Pre-Game Talk: Big Bad Canadiens vs. Bruins 7:30pm

[Teufelsdreck]

I think the Habs will be at a severe disadvantage because of their injuries. However, unlike the Winter Classic, Price will be in goal. I'm glad the Habs won some of their recent games because their playoff status is precarious. I'd like the Bruins to finish exactly where they did last season: one place out of the playoffs, 14th overall draft pick, while the Habs get the 18th-20th pick (or lower).

No game again until Friday night. It will be a long week if they lose this one.

No disrespect, but if the Habs playoff spot is precarious AT THIS POINT, then I suggest that there's 15 other teams whose spot is precarious too.

Not to mention that we have a slight advantage of playing in a division that is... well, not that strong.

Habs 11-0

Pacioretty
Shaw
Shaw
Weber
Lehkonen
Mitchell
Redmond

This is the only right answer.

Is this a joke or something?

tuefulsdrek... wtf, is that a stab at sarcasm ?

Bergeron has 8 pts in 26 games.

Plekanec has 13 pts in 28 games.

Plekanec has 2 goals in 28 games

Flynn has 2 goals in 17 games

Price needs 2 to tie.

DD ahead of all three ( ;

Humm.... Really need to do groceries, but there's something of a snowstorm (by the 2010's definition of such a thing) in the Hull/Ottawa/Gatineau area, and the average driver here is a terrible moron.

And if I do groceries, I miss part of the game.

But I really need to eat. The Lady needs to eat, too.

Décisions, decisions...

I think I speak for everyone when saying that Fenway is always more than welcome here.

Ehhhh, I live in Hull and work in Gatineau (so Im in the luckiest 5%)... I can't imagine how the commute was this morning. Still snowing as well.

Thank god my IGA is near my place, I also need to do some groceries

I'm about a 5-minute walk from my job. I guess I'm the 1% everyone is talking about

But yeah, early december is always like that, with everyone having seemingly forgot what winter actually is.

Hummm... Absolutely expected.

 

[Runner77]

Hummm... Absolutely expected.

Yup, Therrien doesn't tinker with winning lineups.

Just hoping McCarron gets in there sometime soon otherwise he's better off being sent down.

Reading some comments on the Bruins board, I noticed how much scoring depth Montreal has been enjoying so far this season. I mean, they are rightfully finding Montreal's lineup without Galchenyuk terrible and lacking in big names except for the first line. So I did an non-exhaustive research (well, I only checked the high scoring teams) and only Montreal, Edmonton and NYR have 10 players that have scored at least 5 goals.

In fact, here's the goal total for each line tonight :

Montreal (without Galchenyuk and Desharnais 12 goals) :

1st : 20
2nd : 17
3rd : 21
4th : 3

Boston (without Beleskey's 2 goals) :

1st : 19
2nd : 26
3rd : 4
4th : 8
