Jaroslav beats David.

Tonight's matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins was a great game. The intensity level was playoff high and both teams played the game the way it should be played. The Boston Bruins ended up winning the contest 3-1.

Goaltender Jaroslav Halak was nothing short than spectacular during the game. The only goals he allowed was a tipped shot, a screened shot and a perfect shot hitting the iron on it's way in. He remained calm all game long and didn't made basic mistakes. He in fact was the only reason the score was still 0-0 after 1 period. Halak should become the main starter of the team's remains of the season and the return of Christobal Huet.

David Aebisher doesn't deserve a start in this league ever. He is cleanly outplayed by a rookie making his first starts in the NHL. You can see my repeated rantings about David Aebisher on this blog: David David where were you? , Scary 5-4 win. , Another game, another loss. and Aebisher can't stop the slide. Thank you johnchow.com for the technique! :)

So a very bad week for Montreal. Only managed to pick up 2 points out of the possible 8. But still they got a lot of help around and still rank 9th.
