Pre-Game Talk: Canadiens face Rangers in home opener - Saturday at 7

[Le Tricolore]

It'll be nice to see the packed Bell Centre again. Too bad the team's coming off two losses, but I'm sure the fans will welcome the defending Western Conference champions with open arms.

If making it to the finals last summer means we have a different intro other than the stupid torch to centre ice thing, it's even better than the Stanley Cup.

GO HABS!

I'll miss the game and I'm not even sad

[angusyoung]

Holt know what he's talking about. Listen to him Dom

 

[peate]

Can they make it 3 in a row?

 

[OldCraig71]

Something is wrong with this team, yeah, I know the D is bad but I get the sense that aren't there for each other, they aren't playing as a team at all.

 

[Paddy17]

Something is wrong with this team, yeah, I know the D is bad but I get the sense that aren't there for each other, they aren't playing as a team at all.

They've had time to practice the "system".

 

[The Great Weal]

Something is wrong with this team, yeah, I know the D is bad but I get the sense that aren't there for each other, they aren't playing as a team at all.

That's on the coach. Nobody seems committed.

Well you got Perreault,Paquette and Toffili that have looked more than terrible and they are hurting the lines they are on for starters hindering any cohesiveness of line ability.

Something is wrong with this team, yeah, I know the D is bad but I get the sense that aren't there for each other, they aren't playing as a team at all.

That's exactly the way I see it, last season the team overall wasn't very skilled but team chemistry was through the roof, totally different this season, seems there's no cohesion at all. Season's young, only 2 games in, but it sure isn't pretty looking.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

So Paquette is actually going to run through a wall for this team now, right?

 

[OldCraig71]

Well you got Perreault,Paquette and Toffili that have looked more than terrible and they are hurting the lines they are on for starters hindering any cohesiveness of line ability.

It's not just them though, Suzuki, Caufield, Evans and Gallagher are sucking big time. So far, it's Anderson and Drouin and Dvorak that have shown up in at least an acceptable form.

 

[WeThreeKings]

So the game will start at 9 after they've exhumed all the corpses, passed the torch around and seal clapped for all the accomplishments of being a progressive organization 50 years ago.

That is a problem. Suzuki looks fine with CC,but Toffili kills that line and the Evans line is a disaster right now and poor Arturi saddled with the leftovers.
The line with JD, Anderson and Dvorak have a good blend that compliment one another,the other lines don't have that.

And it might be over by 9:15 because the Rangers are up 4-0.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

And it might be over by 9:15 because the Rangers are up 4-0.

Doubt game actually starts until well after 9:15 with the opening ceremonies, so you’re in tough prediction wise

 

[JustAHabFan]

Just another loss. If Sabres beat us easily then I don't know how we can win against the Rangers, a much better team than the Sabres.

 

[LaP]

I predict a win NY is not a very good team and it's our home opener.

 

[26Mats]

Just another loss. If Sabres beat us easily then I don't know how we can win against the Rangers, a much better team than the Sabres.

Even the Sabres last year got wins.

We'll definitely beat some teams this year that we shouldn't.

 

[habdynasty]

Any team can win on any night , I predict the first win will be Saturday.

 

[TheBlob]

They better win this one. I feel the heat already.
