Montreal Canadiens May 7, 2013Habs Eyes On The Prize SCORING SUMMARY 1ST PERIOD NONE PENALTY SUMMARY 1ST PERIOD 04:20 MTL DAVID DESHARNAIS : HOOKING - 2 MIN (JEAN-GABRIEL PAGEAU) 16:53 MTL BRANDON PRUST : ROUGHING - 2 MIN (ERIC GRYBA) Maybe there's a little comeuppance going on for the Canadiens gooning it up in the last game and getting out of it without suspensions. That would explain Ottawa getting two powerplays to Montreal's zero, when Ottawa was dominated at even strength and committed far more infractions. David Desharnais finally got his first shot of the playoffs, and finished positive in possession. He still doesn't look very goo...

Instead of feeling sorry f...

Habs Eyes On The Prize [click for high resolution] Because I was traveling to New York City for a weekend away, I never got a chance to weigh in on David Desharnais' new contract, so I'll be mixing that in here for a bit of a longer review. We'll cover that after we go over Davey's first half of the season. Desharnais is a limited player. He works hard and as many people like to say, he's constantly proving nay sayers wrong, but he's not a versatile, two-way player like Tomas Plekanec. It is because of this that he's given the role that he is, that of an exploitation, all-offense center. Due to depth thr...

Habs Eyes On The Prize So, after four years in the QMJHL, being passed over in the NHL Entry Draft, playing a year with the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones, and spending two and a half seasons with the Hamilton Bulldogs, David Desharnais has finally secured his first multimillion dollar NHL contract. It's been a long, arduous march through periods of rejection and financial insecurity for the 26-year-old and his perseverance should be commended. His story is a good one, plain and simple. Speaking of good stories (and terrible segues), I have a bunch links to good stories below. Habs News and Analysis I know the...

Habs Eyes On The Prize Early this morning, TSN's Darren Dreger tweeted that the Canadiens were set to announce the extension, and the term and money were later reported by Renaud Lavoie of RDS. It's not so much the extension that's puzzling as the term and the dollars involved. That's a lot for a player who's basically some guy who plays sheltered minutes with first or second line linemates. He doesn't exactly face the toughest competition, and the last time I checked, his numbers weren't exactly phenomenal this season. This also begs the question of whether there is now a logjam at centre. People on Twit...

Habs Eyes On The Prize The Montreal Canadiens were scheduled to play four games in the state of Florida this season, they've played them, and they've won every single game. The season series against the Florida Panthers is over, the first season series the Habs have completed in this shortened season, and it ended with a sweep. Montreal outscored the Panthers 10-3 over 3 games. The Canadiens wasted no time getting a lead this time, with David Desharnais' 8th of the season beating Jacob Markstrom under two minutes in. Desharnais is having a bit of a curious season in my opinion. His advanced stats suggest t...
