The Game Day Skate presents a TMS Review of Habs 3, Thrash 1

"Sorry my blind eyes cost you a shutout" "No worries, dude"

Bullet points for what you missed while having nightmares of a bunch of new condos around the Bell Centre...

• Hallelujah! Praise Jebus! Praise Winnie! Habs score 3 goals (ok, two and a half, though the empty netter from 100 feet was probably the prettiest one) to snap out of their goalless streak that according to TSN was the LONGEST GOALLESS DROUGHT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE to beat the Thrashers and put a stake in the heart of their playoff hopes (like we care about that). We'd give you a full review with things like "thought" and "humour" but there's no time as we've got to turn around and attempt to score again this evening. So let's put a numbered list inside this bulleted list (a real risky move in the world of Blogger formatting and unprecedented in FHF history) for some game notes:

1. All credit to the Mexican American! No really, he may have played his best game of the season, and helped make DarCHe not look out of place on his line. Great work behind the net and a nice pass to set up DarCHe's goal. He worked and skated all night. It's true, we swear!
2. Love us some Tits! Throwing his body around! Getting his body thrown around! He was like a Weeble who wobbled and wouldn't fall down. No that's not right. He was like a bowling pin that gets knocked down over and over but keeps hopping back up and gets right back to work. Yes, that analogy is apt, Tits is a bowling pin;
3. We have seen a lot of non-calls in our lifetime, but that missed high stick to Gill's face (pretty hard to do!) was an embarrassment to the refs or more in the Anti-Habs conspiracy, as it led to spoiling Carey's deserved shutout, changing a 2-0 cruising to a 2-1 clenching of our bowels for the rest of the game. TMI?
4. Squid needs to go back to the training room and take some games off to get better. He must have come back too early, because he is just not right. We'd say the same of PleXXXe, but we need him in the lineup;
5. Our PP continues to blow chunks. You know what our PP needs? A young energetic puck moving black man. If only we had one;
6. We certainly feel better about our playoff chances this morning (up to 99.2%) and we think it was a pretty hard fought win, but at the risk of taunting McPhee, two in the crease goals in 11 seconds does not momentum into the playoffs make. The PleXXXe line is doing nothing, the PP sucks, and the D needed to be bailed out by Carey numerous times once again. We're taking a wait and see attitude until tonight.

• Leafs! Greatest team in the universe! Nazem Kadri! The Next Great One! Leafs 4, Sabres 3;
• The Phucktards keep the Pens at bay with a 5-2 win;
• Give the WhalerCanes some credit for going into the 3rd down a goal with their playoff hopes on the line and beating the Caps in a SO;
• The Bs shut out the Hawks, and they could easily make it to 2nd in the conference;
• Tampa's 5-2 win over Ottawa keeps them 4 points ahead of the Habs for 5th;
• The 'Nucks secure top spot in the West with a 3-1 win over the Preds;
• Looks like Todd Bertuzzi won't be suspended for his elbow the other night.

OK like we said, right back at it tonight in Carolina. In the meantime, enjoy these long-from video highlights after a win. They feature actual goals! Scored by Habs!
