This is a partnership that simply doesn’t work.

Competitive game that simply didn’t work out. It happens over 82 games. Wilde Cards I want you to remember when I am long gone and you’re enjoying the great success of this era. The talent, the culture, the mentor: it’s all there waiting for you to enjoy. globalnews.ca/news/1162606...

I would love it if the refs would use that 5 minute review rule to look at their errors when the entire building knows they have messed up - including them. Get it right. Bottom line.

How? Lol.

He literally got Guhle right in the head. And I am sorry but this is why Xhekaj must be in the line up. Dirty hit went unpunished

I’ve written a Wilde Cards that I am very proud of. I hope you’ll read it after the game.

The problem with all this AI generated stuff now is it’s hard to know what’s real.

One of the best 5-on-5 performances of the year for the Canadiens as they solve the Wild. Also in this Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal the apparent disrespect of Bryce Pickford. globalnews.ca/news/1162179...

That’s what I want from that line. It’s the identity that I want to have. Take care of the puck. - MSL on the Danault line

I think it’s his compete level. He stays on task. It is always high. He’s honest with his performance too. He knows exactly why he’s great or not. - MSL on Hutson

I felt we were in control of the game. But I felt that we deserved that late one. We were winning but we weren’t ahead on the scoreboard- MSL

Our 5 on 5 was excellent. We carried the pace. We were on top of them. We showed robustness. One can’t have robustness without pace - MSL

Does that hit Danault please ?

I have no trouble at all with the second one on Matheson - a for sure trip. The first one though I have a problem. Hutson and the Wild player both have their sticks on the ice. That's not hooking. It's competing.

Only league in the world that they don't view that somewhere else at a command central and change the obvious error. Replay assist in the NFL changes that mistake in 10 seconds.

1. I believe it was tipped early, high slot. 2. I agree that you get wide, seal the bottom, and shut the door to the first floor. You have to wait a bit longer on a long shot with a tip possibility, but you have to be down and sealed by the time it arrives.

You fans are so lucky. I covered this team for 30 years. Most of it, I didn’t see beautiful hockey like this. Demidov is as exciting as they come. The pass to more magic Lane Hutson and it’s 3-2 Habs

I’m calling that one a banana. You can say he never saw it. And that would be true probably. But goaltending is percentages. Don’t see it? Cover off the bottom half. No holes in the middle. You keep that rule in mind, ya got a save.

I don't make the rules, but the rule is you score on your bobblehead night. Carrier with a tremendous deflection of a Matheson shot for 2-1 Habs. They dominated the period 14-2 shots. Full marks for the lead.

He’s done it. Phillip Danault. Attacks the net for a recount. His first of the season. The monkey has left the building. 1-1

Perfect hockey play. As Eric said, he trapped him. Penalty Danault. Two minutes for doing too well

My column on the fourth anniversary of one of the best hires the Canadiens have made. montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

The Canadiens weren’t great but the two points sure work for them. All the crazy good offensive numbers and the not so great defensive ones this season all in this Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal. Also the Wilde Cards is a historical look at where Fowler stands. globalnews.ca/news/1161770...

Sidney Crosby has the best second season this century with 120 points. Macklin Celebrini is on pace for 126. Unbelievable jump this year. Absolutely stunning.

Texier taking a therapy day. But check out here from Stu who is on the first line. MSL says that Dach is likely back tomorrow as well. Will he lineup first line? And who comes out? Looks like Laine close too. It’s meritocracy vs hierarchy time at the Bell Centre.

Lane Hutson production this year: 28 points in his last 20 on the left side... before that 22 points in 29 games on the right side

That guy in 4th in that list gets a lot less ice time than the others.

#Habs Martin St. Louis post-game comments vs #Senators "It was the worst second and third periods we've played in a long time. Is it fatigue? Is it the schedule? I don't know. We will look at it. We have a resilient group, and that impresses me. A win like that helps the confidence" #GoHabsGo #NHL

I've never been much of a face-off guy. But wow is Danault ever in on a lot of important face off wins already in his short time in Montreal.

Jake Sanderson after the game... “I think Leevi (Merilainen) made some good saves. But I think at the end of the day, you got to make more than 10 saves to win a game.” Yikes.

I did a little game by game logging .... Slafkovsky 20 points in his last 15 games. He is the top scoring forward for the Canadiens in that time frame. But he is not the top scoring player Hutson with 22 points in his last 16 games. That's right, a diminutive D taken 62nd in the league... Wow

Hilarious. 6 goals on 19 shots. That's what.... .675 as a save percentage. Now that's a comeback. Caufield with yet another overtime winner

I have a prediction. lol... no way this gets to overtime

The Senators haven't had a save all season. This continues. Carrier with the snapshot. 5 goals on 15 shots. Sorry, Ottawa. You deserved better than this. Frankly, not sorry, but whatever...

Slafkovsky for 19 goals on the season. His career high is 20. He has 33 games to break that. Slafkovsky is having a breakout season at 21. Good draft pick.

3rd in the league in goals four. 28th in the league in goals against. Why? You'll want to look at a number of things. Here are some: Save percentage 26th in league Suzuki's lines about 60 Corsi. Kapanen's 50. Evans and Danault's 40 percent. There's a defensive issue somewhere.

Corsi tonight... Evans line 47 per cent Suzuki line 43 Kapanen line 27 Danault line 25 complete and total Sens domination. If you like the simple stats, Habs have 10 shots on goal after 2 periods. Sens 22.

I am not tracking this exactly, but I think the Habs have 2 shots 5 on 5 tonight. Perhaps 3.

You may be looking at the score and think the Canadiens are doing fine. They are not. They are getting caved in all over the ice tonight 5 on 5. The back six of this team have to get better 5-on-5. Was not an issue last year, but it still is this season.

This is why the Sens suck. They've had zero goaltending this year. 3 goals on 8 shots.

Obviously coming back as you don’t ask for video unless you know

Galley talking over a goal. You don’t say

If I were trading with the Sens give me Pinto and Sanderson. Pinto on the Habs be exactly what the third line could us at C.

Hey get it on net. This is an 860 goalie and he doesn’t look particularly comfortable

Jeffrey Martin is one of the best songwriters of this century. An absolutely brilliant songwriter. A treasure of the earth no one knows.

Guys, I saw this coming today. This is why you need to read the Wilde Cards from last night. The questions you are individually asking me about the forwards roster are in here 👇

Wow the Rangers announce a rebuild. Actually they refused to use the word but then when they described the plan, it’s exactly a rebuild.
