[Dr Gonzo]

I'm looking forward to Gallagher playing 97% of his ice time inside Holtby's crease.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Win, please.

 

[Theosis]

Our 1st line really needs to start getting going. I know Cole is a slow starter, but they've been quite brutal.

 

[Hackett]

I would be shocked if Holtby starts this one

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

I would be shocked if Holtby starts this one

Neuvirth is.

 

[Trist and Sea]

A goal or two from our first line would be awesome ! And a win, obviously.

 

[LeHab]

Eller ridding the bench for the 2nd game?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Would be huge to come home with the 2pts

Go Habs Go

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Eller ridding the bench for the 2nd game?

Therrien said no changes so unless an injury, he is watching from the press box again

 

[Theosis]

Eller ridding the bench for the 2nd game?

Probably. I don't see MT changing the lines at all.

 

[Dr Gonzo]

Neuvirth is.

So we're that team eh?

Back up city, here we come!

 

[Yozzy]

Are the MTL lineups confirmed? Didn't Gorges and Diaz play together last game?

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

So we're that team eh?

Back up city, here we come!

Pretty sure it has to do with Holtby having a GAA over 5 and no being very good in the first two games.

 

[Habskrieg]

Hope we win. But I think we lose this. Ovechkin usually plays well against us. Plus, the Caps will desperately want to get a win after 2 losses. I expect the Caps to come out strong, as opposed to the Panthers.

They win this 3-1. :/

 

[pine*]

hmm Ovechkin hasn't scored yet?

 

[Dr Gonzo]

Pretty sure it has to do with Holtby having a GAA over 5 and no being very good in the first two games.

That's probably a big factor.

They're playing 4 games in 6 nights as well.

This is the real lineup.

[Habssince89]

Okay I'm going to say 3-2 Habs in OT.

Gionta
Cole
Emelin (OT)

OV
Alzner

 

[x15Kotkaniemi15x]

Doesnt matter how, but the 2 points are a necessity! Lets go boys!

 

[Habssince89]

Things I'm excited for:
Markov breakout passes
Gallagher being the ball of energy that he is
Bourque/Diaz/Prust continuing playing strong
Our newfound grit
Our Powerplay

Things I'm worried about:
Discipline
DD line being cold [we need them now in the short season no time can be wasted]
A bad start to this game could kill the momentum we built up

 

[Shaby23]

Oh boy the Caps are 0-2 so i expect them to come really strong at the beginning. I hope Carey will be able to shut them down early and to continue his good work. I also want to see the Markov/Diaz duo do what they did last game on the PP. And lastly, the first line (might be the second now) better wake up soon or some changes will be made.

Go Habs Go!

 

[poetryinmotion]

I swear, Galchenyuk can cure cancer with his goals if you are a Habs fan. We really need some of that tonight.

 

[LeBlondeDemon10]

Good chance for a win. Washington looked awful and disorganized against the Jets, although the Jets played well.

 

[99GoHabsGo99]

Habs Win 4-2

Galchenyuk x2
Cole
Diaz
