Markov ruined the regulation loss. Buffalo was poised to score an empty netter, but he disrupted the puck carrier and actually turn the tide in our favor. Now, that's what I'm talkin' about when I talk about real deal defensemen.
This. And he played well overall. Made plenty of nice passes. Really encouraging.
Still in the 3rd slot. Teams win their games in hand tomorrow and we have a 3-4 point cushion on most of them.
We looked pretty bad for most of the game. Erik Cole won't keep scoring every night. We remain a 1 line team.
Non-tank perspective:
Markov is helping out offensively, but defensively he will cost us many goals as he shakes the rust off.
Could Rene Bourque care any less? I fully expect we learn that he wants out of town within a year. Dude is clearly not interested in being a part of this team and fighting for the cause, he probably thought he would be a Flame for a long time and would stay in his native Alberta.
Saw a lot more positive moments than negative moments from Markov, +/- aside.
I definitely doubted that he would be effective again, but it looks like he's gonna be perfectly fine. A solid Summer of conditioning will be great for him.

Good analysis. Glass half-full or half-empty for everyone.

Bourque is a lazy player but a lot of forwards have looked off under Cunneyworth. I'd rather have Kostitsyn but he was just as bad under RC. As long as he's not expected to be a top 6 forward I'd give him a chance under a real coach.
its called post game talk people. not tank talk. thats in a the tank talk thread. This is about the actual hockey game that was played not amateur mentalities like wanting your team to lose every game.

He also help buffalo turn the tide at one point in the game on that souray play!!
I really can't believe some ppl are upset that we tied the game up at the end, as a fan I want the Habs to get the best pick possible, but I can't believe "fans" actually root vs the team. The draft system allows you to move up 4 spots, IMO by rooting vs ur team, ur only bring bad karma.
