Pre-Game Talk: Habs in Ottawa, Saturday Night | 7:00 pm on HNIC

[krapsik]

Its best of 3 PO. Only 4 points is acceptable.

I'd accept 2 or 3

We've been playing "The most important game of the Year" scenarios all year. I don't think Habs have, based on their start. We should be primed to follow the system and make it work.

4 points would be great. Boston still in the mix as well. Need those 2 if we are still healthy.

 

[Back in Black]

9 hours to go!

To paraphrase the immortal Apollo Creed: Give everyone a present and drop these chumps. Twice.

Goalie Drama!!!

Condon first off ice, Groulx and Anderson had a long chat.

Boucher engaging in MacLeanien mind games with the Habs? Just not going to be the same without Therrien there to pout.

 

[robsenz]

Hypothetically speaking, if Dion was to lay a crushing hit would you rather have it be on Shaw or Gallagher?

Both, it's a DOUBLE DION!

edit: already beaten to this

 

[Orrfourever]

Bruins fan here.

Hope the Sens win both games.

I get real enjoyment from watching the Habs get beat.

First place is yours to take.

Go Sens!!!

 

[Karl Eriksson]

It warms my heart to see the Bruins fans pulling for us. They are easily the Atlantic team I like the most after Ottawa. United vs. the Habs.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Brent Wallace has these practice lines:

Smith Turris Ryan
Dzingel Brassard Burrows
Hoffman Pageau Pyatt
Stalberg Kelly Wingels

Would be nice to see Stone in there, but man those are balanced lines.

Not balanced when Ryan does nothing, which is most of the time.

Maybe, but it's the Bruins I want Ottawa to play in the 1st round.

Odd to say after he had one of his best games of the season, but alrighty then

The Senators are a likable team. Never met an Ottawa fan I didn't get along with. A good hockey town with seriously rich hockey history (we New Englanders appreciate history) and no real bad blood between Boston and Ottawa.

It's only natural that we might share certain 'interests'. I do think it's a shame that after XXV years back in the NHL there hasn't been a Bruins-Senators playoff matchup.

Here's hoping you beat the bag out of the Habs this weekend. We can sort out Tuesday when it gets here.

 

[Aurilius]

Maybe, but it's the Bruins I want Ottawa to play in the 1st round.

I think I saw a Bruins fan poll that had us as the matchup they didn't want in the playoffs by a wide margin, so they will definitely be pulling for us to take 1st lol.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Playing Boro tonight is a big mistake,

It's like a 2 goal swing in the scoreline of a game when he plays over Claesson.

 

[vdB]

Playing Boro tonight is a big mistake,

Disagree. It'll be a rock n sock em game. We need him out there!

 

[GWNR]

Sure.

So he fanned on a shot and didn't bank in a shot that went a foot wide of his blade. Gotcha.

Must mean he had a terrible game overall!!!! Well done

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Sure.

First one was bad, second one was actually a great play by #7 on Chicago. I didn't think Ryan had that bad of a game either, drew a penalty, had some good possession.

What I would give for the NHL to not have complete **** ice. Want to increase scoring? Make it so a puck is actually a puck and not a goddamn bouncy ball.

Improve the ice = improve the game.
