Hopefully the lines are changed for this game but that's what I have for now

 

[Gravity]

Oilers offense outside that first line is just putrid. At the same time, we haven't had the talent of that 1 line in 40 years.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

We've done pretty great against the oilers this year, so hopefully this breaks us out of our slump

 

[Rapala]

Are we starting Allen because Price has history in Edmonton and it isn’t very good.

 

[azcanuck]

It's not important to win it's more important to put Price in net because he makes 10 million a year and you have to justify that.

 

[Lucky Luke]

I like our chances as we head to the finish line.
If the Habs split their games from here on in, the Flames will need to win 10 out of 12 in order to tie us.

GO HABS GO!

Must’ve missed Allen’s record over last 6GP as his load management increased, or as Stephane Waite said, “we know Allen breaks down when used often and becomes ineffective”...

 

[Lucky Luke]

I would try a Byron-Staal-Perry or a Drouin-Staal-Perry combination.

 

[Runner77]

A lot of Hab fans now, probably ...

 

[MarkovsKnee]

All Oilers need to do is get McDavid and Draisaitl out against Staal as much as possible and we're cooked.

Expecting another loss.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Hopefully the losses keep coming and Calgary+Vancouver keep winning.

I'm hoping missing the playoffs will lead to a new GM and a rebuild finally.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Better keep everything the same. Cant change whats working

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Can't wait to watch Jonathan Drouin skating around Mcdavid and outplaying him all game long with his genius puck possesion running in circle with the puck until he drops it.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Any chance Caufield plays?

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Hopefully the losses keep coming and Calgary+Vancouver keep winning.

I'm hoping missing the playoffs will lead to a new GM and a rebuild finally.

even with a new gm it would be very hard to rebuild with the contracts we have

Price
Weber
Petry
Drouin
Anderson
Toffoli
Gallagher
Chiarot

Etc i dont see a new gm rebuilding evendoh i agree that we will never win with that core,we need to focus on KK,Suzuki,Romanov,Caufield and Primeau and keep adding young talent

 

[Captain97]

I think Merril is clear to play Correct? Swap out Kulak is my guess if they are willing to put him in right away. If not next game.

 

[No More Subban]

@ people who think MB will get fired if the team keeps losing. A new GM won't change anything anyway. Lets be real.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

We’re making the playoffs y’all.

 

[McGees]

I would try a Staal Drouin Lehkonen line....in the stands.

 

[Habs13]

Edmonton are going to be motivated for revenge and the Habs are flippin' awful...

GO HABS GO!

IF...

Well I hope one of the new D is paired with Weber because that is a real problem. Unfortunately I can see DD leaving Chiarot there just to see if the same thing leads to different results, but hopefully that won't go too many games.

Big test for the Danault line.

 

[domiwroze]

I would try a Byron-Staal-Perry or a Drouin-Staal-Perry combination.

Play Drouin - Staal - Byron then bench their line after 1 shift.
Even then i'd be scared to play them so bench them all.

Evans and Caufield in, Drouin or Byron and Staal out.

Toffoli-Suzuki-Armia
Tatar-Danault-Byron/Caufield
Drouin/Caufield-KK-Anderson
Lehkonen-Evans-Perry
