Pre-Game Talk: Habs visit Miami on Tuesday

[GordonGraham]

I expect the loser point in NJ to be the only point for this 4 game trip

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

I prefer Miami myself.

Your avatar tells me that you might be slightly biased

Pet peeve of mine: the Panthers don't play in Miami

Must be why they're called the Florida Panthers.

Can't go wrong!

Win or lose, I imagine we still can get #1 pick if we want it. Not much difference in top 5. No clear cut top prospects. Usually these kind of drafts only takes a third or so to move up 2 or 3 slots.

Your opening post literally says "Please keep it to hockey talk and not tank talk ....:

Your post that followed the above, said: "Like I said, I think we'll be in trouble, which will make some of our 'fans' happy."

I wonder why being in trouble would make those particular fans "happy" -- why would they want the Habs to be in trouble if not for the benefits of finishing low in the standings? That's tank talk and you engaged in it yourself.

All I want to see is our team, um, pushed and face adversity. I want to see our goalies make tape-to-tape passes like the other night. I would be happy with more inexperienced youths getting ice-time and veterans resting to sooth their aches and pains. While watching Suzuki and Caufield rack up points would make me happy, so would hearing the home team goal horns to keep me alert and attentive during the game.

Neither does the Miami football team, but they are still Miami.

Metro Miami is still considered Miami.

They play in Lauderdale -

Will we be seeing Harris and Barron

Will we be seeing Harris and Barron

Harris isn't gonna play on his first day with the team, he'll likely get 2-3 practices before that

 

[Hacketts]

roses are red
violets are blue
I hope we get mauled by a panther

 

[WeThreeKings]

5 bucks on the Habs.
Either I'm 15$ richer or the tank hums along.

Who?

U of M is in Coral Gables and Panthers are technically in Sunrise, FL..

Panthers - Sunrise technically a suburb of Ft. Lauderdale six miles away

I'd like to see Shueneman pivot the first PP line. IMO he's got great IQ and a solid passing / shot combo with good creativity. He's the player i'm more surprised about this year

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

I expect a win. Players are not burdened with any real pressure at this point, only to play, and they seem their best when "loosey goosey" (Don Cherry quote).

 

[sampollock]

Definitely a good time to do that, with a sizable number of meaningless games left to the season.

It'll also give MSL a head start for next year in being able to assess the new players and then see how they've progressed at training camp.

yup
like a spring training camp, to get ready for the fall

Wideman has been doing a good job on the top pp unit.
He has 5 powerplay points in the last 8 games.
