Finally a real test. Good opponent on the road.

 

[Gros Bonhomme]

Need to win this one. My GF is a Sens fan and if we lose i'm not gonna hear the end of it.

4-2 Habs.

[Theosis]

Just realized we get the Sens back-to-back again this weekend after playing the Sabres...

 

[Tabarouette]

Well...

I wouldve put the "Good opponent" in bold instead

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Go Habs Go

Should be fun for the new players on the team seeing the building pretty much full of Habs fans

Any news regarding Spezza?

 

[Jigger77]

Both teams playing back to back. Budaj gets the nod. Should be interesting.

 

[Dana Scully]

Go Habs Go

Any news regarding Spezza?

Still listed as day-to-day but I wouldn't count on him playing.

Sens fans here

Spezza is Day to day/Game time decision Everybody as the flu so maybe the line will be switch up

Regin is most likely playing in the bottom six if anybody is sitting out it will probably be Latendresse

And Zibby probably won`t start on the 4th line today he was the 2nd stars in last game and our best player not name Andersson

Good luck tonight

Edit: Subban not playing?

 

[cjbhab*]

Subban not playing?

From what I've heard on TSN 690 Saturday is most likely.

 

[Habs Icing]

Need to win this one. My GF is a Sens fan and if we lose i'm not gonna hear the end of it.

4-2 Habs.

Yeah but the chances of you getting some will be better.

 

[Balk]

I have an objection to the peeks line being listed as the third seeing as he is playing more than twenty minutes per game.

 

[Tabarouette]

From what I've heard on TSN 690 Saturday is most likely.

they seemed pretty confident he'd be playing tonight on AC yesterday yet again, why should I ever listen to anything RDS says

Thanks, sucks for you guys but he's a Habs killer glad he is out

 

[ROSSter]

Budaj has been confirmed in nets.

 

[Dr Gonzo]

Here's hoping for another good home win!

We will have to see.. TSN radio was only speculating.

 

[Aspirine]

I have an objection to the peeks line being listed as the third seeing as he is playing more than twenty minutes per game.

I second this. Love the kids and all, but it's still the 3rd line (and awesome at it too).
I say Budaj rides his flow to a shutout, with goals going in left and right for the Habs!

 

[Tuggy]

I have an objection to the peeks line being listed as the third seeing as he is playing more than twenty minutes per game.

Yeah, the Pleks line is easily the #1 line right now.

 

[417]

From what I've heard on TSN 690 Saturday is most likely.

I hope they start him off on the road...and not at home

 

[Born in 1909]

I hope they start him off on the road...and not at home

I will bet he passes his physical and plays 10 min tonight.

Shut up the damn lecherous media circus.

 

[Gary320]

I highly doubt he plays tonight.
Nor should he. He hasn't had one practice with the team.
There is no rush to put him on the ice, give him the rest of the week to practice and get into the new system.

I'm sure he plays this weekend though

 

[Phil Parent]

3-1 Habs.

Plekanec, Galchenyuk, Markov
