No superstar Eller for the Caps?

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I know it's the pre-season

But why is flynn on the first line ? It's not like he's a prospect or a future good player...

And Mitchell on the second line ?

Shaw - Mccarron - Radulov
Byron - Hudon - Danault
Matteau - Mitchell - Flynn
Gregoire - Friberg - MacMillan

That line up looks better and it's give a good chance to McCarron and Hudon to show their talent.

Clearly they've figured out what makes him tick and have managed to tap into his offensive potential that we could never uncover. They don't want to deploy him on us this early on. Our first regular season game against one another will obviously be his coming out party. Book it.

 

[mattyboy]

Ouff
those are two very weak rosters lol
guess ill be watching the Canada/Europe game

 

[Hackett]

Okay, if anyone cancels plans to watch this roster, you win at being the most hardcore fan ever.

Erlich Bachman, this is your mom and you.. you are not my baby.

Mr Dietz? Always liked him

and Djoos? As in Par Djoos?

 

[Habs]

These rosters should be playing in a 150 seat arena against beer league teams. Just awful.

Since he doesn't play tonight we won't get to see Eller against the Habs for a very long time. First game against the Caps is in mid-December.

Yeah there's a reason why attendance won't be good at pre season. Honestly the Habs should have held a couple of pre season games in smaller towns in Quebec (ones that have Q teams for example). Buildings would be packed and the crowd energy would be good and it's a chance at expanding the fan base a bit.

This is actually a good idea. But I bet it cost more to do that(travel, getting the building) and probably brings in less $$$ than a half full Bell. Not to mention you have to get the other teams/NHL to agree to play some pre season games in some rinky dink arean's. (compared to NHL arena's of course).

Nah. As in Beetle.

 

[Whitesnake]

I hope they find a way to give an offensive trio to Hudon before the end of the game.

 

[Runner77]

Kudos to those who are attending and paying full price for this type of extravaganza.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

We could have an outdoor game in Montreal next year
If we have one, where would it be?

 

[Tyson]

Damn no DD in the lineup...I wonder if Therrien will figure who to put on the ice on the PP?

Shaw - Flynn - Radulov
Is obviously the Plek line and Flynn is just a placeholder.

Byron - Mitchell - Danault
Might be the 4th line out of camp so good to make them gel early.

Matteau - McCarron - Hudon
Gregoire - Friberg - MacMillan
Mash of random prospects.

See Flynn/Mitchell

 

[Treb]

Radulov and Hudon are the only offensive players in that line-up, so it's gonna be hard

 

[Jee]

This game is going to be sloppy as ****

By then, he will be leading the league in points

 

[Team_Spirit]

McCarron is already talking like a vet.

We're declining the PP's tonight.
