Hopefully Drouin and Weber are close. Will need them next week for sure

 

[Roadhouse]

This guy doesn't like to lose. Bet he shows up alright at the BC. Sometimes wish we had him (from last year's TDL).

 

[Habs100]

Detroit will be looking for revenge.

 

[De Montreal]

Not expecting a win there.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Expecting another win. 4-2. Next week things get tough, so hopefully Weber & Drouin are back soon.

What's really odd about this thread is how it wasn't preceded by the usual pre-game thread.

The only way enough interest might have been garnered for one is if say the teams had proceeded to a trade with each other prior to the game.

Barring that, everyone maybe just wanted to enjoy the last game a little longer, without having to worry too soon about this one. And why not, considering how bad the start of the season was.

Athanasiou playing 4th line Center is some 4d chess by Blashill

Playing the Red Wings on a December 2? And right after playing the Wings in Detroit?

Uh oh.

This was December 2nd, and right after playing the Wings in Detroit too:

Great GDT, love the effort folks put in on these, we are spoiled.

I don't know what to expect tonight, to be honest. A win?

With Carey Price healthy and on his game, I know we have a chance. It's just a matter of the boys producing.

I have a gut feeling Maximillion Kolenda Paccioretty has a big game tonight, and his last game against Detroit was the start of another of his streaks.

Edit: Is it true? Joe "Norris" Morrow sitting while Mete is playing?

 

[Tyson]

Habs need to not get complacent.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I really long for the day when we can ice a healthy roster... sigh...

 

[BLONG7]

Anything confirmed on #92 or #6 for tonight?

Drouin & Weber are both skating in the morning skate. They may both play. Sounds like Drouin is game time decision tho.

If this year doesn't show the major flaws in the playoff format, I don't know what will. The team that comes 2nd in our division, has the easiest path to the cup. Makes no sense.

The old format was 100x times more effective at getting the best teams into the conference finals.

our division is so f***ing bad.

Our division is definitely bad, but the new format is awesome- don't be surprised if the NBA follows suit quickly.

Man if Mete is here to stay and now we've got Jerabek sitting... I think I'd try and move Benn.

I personally don’t like it. I thought the 1-8 was much better. I don’t mind the divisions but the top 2 from each division should get the top 2 seeds and the other 6 seeds should go to the best teams. And yes, I know this works against us this year. I don’t really buy into the rivalry thing.

 

[Nedved]

hmmm...

Jerabek has done nothing wrong to lose his spot. He's been able to move the puck from the backend and created offense.

if that's the 6 we go with tonight, lots of red flags go off on earning your ice time. it's the wrong choice and it smells of a nasty work environment. I would question resigning with the habs if I were Jerabek.

what do you like about the new format?

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

what do you like about the new format?

Well the bracket is very fan friendly... as well it makes for a great rivalry series for those 2nd/3rd seeds.

With all the games on tonight, no way this one makes my screen

Different vibe here now.

More posters here WANT the Habs to lose than in the past. The narratives have been laid out and scripted and unfortunately, Habs winning runs counter to those.

Go Habs Go!!
