After the shocking first minute of play, this game settled down to one that was pretty much controlled by the Canes. Montreal was getting away with some shots and the officiating was terribly one-sided early on, but it also settled down to just normally bad for both teams. Hall has been a true difference maker (as have the rest of the new guys). Not a perfect game, but a good win against a team fighting for a playoff spot.
That one took some doing.

Blake also had 3 points.
Well, they played like they wanted it sure enough. I'm not sure tight man pressure against this particular Carolina team is a good idea though.
It wasn't just Luxmore either, although he WAS terrible last night. The linesmen got in the act early and often too, and in all aspects. They got offsides and icing calls wrong all night and neither one of them could drop the puck without being an officious ass. Bottle that up and show the tape in ref school as a classic ... don't do this, kids sort of thing.

Yeah, I was impressed with their tenacity - not a typical grinding game - but the Canes were just a better team.
