MONTREAL--Ron Hainsey and Josef Balej each scored two goals to
lead the Montreal Canadiens to a 5-1 victory over the Florida Panthers
at the Bell Centre on Thursday night in the first preseason game for
each team.
The Panthers took a 1-0 lead early in the second period when C
Stephen Weiss scored on a backhand shot from the slot. LW Niklas
Hagman assisted on the goal which came 1:52 into the period. The
Canadiens tied the game with a power play goal less than five minutes
later when Ron Hainsey scored off a wrist shot from the left face-off
circle. Saku Koivu and Yanic Perreault assisted on the goal.
Montreal took the lead 10:33 into the second period when Hainsey
netted his second goal of the game. Hainsey took a pass across the blue
line from Marcel Hossa and fired a slap shot that beat G Roberto
Luongo. Following the goal, both teams changed goaltenders, with G
Wade Flaherty entering the game for Florida and Mathieu Garon
coming in for Montreal.
The Canadiens did not waste much time in extending their lead as
Perreault scored just 19 seconds after Hainsey's second goal to give
Montreal a 3-1 lead. Perreault took a pass in the slot from Joe Juneau,
who was stationed behind the Florida net.
Josef Balej gave Montreal a three-goal lead when he scored 33 seconds
into the third period. Balej finished off a feed in the slot from Patrick
Traverse. He then gave the Canadiens a 5-1 lead when he scored a
breakaway goal less than two minutes later.
The opening period was scoreless in large part because of the solid
goaltending play of Luongo and Jose Theodore. Luongo made nine
saves in the period, including a glove save from his back to thwart a
Montreal three-on-one. Both goaltenders also received a little help
from the posts. Weiss rang a shot off the crossbar just over five minutes
into the game, and then with just under seven minutes remaining in the
period, Mike Ribeiro fired a low slap shot off the far post at the end of
a two-on-one rush for the Canadiens.
Complete stats from tonight's game will be available on
FloridaPanthers.com in the morning...
Coming up tomorrow, the Cats host the Carolina Hurricanes for game
one of a back-to-back series. It will be the team's first game at the
newly re-named Office Depot Center. Players expected to be in the
line-up include Roberto Luongo, Val Bure, Jay Bouwmeester, Dmitry
Yushkevich, Stephane Matteau and Stephen Weiss. There will be no

The final score of Thursday's game in Montreal was erroneously
reported as 5-1 when in effect it was 5-2. Hannes Hyvonen
scored in the final minutes of regulation and the goal was not
reflected in the final tally. We apologize for the confusion.

The Florida Panthers bounced back from Thursday's preseason-opening loss at Montreal with a 3-0 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in front of 11,344 Friday night at Office Depot Center. Peter Worrell, Olli Jokinen and Niklas Hagman provided the offense, while Roberto Luongo and the Florida penalty-killing units shut down the Hurricanes.
Luongo made 29 saves and the Panthers killed 10 Carolina power plays, including a critical 5-on-3 disadvantage for nearly two minutes to open the third period. The Cats led only 2-0 at the time, but didn't allow a shot on net during the two-man disadvantage.
Worrell came out strong, getting open for four great scoring opportunities in the first period. He finally cashed in on the power play at 14:31 of the first, when Byron Ritchie blasted a shot from the left point and Worrell swept the rebound past goalie Jean-Marc Pelletier. Sandis Ozolinsh notched an assist for his backhand cross-ice pass to Ritchie.
The Cats added to their lead in the second with a goal by Jokinen five seconds into a Panthers power play at 1:18 of the second. Left wing Stephane Matteau found a wide-open Jokinen who one-timed the puck by Pelletier. Rookie defenseman Jay Bouwmeester also assisted.
Carolina looked ready to get back into the game in the opening stages of the third, with Jokinen in the box for hooking and Ritchie beside him for tripping. But Florida's penalty killers allowed nothing.
The Panthers added an insurance goal just 1:10 after Ritchie returned to the ice. Hagman skated in from the right side and beat Pelletier off assists from Jim Campbell and rookie Stephen Weiss.
Florida finished 2-of-7 on the power play and fired 11 shots with the extra man. The Cats killed all 10 power plays against, weathering 12 power-play shots. Pelletier stopped 27 of 30 shots in the loss for Carolina as the Panthers evened their preseason record at 1-1. It was the first preseason contest for the Hurricanes.
The Panthers and Hurricanes will meet again Saturday night at TECO Arena in Estero, Florida at 7:30 p.m. It will be Florida's third game in three nights.
Florida's lineup is expected to include forwards Pierre Dagenais, Ryan Johnson, Scott Kelman, Ivan Novoseltsev, Josh Olson, Byron Ritchie, Joey Tetarenko, Jeff Toms, Peter Worrell, Ryan Jardine, Gaetan Royer and David Morisset. Defensemen include Sven Butenschon, Ivan Majesky, Igor Ulanov, Lance Ward, Brad Ference and Lukas Krajicek. Wade Flaherty and Chris Mason will tend the nets.

