[CauZuki]

Good job on GDT , I have a good feeling about this game!

Habs win 5-2 ,

Ryder
Galchenyuk x 2
Plekanec
Subban


Go Habs Go!

 

[Nicko999]

I'm going to miss this one (god damn exams...) so we automatically win.

Galchenyuk with 2 pts.

 

[BubbleGumPlant]

Habs need 7 pts in 6 games to clinch home ice. But screw that let's win the god damn division! Go Habs!

 

[poetryinmotion]

Time to feel positive!! Go Habs Go!!



That penguin .gif is an automatic win when I see it beware.

 

[Demon Wolf]

Glad to see Ryder back with Pleks

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Calling it now - nothing gets by Price! And if perchance it does, we're in BIG trouble. Seriously, though, positive vibes, time to return to form and get ready for the playoffs.

Budaj is the starter.

 

[Account Terminated]

Back to the W column, please!

Go Habs Go!! My best bud is a diehard Penguins fan, so please win!

I should sleep.

 

[Tuggy]

I honestly have no idea what is going to happen tonight.

I know one thing, having a defense with Drewiske, Bouillon and Weber playing is not pretty.

 

[Halifaxhab*]

MT looked absolutely PI SS ED after that philly game. I hope to see more Ice time for the Gally's and Eller, as well I can see Subban hitting the 28 min mark tonight.


Win or lose I think we will see the Habs of last week. Motivated, tenatious and just plain tough to play against.

Just noticed Weber's in. I hope this doesn't spell the end of our rookie exposure camp. We're supposed to be building for the future, right? No major trades to avoid selling away assets, right? So why not keep giving valuable experience to our future: Beaulieu and - maybe - Tinordi?

We're either in this race to win or we're not. By taking Beaulieu out, it looks like we're doing neither.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

At least Crosby is not playing this time

This'll be the real test of Therrien the Sequel. Can he get the team's mental state back on track with anything more than yelling and looking pihssed? Motivation is a tricky, subtle beast.

 

[sharks9]

Exams tonight and tomorrow night so I'll miss both our games, hopefully we can come out with at least one win!

 

[WeThreeKings]

Not having a good feeling about this one.

 

[Luigi Habs]

We're due for a win but Budaj is also due for a loss.

 

[fsdev905]

Going to miss the first period.
Hope the Habs can pull this out.
If this is not a "must win" game for simply their confidence, I don't know what is.

 

[habtastic]

LJV has another chance to prove his worth. Please no sofff play.

I would so much prefer Tinordi being given these games to prepare for the playoffs, but oh well, he was only pretty much mistake free.

Hoping for a big game from DD/Patch. Expecting a big game from Gally/Chucky/Eller/PK

I think this is purely so that we don't mentally burn the image we always see of Weber into our minds causing us to think of him as part of the coaching staff, always suited up (literally). Guy must be running out and can't afford to repeat so much/doesn't have Mike's pocket square flare.

I understand what you mean but I dont agree with the fact that these guys should need motivation. I have always disagreed with the whole motivation of athletes deal, it should be the team pride that automatically makes them want to do well.

Therrien has coached his life out to get a 15th place team to turn it around and believe that they could win. I think clinching so early has caused our guys to feel maybe a little elite but toronto and philly took that away. I hope they play to win tonight and make us forget the last two games.

 

[fsdev905]

Just hope Webbers return isn't going to dump gasoline into the already raging fire.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Just hope Webbers return isn't going to dump gasoline into the already raging fire.

two back-to-back losses (only second time all year) = "raging fire"
