Pre-Game Talk: Round 1 : Montreal Canadiens vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

[Smokey Thompson]

Translation?

Rumours: Out 4 weeks. Not starting tomorrow.

 

[Drakkar]

My apologies

À TB, les rumeurs sur B.Bishop ne sont pas bonnes: possible absence de 4 semaines. Il ne sera évidemment pas là demain soir.

Ben Bishop rumours in TB aren't good. Possible absence of 4 weeks. He will obviously not be playing tomorrow.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Injuries report are always a mess in the playoffs.

I would not surprise me a bit to see Bishop in game 1, or the game after the first Lightning's loss.

I was the only one here who said Ottawa in 5 last year.

Lindback has never played against Montreal I believe.

Well, he's never won against us...but he only played us once, allowing 3 goals in a loss.

 

[sheed36]

So it looks like Bouillon will be in the line up to start game 1 on the 5-6 pairing with Weaver. I think I'd rather Tinordi, Beaulieu and even Murray in over Bouillon.

When ? It says on several sites that he played against Montreal in a 4-3 OTL, but if you go to the game summary, it wasn't him playing.

(this is the game you are talking about right? )

Congrats. You're not a psychic. You picked the right option out of 8 possible outcomes.

Tampa is going with a very very speedy lineup, even their 3rd and 4th lines are very quick. Murray and to a lesser extent Tinordi would get burned to the outside. The only one I'd have in over Bouillon versus a team like the one Tampa will be icing is Beaulieu, and I'm far from a fan of the Cube.

Oh right... silly me.

He got the second star against us then.

Yeah not enough Kovalev on this team

I'd rather a ham sandwich on a paper plate sit on the bench instead of Bouillon but it is what it is. Hopefully he plays well and doesn't make any costly mistakes.

OK for Tinordi, Beaulieu. But vs TB, I'll take Bouillon over Murray 10 times out of 10.

Montreal won't be the national game on CBC until tuesday when they return home to Montreal.

Guys, they might as well not even play now... TheDamned was right last year, therefore his guess has way more credibility than any other prediction. Tampa gets a bye to the next round.
