this will be a tough game to win

 

[CauZuki]

I think Habs get demolished , I'm sorry I don't see a positive outcome for this one.

Back to back games and Niemi , in Tampa...6-2 Bolts.

5-4 Habs

I also don't see a very positive result.

maybe the NHL should give 1/2 of a goal for hittng a post??????????????????

So a game could end up 3.5 to 2...lol

 

[cphabs]

This could be part of the healing process for Drouin.

 

[Forum93]

I wonder if Nemei is down 6-0 after 1st do ya see McNevin?...i dunno ,they might play AN no matter what even if it ends 10-1 ...

Julien's no dummy, he will pull him after 5 goals in the first.

Great work @donghabs98. Beautiful GDT!

 

[dm1371]

5-1 tampa

 

[Sterling Archer]

This is the perfect opportunity to let McNiven play, unless Niemi has a crazy good stats against Tampa. Play the kid. He’ll be tuned in like a mofo and Tampa knows nothing about him or any of his tendencies.

TB are right now, the best team in the league..........the boys are going to have to be ready, and will need some luck to stay in this one...

McNiven did not get called up because of merit, he was called up in an emergency situation. He is not NHL ready and does not rate a start.

A crab caught a ride from Cuba to Winnipeg.

His name is Fred, and now lives here. Alive.

Anything is possible.

Go Habs Go

 

[Milhouse40]

I'm not expecting a win, expeting a good old spanking.
Niemi always let in at least 3 goals in every games he's in so far this season and i don't expect less against the best team in the league on a back to back. If the Habs wants to have a shot,they will need to score a lot of goals.

But i dont see it.
5-1 for Tampa.

 

[peate]

Staying out of the box would be a good first step to avoid disaster.

 

[MXD]

I just want the team to not play like, you know, morons.
Result do not matter that much. Road game, back-to-back, won yesterday, yada, yada.

 

[Tyson]

Any team that wants to beat Tampa has to bring their very best game or they lose. Habs have a serious talk order tonight

 

[Born in 1909]

This is one game where 95% of the fans expect a loss. Hopefully it's close right until the end.

Avoid?

 

[Habssince89]

Predicting a 2-1 OT win. Not sure whose win it is, however...

 

[Positive Vibes]

feel like this is a loss,as long as we put up a respectable effort ill be very happy

 

[sharks9]

If we lose than less than 3 I'll be happy, not confident at all on a back-to-back with Niemi in net

 

[scrubadam]

Only hope is if TB has one of those games where the puck is bouncing and they don't get the puck luck, they will essentially have to beat themselves and the habs will need all the bounces.

3-1 on the trip right now, so TB/DAL if we can manage an OT or a win we can have a 4-2 trip, or 3-2-1 trip which would be a nice way to come home.

I am hoping for a point but its going to be tough.
