Pacioretty took a stick to face area this morning (in practice)...Claude Julien said Pacio will be fine and ready for game 1, so nothing too serious...phew!

heard that Emelin might not even make the trip to NY, that sucks we badly need him on that bottom pairing.

Given that Emelin probably wont be available anytime soon, I cant wait for Davidson to get back in the lineup. He was relatively dependable in the regular season, and I see him as an immediate upgrade considering that it would mean Nesterov coming out.
Getting rid of Nesterov eliminates the Beaulieu-Nesterov duo, which I believe also makes Beaulieu better.
Granted, Davidson is not playoff tested, but I can't see him being any worse than Nesterov has been.

By who and when?
3 days ago, CJ said that there was a possibility for Emelin to make the trip

agreed, getting Davidson in there would be a big plus to Nesterov and would greatly help Beaulieu as these 2 just can not be paired together unless they want to give Hab fans heartattacks.
during the game last night, think it was Gary Galley that said it. But he just said he might not make the trip, so hopefully we hear something today.

Well if that's the case, nothing to LOL about...
Last I read, Julien said he may make the trip to NY...

I'm laughing because it's hopeless, we're stuck with a bad 3rd line because bergevin didn't do **** all year. Imagine what an unexpected injury on D would do to us

So if Davidson is good to go (you have to assume he would play over Nesterov) who would play on their offside on the third pairing, Beau or Davidson? Or does Davidson go back with Petry and Benn goes back to 3 RD? I think Benn has been playing too well to demote him down to the third pairing.

MB traded for 3 bottom pairing defensemen down the stretch, not sure how that means he "didn't do **** all year" to get depth for the bottom pair.Nesterov has played well in a playoff run before but if playing awful. Probably worth the gamble for a 6th though.
Davidson is a good bottom pairing guy who played second pair in Edmonton last year, he's just hurt at the moment.
Benn has been fantastic.
MB also brought in Redmond for depth to start the year. He had really good advanced stats last year but was pretty disappointing for us this year. Still, a no risk move that just happened to not pay off.

Yes, he was right to try many different options instead of putting all his eggs in one basket.
The Benn addition was fantastic, and all we would have needed if we were healthy
Markov Weber
Benn Petry
Beaulieu Emelin
Davidson, Nesterov, Redmond, Lernout
Both are injued though no?
Sergachev is also with the team. Not sure he's ready. And he still has his head down so much, I fear him getting a concussion.

Our 3rd pairing isn't the problem, our 2nd pairing is because Beaulieu isn't fit for it. So yes, bergevin hasn't done **** all year. He's perfect in the eyes of people who are satisfied with useless bottom 6 and bottom pairing pickups because they're under the impression our top 6 and top 4 is perfect.

He's skating -- is this confirmed?? That bodes well if the Habs move onto the second round.

This is great news!! Thanks/cheers for info/link.
(Emelin has ''commenced'' his skating).
I still wouldn't rush Emelin back...only if he's 100%, or close enough to really contribute (no space for defensive mistakes...every mistake is seen under a huge microscope). We need the Emelin of late and not the middle-of-season-Emelin. Looks like we're getting the good-playoffs-Petry now...hoping to get Davidson (playoff dman potential) in there to give more time for Emelin to fully heal (or to even steal his spot unless the Habs lose two in a row...if).
Benn/Davidson? - Petry
Davidson?-Beaulieu-Benn
Emelin
Nesterov
Lernout
(or Benn on the right side of Beau to protect that duo from Beau's mistakes...in case Beau has another -3 night,etc...).
If that's the case...it wouldn't be a demotion for Benn, just more balance for 3 pairings, etc, but maybe you leave Benn with Petry? (since you shouldn't change something that is working really well,etc).
Davidson:
anyone know if there is any very recent updates...? Thanks.
TSN (link below) is still showing Davidson as day-to-day...hoping this is old news and his flu/illness is gone by now. Darn flu...it would be Davidson out there instead of Nesterov. Mitchell looks ready to go (not on injury list anymore)...I'd put him in the lineup for crying out loud...he's a true warrior for our Habs. IF Emelin would be ready for Tues...if...I'd ease him in there on the right side of Beaulieu (3rd pairing). But, hopefully we keep winning and this gives more time for Emelin to fully heal ('cause Tues or Thurs may be too early...but I hope it's not too early! if so...hoping Davidson is there soon to the rescue).

Good news for this thread (for those who want an update):
<Mitchell's back...he's IN.
<Davidson has no more flu? (apparently?) since he might be IN (maybe?) for tonight's game (Sunday).
<Emelin is skating...hopefully we win a lot, so he doesn't have to rush back (would love for him to come back a 100%, and not 50% or 75% or wherever he's at...since he's skating I'm gonna hope he's closer to 90% or even 100%...!!). And, would also love it if he had more time for intense practices to better prepare him for the fast Rangers.
Go Habs Go!! (stay healthy and get HOT!!).