Worrell opened the scoring 14:31 into the first period off a rebound of a C Byron Ritchie shot from the point. D Sandis Ozolinsh also assisted on the goal. The Panthers extended their lead to 2-0 when Jokinen scored on a one-timer off a nice feed from LW Stephane Matteau.

Through two games, Luongo has stopped 42 of 44 shots faced for a .955 save percentage. He made 29 saves in recording the shutout last night against Carolina and stopped 13 of 15 shots in a period and a half of action Thursday night against Montreal.

As if the Florida Panthers didn’t get enough work playing three games in three nights, the Carolina Hurricanes made them work overtime Saturday night at TECO Arena in Estero, Florida. The ‘Canes scored at 3:14 of the overtime on a goal by Bates Battaglia to earn the extra point in the standings.
Battaglia scored on the rebound of a Nikos Tselios shot that was stopped by Panthers goaltender Wade Flaherty, who played well throughout the game, finishing with 40 saves. Battaglia’s goal came just moments after he handed Florida a chance at the win by high sticking Byron Ritchie.
Battaglia’s penalty gave the Panthers a manpower advantage just 39 seconds into the extra session. Ryan Jardine missed just inches wide on a tip attempt and moments later nearly tipped a Sven Butenschon point shot through Carolina netminder Randy Petruk, who made a tough save. But the Hurricanes were able to kill off the penalty and eventually win the game.
Defenseman David Tanabe notched the lone goal of the first period, blasting a slap-shot through Flaherty - who was screened on the play - from the deep slot, while the Canes were on a 4-on-3 power play. Florida’s best chances came on an early power play, but Petruk made three big stops to keep the Panthers off the board. Petruk finished with 28 saves on 30 shots.
Ryan Johnson tied the game in the second during 4-on-4 play, slipping the puck past a sliding Petruk. Jardine set up Johnson’s goal, drawing three Hurricanes toward him and sending the puck to an open space. Johnson used his speed to beat the ‘Canes back and broke in alone on Petruk for the goal. Lukas Krajicek also assisted on the goal.
After killing three straight Carolina power plays, Florida got a chance to take the lead with a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:06 late in the second. But Petruk denied two good chances in front of the net and a falling Pierre Dagenais lunged for a loose puck with the Carolina goalie out of position, but missed just wide. The teams left the ice tied at 1-1 after two periods.
Carolina regained the lead on the power play with just 6:19 to play when Jeff Hereema scored off the rush on the rebound of a Mike Zigomanis shot. But the Cats came right back on a Ritchie goal 1:12 later off a feed from Ivan Novoseltsev. Left wing Peter Worrell, who played his second straight solid game, set up the play and also drew an assist.
Defenseman Igor Ulanov tweaked his knee in the first period and did not return, but he will travel with the team and is expected back on the ice in a couple of days. The Panthers depart for Vail, Colorado on Sunday for five days of high-altitude training. Their next preseason contest will be Friday, Sept. 27 vs. Tampa Bay at Office Depot Center

.....wie gesagt, ist mir scheiß egal wie sie gespielt haben, solange es nicht in der
Saison so ist!! Vorbereitung ist da um zu lernen, um auszuprobieren, etc., und nicht um zu glänzen!! der schon das leere Tor vor sich hatte, aber sein Jubel zerbrach am Reflex von Lions-Goalie Dominic Roussel, der aus dem Nichts auftauchte und mit dem Fuß abwehrte.
