Does it worry any other Habs fans that only one goal has been scored on Lundqvist that wasn’t some sort of ‘magic puck’ bounce? ---

> [@Ike\_Witt](#): > > Does it worry any other Habs fans that only one goal has been scored on Lundqvist that wasn’t some sort of ‘magic puck’ bounce? Yes. If you take yesterday’s first period, I think that young Dustin did fine and there’s no shame in letting in 1 of 14 shots, especially when Gorges is running you over while you’re being shot at. What is far more worrisome is that during that same period, \*le Canadien \*got only 4 shots in on Lundqvist. It’s been going similarly in the other games against the Rangers. The focus has been on losing Price as an obstacle to beating the Rangers, but at this point I think the failure to get some shots in is a larger problems for the Habs. Lundqvist is a great goalie as it is, but if they’re not even going to test him then they’re not going to go very far. ---

And here we go. Game 4 Habs vs. Rangers. I have the Rangers in my pool. I won’t be upset if Tokarski and the Canadiens win tonight though. Please no shitty calls. ---

Barry Trotz named coach of the Washington Capitals. This will not end well. Trotz + Ovechkin will end up with Ovi in the KHL or Barry in an insane asylum. ---

That game was insane. Lundqvist looked awful and the dirty play was too much. John Moore should be looking at at least 5 games for his late hit that targeted the head. And Dorsett shows a complete lack of class by spraying snow on the kid at the start of the game and then tops it off with a headbutt at the end of the game. ---

Not sure what you’re talking about. That was a good clean hockey hit. I’m certain Therrien would agree. ---
