Pre-Game Talk: Pens @ Habs - Sat 7 EST

[Andy]

Win this one for Bordeleau boys (that's if it is possible to win without a heavyweight).

 

[Habaddict]

Just being on the same team as Bordeleau will make Desharnais and Gionta 6'4".

Which one gets to stand on top?

 

[CanadienShark]

4-2 Habs

Pacioretty, Gallagher (2), Eller

Galchenyuk gets couple of assists, one on PP.

 

[Et le But]

Which one gets to stand on top?

Desharnais.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Projected back end: Markov - Emelin; Bouillon - Gorges; Kaberle - Subban; Price starting.

Russians, Heart, Offense.

 

[Habaddict]

Desharnais.

Because he has a better head on his shoulders ?

 

[Habaddict]

Russians, Heart, Offense.

That could work out well. Subban can win puck battles for almost
anyone. And they might look really good with the puck.

 

[Shaby23]

I feel Galchenyuk gonna have a great night with 2g1a.

 

[De Montreal]

Give Weber a chance to play.

 

[disturbedraven]

Kaberle and Subban? maybe they are hoping Subban can do what McCabe did for Kabs?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Give Weber a chance to play.

Kaberle as much as I don't like him was good against Toronto and shouldn't come off for Weber. Weber should be moved once Diaz omes bak

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Why do you guys underestimate montreal.

They are winning games. It's not over achieving, they arent high.

They are simply winning games, They are beating teams. They are top in the league right now. No room for speculation.

These are two games that montreal can easily win with how they are playing.

I am hoping for two wins because that is how good montreal is right now but I wouldnt be suprised on a split 1w 1l.

Anyway.. Montreal is good.. Get over it and support your team.

 

[HabsFan1689]

Habs 4 Penguins 2. Go Habs Go.

 

[Teufelsdreck]

IF the Habs sweep this weekend's games it would be time to dump tanking in the sewer and focus on seeding. I realize this is a tall order but it's not impossible.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Is there a GDT scheduled?

 

[Roulin]

IF the Habs sweep this weekend's games it would be time to dump tanking in the sewer and focus on seeding. I realize this is a tall order but it's not impossible.

I figure it'll take ~53pts to make the playoffs, so 10-14-4 (or equivalent) the rest of the way. Already looking good.

 

[Nicko999]

Let's get that first place back boys!

 

[deandebean]

Kaberle and Subban? maybe they are hoping Subban can do what McCabe did for Kabs?

Actually, I think Therrien believes that Subban is not part of his top 4. That's it I believe.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Let's get that first place back boys!

****ing Bruins

 

[Stive Morgan]

It's funny how people say Montreal is so good this season because of an "easy schedule", yet the Bruins are on a 6 game winning streak playing terrible teams like Tampa, Florida, and NYI twice (11th, 12th, and 13th in the conference) and they're somehow "just good."

 

[habtastic]

****ing Bruins

Honestly, it's more like ****ing Lightning. They totally failed. They got chance after chance after chance in terms of PPs and then Stamkos gave the W to the Bs. Should have been a tbay win considering their 2-0 lead, but even after that, such garbage against a goalie who was not tough to beat. St louis was getting a little too fancy at the end there. Great game by him up until crunch time.

Results of this weekend will better inform us. How sweet it would be to sweep with reg. wins. Carey...beast mode please.

Well for one thing, they won a cup with that core and finished 2nd in conference last season so their success gets the benefit of the doubt. We on the other hand were last in the Eastern conference last season with much of the same core with the additions of rookies and Markov (who hasn't played a full season in 2 years). The doubt is justified until Habs prove otherwise. They have been so far but there's a long way to go in the season.

All that rest must be nice for them too.

 

[Pigems*]
