Pre-Game Talk: Habs/Flames Tomorrow 6:30 PM Time for the Caufield Show?

[Habs Icing]

Don't see them pulling off this one... Last game of a long road trip, back to back demoralizing losses, a calgary team that is playing physical and intense and will be raring to go to chase their playoff hopes, 3rd game in 4 nights (which means we'll get an even worse version of Weber)... i'll be surprised, and impressed, if they can dig down and find enough to pull off a win.

after that... back home for a 4 game homestand with leafs 2x, jets and sens... find myself wishing for 1 of 2 outcomes... 5 straight wins to lock up a playoff spot, or 5 straight losses to create definitive playoff miss and hometown embarrassment that forces Molson's hand in firing MB.

In other words no matter what happens you're a happy camper.

 

[Habs Icing]

Frolik would help too

Help with what? Carrying CC's equipment into the lockerroom/

 

[Kojo]

I hope they play him but let's temper our expectations. He's not going to score 3 goals in his first game and score another goal on the shootout like Poehling did a couple years ago. Although that would be nice.

 

[Habs Icing]

Putting all this pressure on a 20 year old who has yet to play a single game. What can go wrong.

He can score 15 goals in the next 10 games, drag the Habs into the playoffs and save MB's job.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

He can score 15 goals in the next 10 games, drag the Habs into the playoffs and save MB's job.

If it happens, I would give MB another 3 years contract... I would be that Happy.

 

[Zorba]

It’s a Holy Week for us Greek Orthodox. My lit a candle in front of all her icons today in her kitchen my dad told me and she said a prayer
The habs Will go 3-1 this week

Reading this board is depressing

So dont

 

[Just Linda]

So out lines for next game? My guess

Toffoli - Suzuki - Anderson
Lehkonen - Kotkaneimi - Armia
Evans - Danault - Perry
Gustafson - Staal - Frolik

Out: Byron (LBI), Tatar (LBI), Drouin (sick)

 

[26Mats]

Cole at this point would be using a fire extinguisher to put out a forest fire.

Send him back down and let him do well in the A. Bring him back in next year with Bouchard, new GM and the rest of the new coaching staff Bouchard brings

well we lost by two goals last game. He may be capable of getting two goals/points. And, when we lose, we often lose by one goal - or lose in the shoutout or OT.

My God, look at that lineup!

 

[bonneaug]

If Caufield dresses, he should stay as far away as Danault as possible. Suzuki or KK are the only options.

I’ll vomit if they give the worst passing center the 2 best scorers.

Why? The Danault hate is stupid. This fanbase is sick.

I mean it's not like Anderson vats goalies with elite snipes, his powerhouse style fits well sign Danault's game. I'd rather Suzuki sit in the spot between them but yeah, Danault isn't a bad for for Anderson

Danault shows up to game like ...

 

[Miller Time]

what can i say... I've got a sunny disposition

Ha, meant to put Suzuki in there somewhere.

 

[Rapala]

Why? The Danault hate is stupid. This fanbase is sick.

It has nothing to do with hate. You'd have to be missing a few marbles to line Cole Caufield up with your shut down center who's job it is to go up against the oppositions top lines. We are talking about a raw rookie out of College. Do you think his two games with Laval has prepared him for that role.

Both Suzuki and KK would benefit/need the addition of his speed on their line. Danault Lehk and Armia would be fine as our shutdown line.
