Pre-Game Talk: Bolts @ Habs

[Alaix]

Got some tickets for this game too! Right behind Pricey!

Hopefully we'll have a good game

Tough break for Tamp this afternoon as they lost Stammer for several weeks. Hopefully Habs can seize this opportunity and score another win.

Still waiting for confirmation who will get to sit this one as Briere is making a comeback. Most likely candidate is DD.

Likely lineup:

Galchenyuk - Eller - Gallagher
Pacioretty - Pleks - Gionta
Bournival - Briere - Bourque
Moen - White/DD - Parros

4-1 Mtl

Go Habs Go

Several weeks? It'll take longer than that for Stamkos to be able to put his full weight on that leg.

 

[Teufelsdreck]

Habs will have To face Ben Bishop who always resembles the second coming of Terry Sawchuk against us. The Lightning never stopped competing today, tomorrow will not be a cake walk.

They won't have Lecavalier either.

 

[Teufelsdreck]

Edler suspended when we played VAN , Nash Callahan when we played NYR. Seriously we get really lucky for that. But i feel really bad for TBL. Big loss for them

Whose side are you on? While I didn't wish harm to Stamkos (honestly) I recognize that injuries are a reality.

 

[777]

Stamkos is near the top of my list for players I wouldn't want to get injured

 

[No More Subban]

Sucks for Stamkos but Habs must take advantage of this.

3-1 Montreal. I would play Budaj though. Why not? Price doesn't really need to play a lot since we have a very reliable backup goalie.

 

[Shaby23]

Just win. No excuses

Galchenyuk-Eller-Gallagher
Bourque-Brière-Bournival
Dumont-White-Moen

David Desharnais, George Parros and Greg Pateryn will be healthy scratches.

The fourth line looks much better than in recent games, as does the 3rd without DD, but who knows how Briere will perform.

Yes agree there is no real weak links in our line-up tonight....good news to hear Prust is practicing again....
I hope Price stands on his head and beats a hot Bishop tonight.....I hate it when another hot goalie comes into our barn and steals a game............We need Price to start out dueling other hot goalies

That 3rd line scares me a bit. Brière is rusty and hasn't played C in a long time. I can see them struggling on the defensive side of things. Hope I'm wrong.
