[Coopers Gum]

Montreal's power play is worse than ours. 14%. Ouch.

 

[2MinutesforGiraffing]

Ah yes. Another evening of liver failure and possible divorce. I'm still angry about realignment.

 

[Kusic]

4-1 for Habs

MTL goals: Plekanec, Pacioretty, Desharnais, Plekanec.
TBL goals: Palat.

 

[Brie]

Well Subban said that we wouldn't win this game so we'll see if the team listened to him or if they have decided to prove him wrong, either way this will be a tough game against a red hot Habs team who just keeps winning right now.

[Cookiefist]

No Gudas to check subban into oblivion.

Erik Erlendsson @erlendssonTBO

Looks like JT Brown may draw back in tonight as he took Morrow's spot on the 4th line

Would be nice to see Brown back in the lineup.

Joe Smith @TBTimes_JSmith

#tblightning d-pairings: Hedman-Stralman/Garrison-Sustr/Barberio-Carle, w Nesterov the extra

Habs fan here, was looking up stuff and just realized Tyler Johnson is 5th in the NHL in scoring with above 1 PPG and only 7 powerplay points!? Best kept secret in the league IMO.

Kucherov also at 39 pts (and +26) with very few PPP... What's up with that?

I see they play with Palat, that line must be a whole lot of fun to watch I guess.

Here's to a great game tonight!

Don't blink tonight when they're on the ice.

Taking this opportunity

To give a BIG THANKS to TheDaysof 04 for all his effort in taking care of this part in particular for us.

Oh yea Kuch with two goals.

 

[Brie]

Looks like Cooper wasn't as happy as we were with what Drouin did on the 1st line the little he was there last game.

 

[ganiseri]

That first line gave me cancer.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Really hope we pull this one off. I have a newfound distaste for Les Habitants since our playoff series.

 

[Uber Coca]

Hey, I was in Tampa Bay early December and caught a game at the Amalie arena. I was quite surprised by the atmosphere, great fanbase. Anyway, here's to a great game between two of the top teams in the East.

 

[Brie]

I don't know if this is good or not but here are the refs for tonight:

 

[iwtb*]

I am really not looking forward to this. TKO alone is not going to beat Montreal with Price on the net.

 

[c_robio]

Looks like Cooper wasn't as happy as we were with what Drouin did on the 1st line he was there last game.

Quite surprised he's going with Connolly there again, I can only hope it's because RW Brown is in for LW Morrow.

I'm again worried Stamkos will try to carry the puck and pass too much. He needs someone else on the line that can carry/distribute
while Killorn does the dirty work at the net

It'll probably be like last game where Drouin gets some of Connolly's shifts

 

[Brie]

 

[Callum]

Brilliant.

After suffering through a summers day work theres nothing better than coming back home to watch a replay of Bolts v Habs.

Let's make it a goodie

Yeah, Coop's trigger happy in-game with the first line, so I'm not too worried who's playing on it.

Stamkos had 12 shots and a hat trick against Montreal last time. They're out for revenge. I'd like to see Stamkos carry us a bit tonight just to make a statement.

 

[IdealisticSniper]

This is about as big of a game as a regular season tilt can get. Hoping we go in and dominate like the first game, but will be more than happy with a hard fought regulation win.

 

[DFC]

Yzerman: "Please, please, PLEASE put Connolly on 1st line."

Cooper: "But he sucks."

Yzerman: "Teams are offering me their 3rd rounder. We need to get the guy on the scoresheet."

Cooper: "I'll give him two periods. But I'm really gettin sick of this $*** Steve."

 

[Stamper]

There's no Canadian refs this game, we might have a chance!

In Montreal the crowd makes the calls. The guys in stripes are just instructed to blow the whistle when they are told to by the 18K people in the stands.
