Pre-Game Talk: Joisey @ MTL Sat. Nov. 16 7:00 PM ET

[Runner77]

Yes, one of those dreaded back to backs are upon us except that both games are at 7:00 ET, so we're still getting a Saturday night game.

About the Washington game, it's going to be tough. How tough? This tough ...

As for the Joisey game, it's going to be something seeing PK back at the BC and how he fares against a barrage of Gallagher testosterone.

How will we fare? What are you most looking forward to?

Which game for Price and which for Kartwheel Kinkaid?

How many points following both games? Take the poll!

Washington is a litmus type of game..........but winning in Washington is almost impossible.............we should beat the Devils on saturday though..............Does Kinkaid get the Devils at home?

 

[JianYang]

I go price against Washington, and Kinkaid against Devils.

I know it's taboo to not give price a Saturday home game, but I'd give Kinkaid a bone here. He must have this game circled since the schedule came out.

 

[LeHab]

Price will get a home start on Saturday 10/10 times.

 

[Rapala]

Washington 11-0-2 in their last thirteen, 2 points out of that game is a veritable dream.

 

[azcanuck]

just watched the coyotes beat the Caps.

Caps are big and very skilled. [mod]

Maybe the Caps will start that rookie sieve like they did against the coytoes and we'll have a chance, otherwise it dont look good.

 

[sandviper]

Being bold and predicting two wins. Think Washington will be closely fought, perhaps OT. For some reason, I see 10+ goals being scored Saturday and we’ll get an ugly 7-5 win.

Gonna be weird seeing my man 76 in a Devils jersey though. Never much of a Devils fan, so I won’t care as much as I did with Nashville.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Washington 11-0-2 in their last thirteen, 2 points out of that game is a veritable dream.

And now they have finally a good goalie.

disagree they have to lose sometime. We'll pour it on hard and Carey has been great. I think we'll win a good game and then eek out a boring win against NJ

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Washington is going to kill us with their PP.

And Jersey is supposed to be a free win.

So I say two.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

The way the Habs have played this year they'll lose to the Devils and beat the Caps

 

[angusyoung]

Gonna be a good test against an elite team,Habs better bring it. NJ plays on Friday as well,so no reason to scuff it up.

 

[Milhouse40]

Caps are probably the best team in the league right now.
I'll be really happy if we can get a point out of this one, but this is only happening if Price is in net.

My bet is Kinkaid gets the call.
Habs lose to Caps, Win against Devils.

 

[Big Lurk]

Washington 11-0-2 in their last thirteen, 2 points out of that game is a veritable dream.

Every streak comes to an end my friend!

 

[DangerDave]

I have more faith in the Habs beating Washington than I did vs CBJ. We do well vs the good teams with our fast forecheck. And aggression in the neutral zone. Interestingly, its that very style which we're weak against

 

[Tuggy]

Washington is the best team in the league and with them at home...good luck.

Still, I go with Price against them because he's dialed in at the moment. Maybe he can keep them in the game to snatch one.

Give Kinkaid the Devils on Saturday.

Hopefully get to see KK back this weekend

They sent Poehling back down for a reason. KK should be ready to go.

 

[domiwroze]

People said the same thing with the Bruins when they were 11-1-2 before playing us.

Caps : We always find a way to win those.
Devils : We always find a way to lose these.

 

[Saundies]

Washington 11-0-2 in their last thirteen, 2 points out of that game is a veritable dream.

This just means they're due for a loss! Lol.

Personally, I'd play Kinkaid in this game. Not because I think we're going to lose, but give him the first night on a B2B for once and give Price the Saturday home game which he is usually a rock in.

I'm gonna predict 3/4 points.

 

[The Real Timo]

I predict Lars with GWG

 

[The Real Timo]

Prudence avec Kotkaniemi et Poehling

Translation - they need to become better people.

 

[Roadhouse]

How will we fare? What are you most looking forward to?

Does PK not play on the 2nd pair though? I'm thinking we might see more of Domi and Armia in PK's face than Gally....

 

[Ozmodiar]

Should be Price vs the Caps. Gotta try to beat the best.
Price back to back if they lose Friday.

1 point > the Leafs with 2 games in hand. lol

Price back to back if they lose Friday.

I think Price will make that call. And I think he will go against the Caps. Doesn't it make sense to play your best player against the best team? Again, logic and Habs doesn't usually go hand in hand but perhaps for once.

While that should be the case i expect less than a 1% chance Price starts both games
