One More For This Round

^{Fryday, 21 Goodenuf 2008}

Montreal Canadiens 1, Boston Bruins 0. First playoff shutout for rookie goaltender Carey Price, and first Habs shutout in the playoffs since 1986 - at least according to my recollections of the stat man's prattling right after the game. Amazingly, as usual in hockey games, none of the announcers mentioned the possibility of a shutout on air during the course of the entire game*.

This could all be over for the Bears On Beans after Thursday night's game at the Bell Centre. I certainly think that a couple of days of focusing on why the frelling power play hasn't been working might be in order, but Monseiur Carbonneau certainly has impressed me so far with his coaching skills, and I would not presume to provide him** with any advice.

Thanks for a good game, and hope you're able to get your glazzies in front of a teevee that has the game on Thursday night. Share and Enjoy!

* - I counted. Twice.

** - unlike [shudder] Mario Tremblay, whom I did not hesitate to inform, loudly and insistently, from the other side of the telly, that his coaching skills (or lack therof) left much to be desired as far as I was concerned.
