The Bruins were 20 minutes away from victory on Saturday, but the Canadiens rallied for three goals in the third period – including the go-ahead tally with 1:08 remaining and an empty-netter 20 seconds later. “The disappointing part is it’s coming from our leaders”. If you’re going to go in the right direction, it’s important that our leaders lead the way the right way. Eller was the only active skater in Montreal’s lineup Saturday to be on the minus side of plus-minus. The other is a player who already does.
“Stupid penalty”, Krejci said.

“We’re getting good looks and making plays”, said Weise. Now I’ve got to live with that. Okposo has 10 points (3g, 7a) in his last five skates vs. the Bruins.
Much like Zboril, Heinen was a slow starter this season registering just two points in his first four games.
November 2003 marked the first time the NHL tried the novel idea of attempting to stage professional hockey games in outdoor stadiums with the Heritage Classic, played between the Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers. “The biggest thing would be probably the discipline part of it that really hurt us”. The B’s fell apart last season and their down fall continued in the off season as Milan Lucic moved on to California and while they still have a ton of pieces in place I think their aging core is a bit of an issue and we could see this group blown up by season’s end if they can’t turn it around.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Cody Hodgson scored the tiebreaking goal late in the third period to lift the Nashville Predators over Minnesota 3-2 on Thursday night after Wild star Zach Parise was injured. With help from teammate Collin Miller, the 21 year old center scored his first of his career on a wrister to give the Bruins the lead.
Even the most anti-Habs fan has to be impressed by the start of the team and Mike Condon this season. Left winger Tomas Fleischmann picked up the loose puck and took advantage of a sliding Nick Leddy before feeding Desharnais with a cross-ice pass from the goal line.
Montreal Canadiens’ David Desharnais (51) celebrates his goal against the Boston Bruins with tea … The event proved to be a huge success and inspired the 2008 Winter Classic series, which at first focused on American teams, and then included the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2014.

Krejci looked on as Desharnais scored the game-winner. Eller then popped it past Gustavsson for the game-tying strike. “When you do something stupid, you let everyone down”. Not a very good feeling. “Things like that shouldn’t happen, especially players that they’ve been in the league a long time”.
