The Canadiens blow out the Leafs once again



Last night in Montreal the Canadiens had no problem scoring goals as they blew-out the Leafs by the score of 6-2. Earlier this season the Canadiens played 2 games in Toronto the first game was on Oct. 11 Montreal won that game 6-1 and the second game was on Nov. 8 and the Leafs got the win 6-3."I think our team remembered that loss in Toronto,'' added Carbonneau. "Now, everything is going good for us."The game last night was nothing like that lose in Toronto,as the Canadiens blew-out the Leafs by the score of 6-2.Sergei Kostitsyn, Maxim Lapierre and Guillaume Latendresse scored in the first period and Alex Kovalev, Andrei Kostitsyn scored in the second period and Max Pacioretty added the only goal for the Canadiens in the third period.Tomas Kaberle and Matt Stajan scored for Toronto last night in the lose.

The Cnadiens scored 5 times on 21 shots on Vesa Toskala, who was later replaced by Curtis Joseph to start the third period."I didn't really like the way the game was officiated," said Leafs coach Ron Wilson. "We were on the receiving end in some scrums where we had guys getting thrown in the box for 10 minutes.And it actually it was three of our better hockey players who had to spend a lot of time for not really doing anything."Former Canadien Mikhail Grabovski, was booed each time he touched the puck. Grabovski was later ejected from the game fot pushing the Ref. and kicking ice at the Ref.When he was ejected from the Game he gave the Canadiens fans a piece sighn.(You can see what Grabovski did right below)

When asked if the incidents with Grabovski will resume when the teams meet again on Feb. 7 in Montreal, Kostitsyn said "yes."''It was like an old Canadiens-Quebec Nordiques game, too,'' said Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau after his team downed the slumping Leafs 6-2 on Thursday night at the Bell Centre.Jaroslav Halak made 30 saves in the victory.The Canadiens next game will be on Saturday against the Capitals.
