[peate]

I hate these long breaks between games. No news on Muller getting canned? Fix that PP pronto.

Shea Weber returns home!

 

[sandviper]

Tried to get my company to fly me down to Nashville this week but it got pushed to next week. Too bad, would have loved to have been to this one.

 

[Runner77]

It'll be Weise's return game as a Hab.

Woot.

A big night for Dale, I expect to see him shedding tears during the anthems.

did he get called up?

Losing Agostino but calling up Weise, what does that do for the roster limit?

 

[antoniojr]

Battle of the two most horrendous PP's in the league.
Big 2 points on the line for us.
GHG!

Thompson also coming in. Stay tuned for more small moves by Marc Bergevin, tonight on the 6 o'clock news.

Totally different 4th line for this game, should be interesting.

 

[De Montreal]

I think we will see a 4th line of Peca-Thompson-Weise. Decent mix of speed and size, some grit.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Weise and Thompson's first game

 

[Cacaniemi]

A week long break and than another 4 day break ...WTF

 

[Runner77]

Weise and Thompson's first game

Won't Folin be playing too? Practised with the team today.

 

[Runner77]

Won't be until Feb. 19th, when Habs return home. And after that, another home game but against Philly.

 

[Legend123]

Our OP needs a shooter not simply a new coach. I mean that's quite obvious. Julien took over the PP and it's still horrendous. How about looking to trade for a sniper like a Hoffman? He was traded on the cheap. He could be an option.

 

[Runner77]

Shampoo on waivers tomorrow at noon. That 4th line is sure getting a quick tuneup.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Hopefully Habs leave town before the big snowstorm arrives. Good time to be heading south.

Be interesting to see a 4th line with Deslauriers - Thompson - Weise. Good size against Nashville then bring in Peca for d'lo against TB.

Hudon has to be on his way out soon maybe Hudon & a 5th for a 3rd?

[le_sean]

What’s the issue with that? Does he prefer Agostino-Chaput-DLo?

I thought he meant it as a rhetorical statement -- meaning he'd like to see that combo. I know I would.

By all accounts we should not even be where we are in the standings. Muller? He is a part of our success. Our PP? I don’t think it is as much a problem as some think. We are a small fast bubble team that can easily get trapped in the neutral zone while having limited resources to use every shift, including 5 on 5. It will come IMO.

 

[WatchfulElm]

Can this game come already? What a weird moment to have a 4 days break, shortly after the 10 days break. It's February, hockey season, and it seems like the Habs are playing once a week.

At least they should be ready for the next few weeks which will be a lot more intense.

 

[Runner77]

Here is our new 4th line ...

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Here is our new 4th line ...

Yup, pretty much what everyone expected. We'll see how that 4th line plays. Weise didn't bring a lot of energy to the Flyers line-up, which is why he was benched then waived. Hopefully, he's ready to go for Montreal.
