Who are they rumored to trade to Detroit this time?

 

[Takeru]

Grinding VS puck possession, which will prevail?

Games against Wings are always fun to watch, tomorrow should be a nice evening.

Who are they rumored to trade to Detroit this time?

DD, Emelin and a second for Pavel.

Though game in perspective, would be happy to get a point.

 

[vokiel]

DD, Emelin and a second for Pavel.

Done deal

 

[Habs76]

DD, Emelin and a second for Pavel.

No. Terrible for the Habs

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

DD, Emelin and a second for Pavel.

...they'd have to throw in Mantha...

 

[LaP]

DD, Emelin and a second for Pavel.

DD is better than Datsyuk so this trade doesn't work.

 

[Tyson]

Price will have to bring his "A" game as usual. Better be ready from the puck drop because the Wings have a coaching staff that ensures they are ready to play once the ref drops it!

The wings are not getting nearly the credit they deserve. In terms of skill level up front, they are as dangerous as they come in the east, and a team that has been able to streak hard without their #1 goalie is a feat in itself.

This is another one of those statement games, and the habs have a streak of their own going in these types of games.

W at Boston 3-1
W vs caps 1-0
W in NYR 1-0
W vs Nash 2-1
W vs NYI 6-4
OTL vs pens 2-1
L vs Tampa 4-2

So that's 5-1-1 in statement games in this calendar year. It's also an indication to me that there are multiple "big game" players on this roster. Players that play above their usual standard when the spotlight is on.

This bodes well for a playoff run.

As long as they get it to OT I win money off my friend. Come on boys!

You forgot the best one. Habs beat the Pens 4-1 in Pittsburgh. Jan 3rd. With Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Kunitz, Perron in the lineup.

I really like Wings-Habs games, looking forward to this one!

Yeah, that was a bad game to leave out. Best game of the habs season in my opinion

So make it 6-1-1 in statement games this calendar year
