I'm going to keep this short and sweet because nothing gets to me like discussing a loss to the Toronto Maple Losers. Despite the loss, the Habs played a very solid game out there. We were working hard and doing all the little things right. Unfortunately it was a few bad breaks that handed the Leafs this game on a silver platter. The Canadiens dominated for the majority of the game and really deserved to win.Quick Hits:
Is Huet cursed against Toronto? I know it's a terrible thing to suggest, but for a goalie who is always so calm and composed Huet always seems to look rattled when we play the leafs. He played a good game overall, but the goals that went in were pretty soft. I don't know what it is, but I wouldn't mind giving Price the next game against Toronto.
Chris Higgins is a machine. What a game from Higgins. This guy impresses me more every game. He works his ass of, gets his nose dirty, and plays with passion. If we hang on to Higgins for a long time he will eventually be our next captain.
I hate the Leafs. There's nothing I hate more than the Leafs and their obnoxious fans. Making it worse is the fact that they always seem to have their best game of the season when they come to Montreal. Hey Leafs fans, your team sucks, your general manager is even worse, and we will win another cup before you guys do.

I have to disagree on the Latendresse in the Zero. ALthough not contributing on the Offense he had a couple of hits to create some opportunities and let his presence be known. I wish we could teach footspeed. Because he would be dangerous with his size, hands, and sense for the Net. Not good against teams with speed (Buffalo) but teams with grit, he is one of the few with enough size to provide some forchecking power hits... Not a master but we are lacking in that department. The Senators Fisher is a good example of someone that can use his physicality to create opportunity.
Heres the deal, Latendresse is a solid player when he does those things (forecheck hard, hit...). The only problem is that he only does it once every 5 games.
