Last game against these guys was one of the most exciting games of the season for me. Let's repeat that and also get the win.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

89 Ryan Johnston on Habs' 4th line?

Johnston is a defenseman and he's in the AHL.

#89 is Nesterov

 

[LightningStrikes]

Is Nesty playing?

 

[MattM92]

Kucherov made his return last time we played Montreal. Hopefully he's good to go tonight, as well as one/both of Stamkos and Johnson.

[MattM92]

He also just tweeted out that Johnson is the first player on the ice. If it's before the morning skate it could mean he's out tonight.

Vermin also just recalled and on the ice in Tampa.

Vermin also just recalled and on the ice in Tampa.

The official Lightning twitter said he was reassigned, then 27 minutes later tweets he has been recalled. I guess somebody told them they weren't ready to go tonight.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

He got reassigned and then recalled in a matter of 30 minutes? He is on the ice in Tampa.

 

[RDTBay4]

Kucherov out on the ice for the morning skate, looks like he's going to play. Given that plus Vermin, doesn't look like anyone is coming back from injury.

This is going to be tough to win so they need to come out strong and show some effort, intensity, pride, and hustle.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Kuch was taking full line rushes with Palat and Point during this morning's skate so he's probably back tonight.

 

[Brie]

I think Kuch is back but not Stammer or TJ since they were both still on the ice after practice so I doubt either of them are back in tonight. I guess Vermin was going to go back to SYC when they didn't know yesterday and were hoping that maybe either could be but in the end decided against it and asked Vermin to stay.

 

[CupsOverCash]

I think they would rather be safe about it and have them play tomorrow night. Have a couple of guys fresh. If we can claw one out tonight it would be a big boost to the team to have the two return tomorrow night.

 

[Werewolf]

If I'm Montreal I'm coming out for the throat tonight. No way Montreal wants to play a full healthy TB team in the playoffs ... they rather get rid of us before we get healthy. Not expecting a good result tonight.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Rip Lightning

That's actually why I'm not that upset that Stammer or Johnson aren't going to be in tonight's game. Fresh off a long term injury, it's probably not that good to start back facing the Habs. Montreal will be out for blood.

Let them come back in tomorrow's game vs. Dallas.

 

[Iceman]

Boston is up 3 to 2 against Florida with 1 period to go.

 

[Todd1a]

Boston is up 3 to 2 against Florida with 1 period to go.

Not surprised Florida has packed it in for the season

 

[Iceman]

Boston blew them out of the water in the 3rd... sigh.

 

[berlin]

Needed Stammer and Johnson tonight, not tomorrow night.

 

[DaBolts]

Just sigh. We're so doomed.

 

[FinnLightning26]

I would be ok with a win tonight.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

I would be ok with a win tonight.

Meh.
