Pre-Game Talk: Habs @ Bruins Wed Jan 12 @ 7pm EST

[Habs Halifax]

In a vacuum, yes.. but since he's close to coming off an ELC, it doesn't make that much sense to do it.

Might be of value if we can get him on a 8 year extension and it's a value contract. However we are getting 2 years older if we make this move. Think I would do it cause we lack guys up front and I'm a big Lafreneire fan. He would get more usage with the Habs like J Hughes is getting with the Devils. Right now, Lafreniere is getting limited min/game and 2nd PP unit.

Risky move that could pay off. Rangers might bite cause they need a center and it gives them a shot at it again.

Yay Hockey!

Or is it going to be "hockey"?

Tune in to find out!

It might end up looking like a game of ballon-balai

 

[WinterLion]

Pastrnak and Marchand with back to back 2 goal games. Can't see the Habs stopping these guys.

We are gonna crush them!

Could be a classic trap game for the Bruins but seriously though... Habs and Bruins are never complacent games.

 

[TheYardMachine]

Hockey is back and against the Bruins!
Hope we can get a nice intense game

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


f***.

Let's try.

 

[holy]

Free at last, free at last.

They tried to hold us back, they said we were too scary for the league, they thought we had too much covid, they left us for dead and threw dirt on us as we struggled for breath.

Well we’re back now baby. We’re back and we’re ready to jam some Bruins ass. Time to bend em over in the press box and go full Kodak Black on em.

 

[tazsub3]

I dont mind losing every game till year end, though not tonight. I just despise our one and true and always biggest rival !
however i expect to be disappointing lol

 

[Schwang]

They've been off for so long. They're going to get spanked.

 

[Rapala]

Yup. Although, Gorton still hasn’t caught up with all the stuff we know in here cause, we’re know-it-alls.

TRUE DAT

 

[Schwang]

Why the hell is Primeau on the taxi squad instead of playing games in Laval? Poulin should be the one on the taxi squad. Primeau needs to play.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I don't mind us winning tonight and losing in Chicago tomorrow!!!

Go Habs Go

I don't think they were mentally ready to start the season after a very short off season and it set the tone.

No way in Hell were they going to play that taxing style of game we saw in the post season. With no versatility in Bergevin's build it was essentially the only game we could play. I for one didn't see a playoff team with last year's roster (our conference/division) and expressed as much during the run. With the additions of Drouin Hoffman and an ineffective Caulfield while losing Price Weber Danault and Edmundson the gig was up before it ever started.

Remember that Winter Classic during the Foxhole year! It is Boston after all. Too bad Rask isn't ready to go.

7-1 Bruins

I had us in the top 10-20 range but yeah, we were a bubble team and with the roster turnover and injuries, it didn't go well. Remember our "one of the best group of wingers" in the NHL?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Not the first time Drouin and Ducharme have an animated conversation at practice.

I don't know about you but that statement was never even remotely close to escaping my mouth.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I'll admit. It escaped my mouth. . Still thought we were a bubble team but it did look solid on wing.

Didn’t know Drouin was capable of emotion, he certainly doesn’t play with any.

what a weak lineup
oh my sad days with covid and such

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Chiarot would be perfect on the Bruins for their top-4 LHD.

Chiarot-McAvoy
Grzlyck-Carlo

would be solid for the playoffs, normally I would hate trading with the Bruins but this is a weird year and maybe we can fleece them
