We'll bag those animals!

 

[THE HOFF]

you will see. I'll talk to you about it 10 days. No point in arguing over something that hasn't happened.

But what you call crying is just someone saying what you don't want to hear.

Has more to do with someone not realizing our 4th line was terrible and that its looks better on paper now.

But I agree, lets revisit in ~10 days.

Wait all week for this game, and it's valentines day. FML

When's the last time we won there?

The night Nashville fans were booing Alexander Radulov and he decided to shut them up.

 

[David Suzuki]

When's the last time we won there?

Last time they played there it went to OT and the first game back for Weber they won

The night Nashville fans were booing Alexander Radulov and he decided to shut them up.

And then Radulov decided to shut up our GM.

Ooops, wrong thread.

I think the Habs are primed to win this one. I'm expecting that 4th line to go all out and since both teams are putrid on the PP, we can safely take penalties.

 

[Habs]

i like that 4th line,hope it lasts think we squeak this win out, we wont beat the bolts

42-11-4 , not many have beaten them. That's an amazing record.

 

[Gustave]

We'll bag those animals!

There it is!

We can take this, we will be a bit rusty in the first period though.

 

[antoniojr]

Game day! But I'll miss the game due to Valentine's Day dinner...
Excited to see how the 4th line works out today, see if they bring anything to the table.
GHG!

 

[Tyson]

Habs are a better team today then they were less than a week ago

 

[JianYang]

I didn't know Florida was that big.

Haha my bad. I thought it was Tennessee to Florida

 

[JianYang]

When's the last time we won there?

I think it was the time when Radulov and weber came back to to Nashville for the first time. In Weber's case, it was the only time he played there as an opponent.

Last year, I remember the habs tied it late, and then lost in the shootout.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Quick look at the standings and the Habs are only two points behind the Preds but have 3 games in hand.

Who would have guessed that scenario at the end of last season when the Preds won the Central division championship, Western conference championship, and President's trophy?

 

[habergeon]

That's a 2011 4th line. Julien is nostalgic of another era.

Not to be a smart ass, but I believe Julien won a Cup with that 4th line.

I'm kinda nostalgic as well.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Habs are a better team today then they were less than a week ago

not because of weise atleast

 

[Runner77]

They have a better 4th line. I hope the two new linemates light a fire under D'lo.

 

[Paddyjack]

Just because something is better than a disaster, doesn't mean it's not just a better disaster.

Julien said he wanted a 4th line like his 4th line in Boston in 2011. I think that's flawed reasoning. The league is not the same league as it was in 2011. Hopefully he's right and I'm wrong. I don't see it working out well.

I understand what you mean..... but I would still take a better disaster than a worse one

On this day 2 years ago MB had to breakup with his good friend and foxhole buddy MT. Time surely flies.

Canadiens fire Michel Therrien, hire Claude Julien

 

[Intangir]

I hate games on Valentine's day since I can't watch them. Moreso when the opponent is a powerhouse and it looks like it could be a pretty good game.

As an aside, yeah, I know, I'm a smug bastard who brags about being in a relationship, bite me.

Does anyone else, find it funny, that whenever a head coaching job comes up, Therrien is NEVER mentioned?? Cracks me up....

A Valentine's Day heartbreak story. Awwww.

f*** Therrien.

Any news on tonight's lineup?

 

[Habs4Life]

Can't wait to see the 4th line

 

[Runner77]

Any news on tonight's lineup?

It should be this for forward lines, as it was stated in the Gazette the other day:

The other newcomer, defenceman Christian Folin, alternated with Brett Kulak on the third pairing, but is not expected to dress in Nashville.

The top three forward lines remained unchanged:

Jonathan Drouin – Phillip Danault – Brendan Gallagher
Tomas Tatar – Max Domi – Andrew Shaw
Artturi Lehkonen – Jesperi Kotkaniemi – Joel Armia

There was no sign of Paul Byron, who is on the injured reserve list with a left forearm injury. He is listed as day-to-day, but will not join the team on this trip, which continues on the weekend with games against the Florida Panthers on Saturday and the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday.

Fourth line is D'lo - Thompson - Weise.

Habs flew out yesterday, so there was no practice.
