:isles vs :habs

Team is so much better with Carey back in goal, home ice advantage should be an asset. A win is in the bag, well almost. Saturdays without Habs game suck, guess I'll watch a bit of Leafs vs Bruins and Fighting Irish vs Boston College.

Semin will certaintly be playing.

I would like that Holloway would be put the line-up and bench Byron.

Wonder if Bud will play, would be his 3rd game in a row. Loved him yesterday, just way more 'skill' than I thought, and intense...

Young guys can make a big difference if they have the spark. I think both 'Ghetto and Holloway want to make the best of their opportunities.

Pacioretty Plekanec Gallagher
Eller Galchenyuk Semin
Flash DD Weise
Ghetto Flynn Byron

Is what I expect to see

I think Semin will be 4th line again since MT doesn't trust him anymore:

Pacioretty Plekanec Gallagher
Eller Galchenyuk Andrighetto
Flash DD Weise
Byron Flynn Semin

1 midg/line

Did someone not post that Holloway was also called up? Ghetto, Tinordi and a 1st for Duchene?

One of the called up guys will probably not play as that would mean one of the healthy regulars is scratched.

You got it right, these were the lines at this morning practice.

I get the excitement at seeing prospects, but with our current depth I wouldn't get my hopes up that either Andrighetto or Holloway will be an improvement. Sure, I'm happy they're getting time to develop, but I'm not expecting either to contribute more than Smith-Pelley, Mitchell, or even Semin, at least not yet.

If we're lucky, one or both will have a temporary adrenaline spike that call-ups often have, and score.

That's an overly optimistic outlook typical of Charlie Brown. Unfortunately, the Habs have allowed themselves to be defeated by lesser teams even in home games with Price in goal.
