He was off to a good start this season before his injury.
Go Habs Go!

Canes 11 Day Lay Off Longest Since 1919-will they be rusty, or well rested?
Probably both! Too rested is like not enough sometimes.
Impressive Goal By Slafkovsky!
Je ne sais pas ce que ça augure pour le match deux mais c'est la quatrième fois que Brind'Amour mène les Hurricanes en finale de conférence, après trois éliminations en demi-finale de la LNH. La Caroline affiche désormais un bilan de 0 victoire et 7 défaites en match d'ouverture de finale de conférence. Les Hurricanes ont également perdu leurs dix derniers matchs à domicile en finale de conférence, la plus longue série de défaites à domicile à ce stade de la compétition dans l'histoire des séries éliminatoires de la Coupe Stanley.
Slavin Admits He Sucked (-4 rating), "Handed Them The Game"
Here is the overaggressiveness chasing the puck that leaves Caulfield alone in front of the net to score on an amazing pass from Slafkovsky, as discussed above:

No question about the player of the game- 2 goals and an amazing assist:
Although most empty net goal are easy stat gravy, this one by Slafkovsky was not, as he scored on two defenders who were trying to prevent him from scoring:
Unsung player of the game with 4 blocked shots and 3 hits:

It's so good to see so much offence from our top players in game 1! Slaf, Demidov, Caufield, Suzuki, all on fire! By times it looked like what they gave us in many regular season games. Add some Danault spice into the mix and there you go, 6-2 win in the first game of the Eastern Conference final.
Andersen was supposed to be on a cloud. I guess he was, so far. But he didn't look like a god at all last night.
We'll see on the long term if it helps them, but the whopping 12 days break certainly did not help the Canes last night. Habs are on a mission.
But......these damn goals against in the first minute, i'm so sick of it. Again last night, after 30 seconds......

The Canes will be back strong and tough for game #2! We should see a completely different team saturday night. Looking forward to it, we will have another amazing series!
The Hurricane warning has been sounded in Lenovo Center. We will see if the storm has any strength.
I heard Martin St. Louis interviewed between periods and this guy speaks excellent English. His accent is 99% imperceptible. This is a guy who was born and grew up in Laval. I do understand that he went to college in Vermont and lived in my home state of Connecticut for many years (having married an American woman from CT), but he really does well with the English language. Better than many other French Canadian players who have played in the U.S. If I didn't know who he was and ran into him in a bar, I wouldn't know he was from Canada. I hear CT, Anglo-English coming out of his mouth.

We got Hurricanned last night. This is their style. Like a bee hive, they move in group and do not give you a second to rest or think about your next move. But it stil ended in OT.
The follow-up games will be interesting. May the Bell Centre be a place of success in this series, we need it.

Getting outshot 26-12 is not really what you want. I don't understand why Montreal has been getting severely outshot in these playoffs and why they only put 12 shots on Freddy Anderson, who is not a great goalie.
Winning opportunistically is great, but I think it has a shelf life. In Montreal they need to generate more shots on goal and take 2 games.

Am I the only one that find the HABS a the small and light team ?
In the regular season it can work but in the séries it seems to doesn't.
What Caufield achieve in the series ? Not much. The Habs defencemen are surely the lightests in the league. The heaviest and toughest isn't even on the ice.
The other teams players don't fear at all to assault Dobes without consequences !
When you see shots are 26-12 and 38-13 in 2 straight games, there is a problem. Montreal's strength as a team is speed, but the opposite of speed is strength. In almost every sport there are tradeoffs between speed and strength and the trick is to find the ideal combination of both.
