It was six years ago today that I saw my very first-ever Habs game in person, as they took on and lost to the Vancouver Canucks. The only real highlights of that game which stick in my memory is the Canucks having a 3-on-0 against Jose Theodore and failing to get a shot on goal, and the Habs drawing first blood and me high-fiving just about everybody in my section around me!

Tonight, however, it's a much different task at hand. The bleu, blanc, rouge have to overcome a bunch of injuries to face a tough Devils team that is faring quite well, thank you very much, in the absence of all-world goaltender Martin Brodeur. It's always a tough match-up in the swamp for the Habs, so here's looking forward to a good game and extending the winning streak to 4!

Tonight's a big night for one young Montreal Canadiens prospect. Max Pacioretty will make his NHL regular season debut, playing on a line with Kyle Chipchura and Steve Begin. I've already sent an email to UD asking whether it's still possible for Max Pacho to be eligible for inclusion in Artifacts or UD2. Here's hoping!

Wow, that game wasn't boring... that was one of my favourite games of the year! Nothing like seeing Elias make a RIDICULOUS pass to Parise in OT.

It is all a matter of perspective! :)

GO DEVILS!!! SMOKE THESE GUYS!!!

lol, or that you're used to Devils hockey. The only time I watch them is when they play the Pens or Rags. They seem to play wide open then.

I'll post a more realistic score after the game:D
 
Pacioretty with his first goal. Thank god he doesn't have a RC yet otherwise eBay's servers would collapse
 
Liking it after 2... or are you guys asleep already? lol!

That crowd looks like its pretty rockin', nice to know that the Devils can push around the East all-stars...

The Clarkson fight was epic, what a throwdown at the end.

PS: ilu Marty, go rehab go!
 
dude I'm trying not to fall asleep. The fight was Epic... for Clarkson. Kostopoulos is an awful fighter. I don't think he's won one this season, but at least he drops 'em.

The rest of the game is a snooze fest.

NJ fans are into it but on TV it sounds like they're trying to silence the Habs fans... and since they got a 2 goal lead they've done a good job.

Wow is Chico Resch awful. How do you guys put up with him 82+ times a year?

Chico is BRUTAL! What we're REALLY missing here tonight is Doc Emrick to shut him up...

YES THEY JUST SHOWED MARTY!!!!!!! WOOOOO!!!

Also, I had absolutely no idea Denis was still playing.
 
I don't think anyone is watching this game anymore. But I'll stick around for ya :)

Halak=barf tonight.

NJ= Way better than barf

I was really hoping for the Canadiens to come back. Imagine Steve and Chico talking about the points they are going to get before the third even started.

Anyway, it was a great game to watch.

HALAK= BARF Tonight.
 
LOL yeah it is kind of my own GDT since the peanut gallery took off...

There's Clemmer, first star... good stuff.

Montreal really didn't have any options in net without price... I mean imagine if Denis had started... did you see how he handled the first shot of the 3rd?

Go Devils! ROCK Ottawa on Sunday!
 
Brutal game. Most of our forwards that aren't rookies looked disinterested, maybe hung over from NYE.

I liked Chipchura and hope he sticks. Max Pac was good too. Great hustle and fight in him
 
good call shane, I had a tough decision tonight start Halak, Mason or Legacy, I opted for Mason and he finally let in a goal it only took him 199 minutes and 28 seconds what a bum LOL
