The new Desharnais/Pacioretty/Gallagher line looks GREAT tonight, responsible for both Habs goals and dangerous every time they're out there.

Gallagher gets his head driven into the boards from behind by Luke Schenn, "eyes roll back" according to Sean Coleman of TSN690 who was in the seats right by the glass, off to the dressing room. Hope it's not a concussion.

Pacioretty drives the net hard and Timonen takes him out, he smashes into the post with his side, then off to the dressing room. My guess is a rib injury, although he's been known to come back from those without missing any time.

It looked to me like Timonen's skates got him in the midsection. It didn't seem like he hit the post hard, but Timonen's skates were right in the same area.

In Pacioretty's case it looks like stitches from falling on the guy's skate.

It was pretty brutal, Gallagher was bent over and Schenn just drove his face into the top of the boards.

Player of the game: Brendan Gallagher. He had a goal and an assist but more importantly he re-ignited David Desharnais and Max Pacioretty. The trio had a solid game until Gallagher was hit from behind by Luke Schenn (seems to happen a few times every time the Flyers are the opponent).

Goaltending: Petr Budaj 18/19 (.947). This was easily his best game of the year. The Flyers were not very good tonight but he made the key saves necessary to keep the game out of reach.

Desharnais had a goal and Pacioretty had two helpers before leaving the game with a cut. I do not know where the cut happened but he left the game to get stitches.

Alexei Emelin took a hit from behind from Claude Giroux (see what I mean?) where Giroux hit the back of his knee. He looked fine on the bench.

Rene Bourque had another strong effort with a goal and an assist. When thinking of the part-timers plague that hurt the team so much last year, Bourque was leading the way. Not this year. He has brought it every night.

Brian Gionta had a much better game with two assists.

Tomas Plekanec had a goal and won 13 of 21 faceoffs.

Gallagher does have a concussion, and looks to miss at least Monday's game.

Story and video of the hit is here on Yahoo: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-pu...3Rpb25z;_ylv=3

Man Subban, love or hate his attitude...I do love watching him play. Just a strong checker. Timing is insane.

Theme of the game: Goalie controversy! Not really, but Petr Budaj had a great game stopping all 19 shots he faced. The team did a good job tightening up defensively with Price sidelined without going to far into their shell to give the opposition a chance to make a comeback.

The game was actually decided during a brief meltdown by Cam Ward. It began with a shot by Tomas Plekanec that went off his neck and bounced in to make the game 2-0. Ward was clearly shaken up and shortly afterwards allowed Max Pacioretty's first goal of the season from behind the center ice line. Ward was clearly not focused at the time and by the time he regained composure the Canes were down by three.

Plekanec had a great fantasy stat-line: 1 goal, plus-1, 4 shots, 11/19 faceoffs.

Alex Galchenyuk also had a great fantasy stat-line: 1 assist, plus-1, 4 PIM, 4 shots.

Eight different Canadiens had a point in this game.

The power play died after such a hot start to the season.

This season's part-timers, Erik Cole and Brian Gionta, both showed much better energy in this one. Both were very involved and had some good chances to score.
