Pre-Game Talk: Phi @ mtl

[overlords]

Haha ! It reminds me when I woke up in the middle of Santa Fe, Bogota's most dangerous neighborhood... I could go there because I was friends with a bunch of poets I met at a festival where I was invited, I had a ghetto pass. Those nights are always awsome ! Hopefully the Habs win tonight to make it even more epic !

Reminds me of this one time I went to plattsburgh.....

 

[BLONG7]

Hopefully Brierre has a great game!!

 

[Strik_IX]

Hopefully Brierre has a great game!!

Hopefully the entire team remembers the meaning of defense.

 

[Ezpz]

It's Plekanec's 600th game with the Habs.

 

[vokiel]

It's Plekanec's 600th game with the Habs.

O'RLY!? Retire HIS JERSEY NOW!

 

[Habssince89]

It's Plekanec's 600th game with the Habs.

Awesome!

 

[Habsawce]

Why not try Briere on the point for the 2nd wave PP or Plekanec again (I know, I know), better than Bouillon or Gorges (Unless Beaulieu dresses)

Pacioretty-Eller-Galchenyuk
Markov-Subban

Bourque-Plekanec/Briere-Gallagher
Briere/Plekanec-Diaz

Honestly though, I think it's also time to change the lines from what they were last year, while it's only 1 game I just think the ineffectiveness of Desharnais and Gionta on the top 6 requires an adjustment. Something I was thinking would look like:

Pacioretty-Plekanec-Briere
Galchenyuk-Eller-Gallagher
Bourque-Desharnais-Gionta
Moen-Prust-White

It's so painfully obvious to everyone outside of the coaching crew that DD is not good enough.

 

[beaverBFP]

Pacioretty isn't playing tonight. Can't start the season 0-2 boys let's go!

 

[FF de Mars]

Reminds me of this one time I went to plattsburgh.....

You bet.

No Pacio

 

[Team_Spirit]

It's Plekanec's 600th game with the Habs.

old time when he had number 35

 

[PhysicX]

One game in the season, and we've got 4 injured players already. Question is, who's next to go down tonight?

Kidding aside, feels like it'll be a tight game. 2-1 Montreal.

 

[Habssince89]

Id like to see:
Bourque-Plekanec-Gionta
Galchenyuk-DD-Briere
Bournival-Eller-Gallagher
Moen-White-Prust

 

[poetryinmotion]

Id like to see:
Bourque-Plekanec-Gionta
Galchenyuk-DD-Briere
Bournival-Eller-Gallagher
Moen-White-Prust

This is my guess as well.

 

[No More Subban]

Plekanec and Galchenyuk will score tonight. Book it!

 

[vokiel]

My guess:

Galchenyuk - Plekanec - Gionta
Bourque - Desharnais - Briere
Bournival - Eller - Gallagher
Moen - Prust - White

 

[Tyson]

I look at this roster and it hits me...this team is going to struggle to make the playoffs, they are still a few years away from seriously contending. Too many holes.

 

[JLP]

It's Plekanec's 600th game with the Habs.

Only appropriate to have a 20+ minute ceremony at the Bell, 80s dance music and light show with highlight reel then Yvan Cournoyer walks out on a red carpet to honour Plekanec with a plaque while 14 little kids skate in circles holding torches. One of these torches sets Desharnais aflame which triggers a five-minute standing ovation.

 

[De Montreal]

Will they honour Plekanec tonight?

Also, did you know he's fourth all-time on the Canadiens for SHG?

He have 12, only Mahovlich (17), Gainey (20) and Carbonneau (17) have more.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

It is good for Pacioretty that he is sitting. It is a long season and he doesn't need to put his body on the line this early in the season. Get the rest and let the injury heal

 

[Hemlor]

And they don't play again until Wednesday after tonight's game.. Awful scheduling.

..or a blessing considering the injuries

 

[dkd]

Bournival and White are playing tonight.

 

[NobleSix]

Id like to see:
Bourque-Plekanec-Gionta
Galchenyuk-DD-Briere
Bournival-Eller-Gallagher
Moen-White-Prust

Galchenyuk with Briere I would like to see, but I've never been a fan of the notion of having DD play with Galchenyuk. Not sure why, just don't have a good feeling about that.

Bournival-Eller-Gallagher could be very interesting though.

 

[donghabs98]

Working on the GDt right now- Any news on what our lines will look like

 

[Aspirine]

Plekanec and Galchenyuk will score tonight. Book it!

Don't forget Eller!
Gawd I remember hating the Flyers when they got Pronger and especially after that ECF when they ousted us. Boy did that fade quickly. Hoping for a good game, and a W!!!!!!!
