Habs get romped by the Rags on Thursday, losing 7-4 and MSL has a perfect antidote to help turns things around. Have the Commander himself, start in tonight's tilt!

 

[The Great Weal]

It’s nice to have the first line doing all the work. Makes games watcheable instead of seeing the likes of Armia and Gignac turn into superstars and carry us.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Points for Caufield, Slaf and Suzuki and a defeat, would make me a happy man, but if we win, so be it !

 

[Zorro]

You can bet OV will pot 1 or 2 but as long as Slaf/nick/CC get some points, then i'm happy.

Ps. the Habs' bottom 9 is so gross.

 

[Heffyhoof]

As long as some of the young guns score and play well, win or lose is all good.

 

[Rapala]

Washington aren't that good. They are starting their tank much earlier than last season.
Caps fans may be tuning in just to see if Ovie scores that's about it. They've aged about as well as the penguins have.

Habs win this one 1-0 Jake the great with 59 saves

Didn't Washington shut out Boston recently in Boston?

 

[Runner77]

Streaks:

Cole Caufield scored his 18th and 19th goals of the season vs. Rags.

Slaf 6 goals in past 6 games, has 7-game points streak (11 points in the span, 5 points in his last 2 games).

Suzuki has points in last 9 games (5 points in 2 games vs Caps this season).

Habs PP: 6th-best rate (26.7%) in the NHL in the last month, converting 12 of 13 PPs since Jan. 12th. Leading the charge on PPs during this timeframe, Suzuki (10 PP points), Slaf (4G) and Caufield (4G).

Didn't Washington shut out Boston recently in Boston?

They did last Saturday and it is their only win in the last 9 games

 

[Fatbiggie]

Can we get a hat trick ?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Slaf hat trick Ovi hat trick and a regulation loss thank you.


Is Jake All In allen really in for tonight? Love it

Immediately traded after the game for two 1sts and a signed Ray Bourque Avs jersey

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

1 first line and three 4th lines...

 

[Sasha Orlov]

1 first line and three 4th lines...

Those are like 6th lines at best

 

[Runner77]

1 first line and three 4th lines...

Scarface, Manolo and their toy poodle reigning supreme.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

1 first line and three 4th lines...

It's close to when Guy Lafleur said the Habs had four 4th lines!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

It's close to when Guy Lafleur said the Habs had four 4th lines!

Well, at least we have one.

 

[Nicko999]

6-4 Caps

Slaf hat trick.

 

[Tyson]

6-4 Caps

Slaf hat trick.

I could live with that

 

[LV426]

Couple more points for the big kid.

 

[holy]

It's close to when Guy Lafleur said the Habs had four 4th lines!

2 second lines and 2 fourth lines if we average it out. Progress.

 

[Habs13]

Think we're all on the same page here... want the kids to rack up some points, Ovechkin to notch a few (Gretzky will still always be king - nobody is ever touching his assist or points records. Ever. EVER.)

Oh and some big hits please! A fight or two maybe? Yes yes! Then it's UFC time for a sick card!
