With a two point night, including the game-winning goal:

Ivan Demidov now has 51 points in 64 games, tied with Beckett Sennecke for the NHL rookie points lead

If you didn't, even though you did, I will. WOW!

Well, after Fowler's performance, I'm not sure we'll see Montembault again in a Habs uniform, barring injury.

Montreal wins in regulation. 3-2.

Fowler. OMG!

Carrier is not having his best game.

Looked like a missed call against Hutson. No matter. Ullmark with a juicy rebound on a Newhook shot. Demidov cashes. 3-2 Montreal.

Bolduc doing what he needs to do. Skate hard. Hit and be a pain in the ass, every shift.

That Mike Matheson (and Bolduc) Rona add is pretty funny.

Who would you take out?

Here is the opening paragraph of my COTW tonight......

Hierarchy is a concept that holds a lot of power in the locker room, but falls apart on the ice. Alexandre Texier simply cannot be in the press box watching inferior players try to hold on to the remaining hours of their career.

12.03.2026 01:41 πŸ‘ 73 πŸ” 9 πŸ’¬ 21 πŸ“Œ 2

Anderson’s sticks breaks like a bread stick.

12.03.2026 01:46 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Does anyone know how many shot attempts Montreal has tonight? I’m going to say a lot, because they are missing the net like crazy.

12.03.2026 01:44 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Fowler is 9-2-1 with 2.34 GAA and .913 SV% since returning to Laval. Not bad at all.

12.03.2026 01:42 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Fowler is doing his part tonight. It's pretty impressive considering he missed two weeks with a virus and only played one game in Laval before tonight.

Lane Hutson has extended his record for most points by a defenceman before playing 150 NHL games. He now has 117 assists, with one period and two games to add to it...

12.03.2026 01:31 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Montreal definitely grabbed the momentum back in the latter part of that period. 2-2 after 2.

Texier is credited with the goal. His 8th. His strong play tonight might force the coaching staff to have to make some difficult lineup decisions after tonight.

Another calm save by Fowler.

12.03.2026 01:19 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

The goal overshadowed Fowler’s big save on Amadio’s breakaway!

Habs knock one in and we’re tied at 2-2. Texier or Struble?

12.03.2026 01:16 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Struble tried to make a breakout pass and almost gave it away. Then he gets the puck right back and just flips it out to centre right back to Ottawa. That is exactly why he isn’t in the lineup every night.

So many giveaways by Montreal tonight.

12.03.2026 01:12 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

That is exactly what Bolduc needs to do and keep doing.

12.03.2026 01:08 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Glass half full take: It’s still only 2-1.
