Pre-Game Talk: Boston @ Montreal: Tues. Nov. 5 @ 7:30pm

[MarkovsKnee]

1st game of the season between the 2 teams.

Bruins will be playing the 2nd half of a back to back. They play Pens Monday. Just announced on Twitter that Halak will get the Pens. Rask faces the Canadiens.

Should be a fun game.

I wish that we played the Bruins more often and I like it best when Boston is the home team, there is just something special about seeing the Habs win in Boston, all of the fans and their disappointed faces is something I will never lose interest in. The Bruins are still good and that's not a shock to me, Bergeron, the rat, and Pasta are top talents in this league and let's not overlook the 1A 1B situation that they have in net, not an easy team to beat. I hope that it is a good one.

We have 8 games against the Met this month given our probable non existent chances to finish third in our division a winning record against these teams is primordial if we hope to see the post season. Playing .500 hockey against them won't cut it IMO.

 

[peate]

We will win this game and, after in the lobby, there will be free pink kool-aid available.

Thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Montreal last weekend, watching the Habs beat the Leafs 5-2 in my new Jean Beliveau autographed Jersey.(Also bought Max Domi's jersey amongst other memorabilia.) Celebrating my 65th birthday in style, thanks to my son my gift from him the trip and party at Subois's after the game was sublime. did I mention we won $2200.00 on the Habs winning in regulation. Love Montreal and the people that helped make the trip unforgettable. Go Habs Go!!!...Hoping for another win against division leaders Boston Bruins, thumbs up to Max Domi, his book and game winner against Vegas the other night!!!...

Depending on which metro teams it is as i haven't checked im not holding out any hope for even a .500 record

If Rask plays his normal garbage game against us we have a chance.

In his last 8 games against us Rask is 6-1-1.

It’s up there I agree.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Bruins are damn good. This is the best Bs team I think I've ever seen. They're better than the cup winning team they had in 2011. Their cross ice passes are crazy and they've got so much offensive talent.

yeah he sure struggled against us before 2016.

 

[BLONG7]

Bruins have been crazy good after they fired Clod.....getting Cassidy has paid off big time.

Welcome to the Club and happy retirement.

The trick is to get to him early. (or it used to be)

It's a weird schedule. We only had 1 game against the Metro in October - a SOL to Carolina.

8 of our 13 games in November are against the Metro.

2 vs Philly (1 @ home, 1 in Phil), 2 vs Columbus (1 @ home, 1 in Columbus), 2 vs NJ (both in Montreal), 1 vs NYR (in Montreal) & 1 vs Washington (away game).

I definitely think we can go .500. Splitting the three 2 game series is doable. Beat NYR, loss to Caps.

In his last 8 games against us Rask is 6-1-1.

Ouch

The Canadiens have recalled forward Ryan Poehling from the AHL’s Laval Rocket. He will be at practice on Monday. Forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi has been placed on the injured reserve list (groin).


what should we expect?

Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Drouin - Domi - Armia
Lehkonen - Poehling - Byron
Cousins - Thompson - Suzuki

?

A Lehk-Poehling-Suzuki line might be fun

Our Cassidy is playing second fiddle behind the bench. His turn will come.

 

[Tuggy]

Always fun when the Bruins come to town.

Hope it's a good game.

Was my first idea too, but I don't think that Julien will try 2 kids on the same line just yet.
