On TSN 690 this morning, Elliott and company were again asking if the Habs winning ways are sustainable.
It's quite obvious they are not. Once again tonight, the Habs were extremely fortunate to win.
Detroit had almost 30 shots that got through to the Habs net; if not for the ridiculous number of blocked shots that #31 had, the score would have been a rout. At the other end, one measly goal by a guy who has publicly admitted he plays like a girl, that he only got because Detroit's best defensive forward lost consciousness on the play when Dale Weise cut the cheese right near him.
In fact, BOTH Habs markers, that flukey one, plus the one where the Detroit goaltender had gone for a tinkle, should never have happened because Max Pacioretty should have been suspended for faking an injury in 2011 after illegally using his head to try and push off Chara to get to a loose puck at the Bell Center. Dr. Recchi confirmed that Patches was embellishing extremely, as he caught him going to a movie when he was supposedly injured for life.
On top of it all, Detroit didn't even ice a strong team tonight, as they rested several Hall of Famers and stars such as Lidstrom, Chelios, Holmstrom, Federov and Konstantinov, to say nothing of Dominik Hasek.
I'm sure the Habs record will come back with a thud; they will NOT make the playoffs unless #31 keeps blocking at least 20 pucks per game, that's for sure!
