Sergei is also back. And he's with his best linemate match this season. His older brother. Andrei is flying from the word go. There is nothing like playing with his younger brother for the reserved Belarusian.

Bell Central crowd is booing. And not the isolated muppet-heckle type. Medium to full bowl booing.

Mike Fisher is on the ice. He hasn’t been the same player for quite some time. It’s a bonus for Montreal each time we play them. Something like Darcy Tucker’s emotional absence from the Leafs two seasons ago.

That look from the coal-lined innards of an oven. Plekanec has scored at last. It's validation. The type of outcome that causes more not less with a player like Plekanec.
