GDT: Coyotes V.S. Canadiens OCT 20 7:30PM ET

[Binary Code]

Thanks for the early morning laugh. Your writing portrays your situation and said obnoxious co-worker very well. However, OEL is the best, clutchiest defenseman in the league right now. Your obvious lack of hockey knowledge will cost you some points. He stands alone on top of mountain Norris, soon to joy the likes of Larry Robinson and Nicklas Lidstrom. In fact, OEL is already among those legends.

OEL is love, OEL is life.

SuperNHL pairing with Karlsson

Big 5-2 win for the Habs tonight with Chucky scoring his 1st of the year!

 

[Zorro]

Since everyone is getting a hat trick, so will Chucky!

 

[yianik]

1. Neat.
2. It's neat but still blasphemy, LOL.
3. Interesting disciple included.
4. Will the Galchenyuk centering Lehkonen and Radulov line should be tried now be the everyone sees this but MT story line this year ?

 

[llamateizer]

I dont see putting back Price while Montoya just got off of a shutout

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

id have Price on the bench tonight as a backup. I know this is his team but he was EXTREMELY sick

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

I wouldn't be all that opposed to having Price sit this game out, make sure he's fully recovered and got his strength back for Saturday's game in Boston.

1) Montoya has played remarkably well so far, he recorded a shutout last game, so his confidence is probably through the roof.

2) The entire team was great against Pittsburgh, I'd say ice the exact same line-up from Tuesday night.

3) Price was very sick and lost 7-8lbs, it takes a little bit of time before that strength comes back, let him sit as the backup tonight, at least so he can get the feel for dressing for the game, but ultimately let Montoya play.

• He wasn't infected with seasonal influenza, as that's caused by a virus, and Price was on antibiotics, so that means no viral infection, it suggests a bacterial infection, such as bronchitis. Bronchitis is no joke, what it is, is inflammation of the bronchiole tubes which is what carries air that your breathe to the lungs so that gas exchange can take place. When they are inflamed, breathing is difficult (among other symptoms, such as a productive cough, fever, etc.). I'd sit him until he's absolutely fully recovered..take it from the doctor-to-be

4) The Coyotes are a weaker team IMO than Boston, Montoya should be able to handle it no problem.

Although it is a home game, maybe they really want to let Price play his first game back in front of the home crowd...

If your franchise player is ready to go, you play him.

And honestly, this is a better game to come back with than in Boston on Saturday.

Needs final go ahead from them I suppose.

Habs have horrible record against Coyotes lately. If Price plays he better be ready.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Fantastic GDT!! I originally came from Winnipeg and had followed the Jets since a wee lad, now I live here in Montreal and like Habs hockey. The Jets when they were stripped from Winnipeg for relocation to an unscrupulous scavenger market like Phoenix left a bitter taste in me, even today. Just want to throw out there that I still have a burning white hot hatred of the Coyotes, I know Jesus Price would call for forgiveness and all but I request humbly before God the Habs, pummel the vile "Yotes" into fine brick red powder and blow them away into the nether regions of oblivion. I say this in Jesus Prices name, amen.

I think they will do a quick check up and leave it up to him. So he probably plays.

#Habs Price is currently meeting with medical staff. Sounds like he'll be a gametime decision.

John Lu @JohnLuTSNMtl 40m
#Habs Price has left the ice after 30 minutes. Could mean he's starting or that was his "see how I feel" test which he alluded to yesterday.

It sounds as though Price will be a game time decision.

 

[David Suzuki]

It sounds as though Price will be a game time decision.

He is playing.

 

[President Markov]

 

[DaNaultinus]

He is playing.

WOOHOO!

 

[FloJack]

Not sure which of Flynn/Byron are in so I guessed Byron. Carr could be sitting again. IDK

I spoke to Michel earlier today and he confirmed Price is starting 99%.

You did a great job, I was just being silly.

It will be very nice to see Price finally play a Habs game this season.

from NHL.com :

BROSSARD - The wait is finally over. Carey Price will be back between the pipes on Thursday night against the Arizona Coyotes at the Bell Centre.

The Canadiens' starter recently came down with a severe flu that caused him to lose seven to eight pounds, but now he's ready to return to active duty.

It will mark Price's first regular-season start since November 25, 2015 against the New York Rangers. That's when he suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee and was forced to miss the remainder of the season.

Before watching from the sidelines last year, the Canadiens' No. 31 was enjoying an outstanding start to the season, posting 10 wins - including two shutouts - in 12 games, along with a 2.06 goals-against average and a .934 save percentage.

Head coach Michel Therrien, who admitted on Wednesday that he's looking forward to seeing the veteran netminder back in goal, would surely like to see him pick up where he left off before falling ill.

Three weeks ago, Price helped to pace Team Canada to the World Cup of Hockey title in Toronto.
