Scores First Goal As Sabres Beat Leafs In Shootout — Evander Kane News

“Honestly, I haven’t mentioned it to the players and I haven’t heard them talk about it once”, Therrien said Monday, of his club’s franchise record nine-win start to the 2015-16 National Hockey League season, all regulation victories.

Price has started seven of Montreal’s opening nine games, posting a 7-0-0 record (1.29 GAA, .961 SV%, 2 SO) to equal the longest personal winning streak of his career last accomplished from November 19 – December 7, 2013. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: all we’ve accomplished is to have a good start to the season, and that’s it”. “[It’s] as simple as that”. “It’s another challenge for us [Saturday], and we realize that; that every game it’s only going to get tougher for us. Because of that we did a few mental mistakes that usually we don’t do”. The Canadiens had exhausted legs having played the night before in Buffalo.

“We haven’t accomplished anything yet”, insists Habs’ relentless forward Brendan Gallagher, the former Vancouver Giants bulldog.

Nevertheless, Petry has become a beast this season, elevating the Habs’ impressive shot attempt percentage without him on the ice from 50.2% to 57.9% with him, their scoring chances from 48.9% to 58.3% and their high-danger scoring chances from 50.0% to 54.5%.

The line of James van Riemsdyk, Nazem Kadri, and Leo Komarov got absolutely buried, while the Leafs’ best player of the period was easily Rielly.

Komarov got it back at 2:37 from in front to score after van Riemsdyk deflected Scott Harrison’s point shot off Price. It was a backbreaking goal to allow.

“It’s a hard night for [Bernier] because the other guy stood on his head, right”, said Leafs coach Mike Babcock.

No one in the media scrum was nodding in agreement.

On another note, fellow teammate Chad Johnson had an outstanding performance, especially during the shootout where he made 23 saves.

Boone Jenner had two goals, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 31 saves for the Blue Jackets.

Surely, Bernier will appreciate the support from his coach.

“Maybe, I just got lucky today”, Markov said after finishing with a goal and four assists.

This is because points are a bad way to evaluate a player. “We don’t have time to sit and feel sorry for ourselves”. Their 308 goals that season are still the third most since 2005-06.

The Buffalo Sabres went 1/4 on the power play tonight, with O’Reilly scoring the lone goal with the man advantage for his second goal of the season. “But we’ve got Carey Price in net and he gave us an opportunity to win the game”.

Defenseman Matt Dumba, left winger Thomas Vanek and center Ryan Carter scored for Minnesota (5-1-1), which had lost 10 of its previous 11 games to the Ducks. Right now, he feels like he’s thinking too much while killing penalties and not relying enough on his instincts.

“(Our special teams) have to be better”, Rielly said.

Then a year into a four-year, $18-million USA contract, Burrows would have been untradeable.

Instead, Parenteau only managed one shot on net-a floater on the power play-and finished minus-2. Fighting for the puck was done well by both the Habs and the Leafs but with the score still 5-3, Toronto had reason to pick up the pace.

He took a hit from Montreal’s Dale Weise. The frustrating losses they have been facing on home ice are going to make a meaner product come game time, and this is a Vancouver club that has the potential to rise to the occasion when labeled as the underdog.
