Need to keep the wins flowing to keep pace with Tampa and Detroit.

We've played less games than TB, should be fine as long as we keep winning. Detroit is the surprise, year after year they keep getting in POs despite many people predicting a decline.

 

[David Suzuki]

Should be a pretty good game. I say we win it 4-1

 

[GREMLIN]

White was a cool guy, happy that he's still in the NHL

Datsyuk and Zetterberg have been healthy this year. That helps a lot. Tatar seems to have panned out for them now as well, as he has already hit 20 goals.

 

[Schwang]

I'll be there so they better win!

Agree. Remember the series against Ottawa, he was such a threat to watch.

We dont have anyone like him or Lapierre left on our roster. It's not that bad of a thing but it's certainly an entertainment missing

Well I believe the message to Bergevin is clear, we need help upfront. No way we go into the payoffs with four rookies forwards in the lineup + two grinders in our top 9

Couldn't be clearer, though I'm sure Bergevin is well aware of our needs. It would be VERY surprising if no move is made before the deadline.

Work hard play hard

go habs go!

Welcome to the Carey Price show, Philadelphia.

 

[Hullois]

That DLR kid, he's a good one.

3 rookies. DLR, Thomas, Sekac. And Sekac's barely a rookie at 22 years old with pro experience in the KHL.
Also, I think it's fair to say Weise is a bit more than a grinder. Prust yes, I feel better having him on the 4th, but I'm fine with Weise in his spot on the 3rd.
The real need is a top 6 winger, as we all know.

 

[Hoople]

Wish we still had White on our 4th line.

 

[Haaabs]

I miss White. Good team guy and a good 4th liner. Not playing him at all in the playoffs last year sucked. I remember whenever we were losing, you'd see him be one of the guys that was absolutely furious during intermission at the way we were playing.

Always fun playing against the Flyers.
They have Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds, Read, Raffl.... and I'm more afraid of what Umberger always ends up doing against us.

Hab fans have to like the 4th line here, our young Bulldogs line, one that can match the speed & talents of Tampa Bay's Triplet's line, and nullify them as well as score.

 

[zzoo]

I really like the fact that the organization plays the young (DLR, Thomas, Bournival, Andrighetto) instead of Malhotra, Bowman or Tangradi.
Good job !
