I didn't see the whole game, but I saw parts of the first and the third period and I would have paid to see this game.  Habs had a lot more tempo and puck possession and carried the puck into the offensive zone.  What impressed me the most was the defense, even though they scored three goals I thought the Habs defense  played great. The Habs defense made a few mistake (Rivet on the Rangers 3rd) and the Rangers capitalized, J. Jagr seemed to be flying out there, he looks like he'll have a great season.  I really liked the play of the rookies Plekanec and Higgins (him especially).  I thought the habs got away with a couple of penalties that could have been called against them.  Maybe it just me, I'm just not sure of what's a penalty any more. 

There is one player on the habs that I just don't get that is Pierre Daigenais, he got a penalty in the first and seems to always be in the box.  He's a big guy but doesn't play physical, doesn't seem to do much back checking and doesn't seem to have much tempo to his game.  He is one-demionsional.  I would prefer to see his spot open to a Higgins, Plekanec or Perizoghin. 

Also Saku was not noticable this game.
