Habs lose 4 straight for the first time in 2 seasons



After losing the first 3 straight mettings this season against the Canadiens, the Panthers came out of the gate with some hard core defense and offense as the Canadiens drop their 4th straight game in a row by the score of 5-1."You don't get many nights like that as a coach where you walk out and feel pretty good about almost every component of how the game went," The Panthers coach DeBoer said. "Now it's going to be up to us to reproduce that."Jay Bouwmeester,Stephen Weiss,Richard Zednik, Radek Dvorak and Michael Frolik scored for the Panthers in the victory.As for the Canadiens Robert Lang scored the loan goal for the Canadiens in the blow-out defeat.

When I was watching this game I noticed that, the Canadiens defense was not as sharp as it was in the Past.They were looking like the Toronto Maple Leafs."We have to find that desperation back in our game," defenceman Mike Komisarek said. "We need that one shift, one period, one game to get us back on track, and get us playing with confidence, with poise and playing together."All-star starter Carey Price, making his third start since missing eight games because of an ankle injury, stopped 31 shots in the loss.Price threw down his equipment bag in disgust in the locker room before speaking to reporters after the game."You go from having the best time of your life to the worst time of your life," Price said. "We've got to pull together. We can't start pointing fingers now or you'll never dig yourself out of the hole."The Canadiens will look to get back on track tomorrow when they go back to the Bell Center to take on the L.A. Kings at 2:00Pm E.T.(On CBC and RDS)
