Godin says not to expect any changes in the line-up for tomorrow.
on defense - but we might see one of the kids (Poehling/Evans/Belzile/Hudon) in for Weise

For me, it would be Ouellet out for either Fleury or Juulsen. Weal and Weise out for Evans & Poehling. I would live and die with the kids in the line-up.
Is Weise potentially coming out based on any reports/what Julien said? Or (like me) what you hope might happen?

I would say that Folin carries a risk of effing up and costing at least a goal cause he is just another AHLer who wouldn't be anywhere near the big club on a decent NHL team.Agreed but we will probably see Julien go with a dependable no risk Folin over the kids
I don't see how Julien can justify keeping Weise in the lineup. WHAT does he do?Is Weise potentially coming out based on any reports/what Julien said? Or (like me) what you hope might happen?
Weal, at this stage of his career, is a bit more solid with the puck than Poehling. I now he had that bad pass, but how many times have we seen Poehling turn over the puck when he has it on his stick and has no awareness of his surroundings, or when he mishandles a pass, which lead to goals or grade A scoring chances?
I'd like to see Evans in for Weise. This would allow Domi to jump up the lineup and still have another option at 4c to continue rolling 4 lines.

Kulak was really good yesterdayI am assuming that Clod is going with the same lineup... Because hey, they were so good no need to try and tweak/improve anything.
By playing Weise, Ouellet, Weal, Kulak and Drouin Habs automatically give other teams a 5 player advantage.
Last nights game was pretty entertaining I must say. Suzuki looked very good in this game. How many takeaways did he get in this game? Seemed like he had a lot. The Habs have a very good one in this young feller.
KK also looked faster and stronger to me which was also great to see. This Habs team might lack high end talent right now but they still work their asses off. I didn't expect the Habs to get swept so we'll see how the rest of the series goes but I expect to see better from the Pens going forward.
Suzuki had 3 takeaways, 0 giveaways 2 hits & 2 blocked shots.
Kotkaniemi had 1 takeaway, 1 giveaway, 3 hits & 0 blocked shots.
Both looked good. Suzuki had himself a hell of a game. Kotkaniemi didn't stand out as much as Suzuki, but he played real well. And you see the improvement in his skating and strength already.
Crucial game, series pivots on this one.
