Who replaces Beaulieu for game 4? Gonchar or Weaver if he's out with a concussion?
I'd probably play Weaver in game 4 vs the Senators and Gonchar vs the Tampa/Detroit (if Beaulieu isn't back by then).
Pateryn. Young legs and hitting. Gonchar will get killed by sens forwards pounding him every shift and start coughing up the puck.
And you are already talking next series. Not a good idea. Don't take this game lightly. It is possible to come back from 3-0 and it is happening more.
Sens do not give a **** now. They will play to win just this game, and after that, it is 3-1, not 3-0.
If Sens come back with 2 or 3 wins, that is way more damage to Players that need a rest, including Price, and possible injuries every single extra minute played.
This is a big game. Habs need to win if they want to go far.
