]

Perimeter play and low quality shots left and right.

[Textcritic]

I am starting to think that the Canadiens are not actually all that interested in winning the game.

[Rejean31]

I think this an easy shutout for Talbot tonight.

[SOMBRI2]

I wonder what the Habs record has been since Julien was hired... (sorry too lazy to look up)

Where's Romanak when you need him?

[Beninho]

MTL does not have nearly enough players who can create chances by themselves. Radulov is the only one, Galchenyuk and Paciorrety need service or they can't do anything

[Textcritic]

No, Debrusk. The Canadiens have not been "excellent" at any point in this game.

I agree. Shut out, shutout, shut ouuuuuttttttt!

[calgaryblood]

This is the worst game I've watched all year. Just terrible uninspired hockey.

They had won 6 in row when they came to Calgary

[Beninho]

MTL gets the puck, immediate dump in

[Gaudfather]

Habs need to do a better job of getting in Talbot's kitchen - they don't park someone right in front of the net very often.

That's where the Flames get big contributions from guys like Ferland, Tkachuk and Bennett.

Just checked. 7-2 since Feb 14 hiring...

[Rejean31]

I think the Habs are drunk.

[Barnet Flame]

More MTL fans on the ice than in the crowd.
