Rags are one of the top teams at home. It's a B2B for the Habs. Don't know about this one...

 

[Aceekay]

Habs aren't gonna lose a game for the rest of the season.

You heard it here first.

Tim tebow is that you?

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Prust has been quite the leader in the locker room, from what I heard.

and he had made it clear to the team he wants them to win IN the MSG. If there is an unlikely win to happen this year, it'll be tonight.

 

[Davebo*]

In my opinion, yes. They were missing Skinner, Pitkanen and Gleason yesterday, plus Ruutu is injured for a long time. Arguably, if healthy, they're better than the Leafs and Ottawa. Overall, their lineup looks better, personally, than Tampa Bay's, but that's my personal opinion.

I'm talking about what's happening now - not 'what-if'. Their 17 points would only be good enough for 8th or 9th - currently - if not for that rule about division leaders.

Well now, they're third, because of the division leader rule... If it didn't exist, no they wouldn't be in a playoff spot. However, they had a rough start, and in the last couple of games, won against Toronto twice, New Jersey, and Ottawa... What are we debating about? I don't get it...

 

[Aspirine]

We've only faced weak non-playoff teams, the first real test, yadda yadda.

When will people accept the fact that we're good here?!

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Back to back game, not sure what to expect tonight but I know the guys will show up and compete hard compared to other years

Go Habs Go

 

[Halifaxhab*]

Other than Plekanec, no one played heavy minutes. But Pleks seems to thrive on that. Hopefully he won't be needed as much tonight so he can play a more conservative 18 mins where he'd be the most effective IMHO.

But with a team that wan't pushed too hard as individuals they can go into the game in NY feeling fairly rested. We'll get to see if Galchenyuk can start to step up and trhive in the "big game" scenarios. If he can step up with another big effort with a solid game, in MSG no less, then we can see the Habs pull another one out.

One player we know we'll see step up big time is Prust. I can't wait to see how the rest of the team rally's around him tonight.

 

[Kakko]

Price has never won at MSG and has been terrible there...

I'd be shocked if we win this game. We always seem to lose @ MSG when we played a game in MTL the night before.

Well, I was so blinded by the fact that Hank can't buy a win in Montreal that I didn't even realize this

Richards and Gabby have been bad lately (although Richards keeps pulling points out of his ass) expect the to be invisible or come out blazing
Hagelin - Stepan - Nash is the line to watch, they're playing playoff hockey right now

Oh, and if we get a bunch of power plays, we won't score anyways

 

[Viggo Mortensen]

The good thing about the negativism or ''not so sure about this game''-ism that people are displaying is that it won't get to ridiculous on this board if we lose

 

[MarkovsKnee]

This will definitely be a test. Rags got off to a bad start but are 7-2-1 in their last 10 and are 6-2-1 at home. I'd like the Habs to pick up a point at worst. I think it's a low scoring affair. 2-1 probably.

 

[sharks9]

We're gonna need our PP to step it up if we want to win this one.

 

[FlyingKostitsyn]

A win tonight would be a crucial blow to all the ****** tankers here.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Rags are going to be a tough team to face. Hopefully we all come out to play tonight.

I'll be here as per usual - hopefully drunk.

Keep it up and we are going to have to take you to AA

 

[Brainiac]

Technically, if we win tonight, all our points will have come from teams below us in the standings... Man, this team is beyond bad!

 

[EveryDay]

Does Carey Price start tonight?

 

[PricerStopDaPuck]

Does Carey Price start tonight?

Yes he does

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Rags are totally either/or. Either they blow the living **** out of us or we make a game of it. Hopefully, we can contain Rick Nash.

The odd highlight reel makes Nash overrated he is good but not as unreal as people think I would worry about gaborik more IMO

Heh, come on you know better than that.

 

[Nedved]

go habs go

 

[Vinc360]

We got this.
