Pre-Game Talk: Ottawa vs Montreal, Thursday 7pm

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

PGTs after losses are always going to be longer than PGTs after wins.. this is such a simple concept that I don't know why people cry about it.

No one is crying over it.

These are the same people who think our prospects are going to be stars and 1 good game means the team is a top end team and a bad game means this team is the worst in the league.

Yes, people cry about it and bring it up all the time.. it's a simple concept. When something goes well, there's less to say, when something goes wrong, there's more debate and chatter about it.

As far as the bipolarism of the fan base, it's true of fans of all teams.. if KK has a great stretch, people are talking about him as the next Kopitar and we don't hear a whisper about Brady Tkachuk, if he has a slow stretch, you see the wrist slitting over a 45 pt winger.

Habs may have turned the corner.
A couple of more practices, still fresh, Price in nets.

Confident this is a win.

Ottawa plays us tough though

 

[Rob Sense]

any news of Toffoli?

This still stands in terms of his status:



On Tuesday, he trained with Ben Chiarot, after the main group left the ice.

On Wednesday, no on-ice training.

He'll be missing tonight's game, which will be the third game missed since his injury.

Good news is that he's only a few games away. He's doing off ice training but that doesn't mean he's in game shape:

Ducharme on the health status and eventual return: It won't be much longer. It's all part of his conditioning work. You aren't 100% when you get back on the ice. He's doing some strengthening work. It's part of the process. He'll need a few more days. He won't be in the lineup tomorrow i.e. tonight's game). We think he'll be coming back at some point in the next few games.

Quotes of the day: Ducharme, Lehkonen & Allen

I have not seen any official source revealing he exact nature of his injury other than referring to it as a LBI.
