Boston Bruins (28-19-4) at Montreal Canadiens (30-20-2) We are going head to head with the team we are fighting for 3rd and the final guarenteed playoff spot in the Atlantic. We have played the Bruins twice this year and have won both games by scores of 3-1 and 3-0. Montreal sent back R Richard Day to the AHL due to the back to back situation. Montreal has been getting pretty good production from LD Yegor Berestnev recently. He has points in 5 of his last 6 games for 11 points, all assists. On the season he has 6 goals and 38 points in 52 games. The Boston Bruins are real tight defensively, they have allowed just 26 shots per game, 2nd only to Montreal. The Bruins give up 2.18 GAA per game good for 3rd. RD Gerald Lowe leads the Bruins with 40 points, including 1st on the team with 25 assists.

LW Danny Clair leads the Bruins with 17 goals, he also has 31 points in 51 games. The 20 year old two-way forward is strong in his defensive positioning and physical strength.

The period ends with the Bruins out shooting Montreal 11 to 9. Boston ties the score 1-1 at 16:18 of the 2nd period when RW Kelly Russell gets his 13th of the year. Montreal out shoot Boston 11 to 6 in the 2nd period. Montreal is 1 for 3 on the PP, Boston is 0 for 3. Boston outshot Montreal 11 to 8 in the 3rd period and the shots are tied 28 to 28 just like the score. Both teams had 2 PPs in the 3rd but they solved nothing. We head into overtime. Montreal gets the only 2-shots of overtime, RW Al Ladd had the best opportunity 45 seconds in, but he was stymied. Boston outscores the Habs 2-1 in the shoot out for the extra point and the win. Boston RW Kelly Russell is named the 1st star with his goal, but what was remarkable was that he had 11 shots on goal. The 20 year old now has 13 goals and 25 points in 52 games. In his 2nd season as a Bruin, he had 25 goals and 45 points in 82 games last year in his rookie season.

Trade Deadline Analysis Montreal Canadiens The Montreal Canadiens get ready for the stretch run with 28 games left in the schedule and the trade deadline set for February 1st. Montreal is really a bubble team, currently holding the 1st Wild Card Spot in the East, a point ahead of the Lightning who have a game in hand. The Capitals would be next with 60 points in 53 games. But what motivates me to get to the dance is that we were an 8th seed less than 24 months ago and won it all with some incredible playoff performances by guys still in the line-up.
G Mike Blackshear was 16-5 in the playoffs that season with a 1.62 GAA and .934 save %. LD Marc-Andre Berube had 10 points in 21 games with a +14 rating. LW Lorenzo Bocci had 7 goals and 18 points with a +9 rating in 21 games. C Chris Hughes had 8 goals and 18 points in 21 games with a +10 rating. C Dave Wright had 7 goals and 16 points with a +8 rating. An area of concern for Montreal based on their defensive style, is the lack of shot blocking. Montreal uses the "Collapsing to the Net" defensive style and it requires good shot blocking. This is supported by the fact the many of the goals against this season have been scored from the point by defenseman. The Top forward shot blockers in the NHL are currently around 50 or more including the NHL leader Winnipeg Jets LW Will Newby with 87. Montreal's top forward at shot blocking is "captain" C Chris Hughes with 56.
So the hunt will start for a shot blocking forward, hopefully one that likes to give out the occasional hit. |

February 9th, 1983
Montreal Canadiens (34-23-3) at New York Islanders (34-21-6) Before the game, Montreal made a roster move. Montreal sent LW Daniel Mikulecky to the AHL Ice Caps and recalled C Jim Rutgers. The 28 year old Rutgers has 4 goals and 9 points in 20 AHL games. Just a small shake up to hopefully help us down the stretch. Montreal is hoping to get RW Yevgeny Ronov going again. The 21 year old has only 2 assists in his last 5 games with a -1 rating. The speedy Russian maybe feeling the effects of the 3rd line role change. The Islanders currently sit in the 5th spot in the East, and 2nd in the Metropolitan Division. They don't give up many goals, but they don't score alot either. C Philippe Caron leads the team with 16 goals and leads with 40 points in 61 games. The 19 year old two-way forward is a strong defensive player. This is Caron's rookie NHL season, he played 2 seasons in the WHL with the Kamloops Blazers where he had 99 goals, 240 points, 474 PIMs and a +95 rating in 144 WHL games. Caron was the Islanders 1st round, 13th overall pick in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft. LW Tim Hull leads the Islanders with 30 assists and is 2nd with 38 points, including 8 goals in 61 games.
