WTH, Francois Gagnon is on RDS spitting his ******* as usual so I'm switching to TSN and then guess who's on TSN too, Francois Gagnon

Is this real life or am I just being trolled?

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.

I'm sure we will see Bouillon-Weaver pairing against Stamkos' line.

Therrien :facepalm:

Filppula and Palat have shown to be good passers themselves. Also, Stamkos' knack to find those openings makes it easier for passers to feed him the puck.

The Key to beating Tampa in my mind.
Be physical and in the face of Filppula, Johnson,and Palat all night long.
They generate just about everything...

Unleash The Emelin ... I hope he takes his physical game back to what it was during his rookie season

TSN has valued PK Subban as the most valuable in their PO draft fantasy. Just thought I'd throw that in here.

This means they are expecting him to put up a lot of points vs TB.

I have a feeling we'll see Gorges-Subban out every chance they can against the Stamkos line and Markov-Emelin against the Fillpula line. However, without last change they'll get caught and Therrien will put them mostly with the top line, which is a nightmare defensively.

It's just a common fact that Therrien is a poor game manager, but hopefully he gets his **** together in the playoffs.

MT needs two of everything to get it right half the time.
God forbid the wrong unit of 5 ices the puck (which we are adept at)

No way Briere is staying on the 4th line.

Lindback with poor rebound control, huh? Shoot low, get rebounds, bury them. Boom.

TSN preview show consensus : Habs in 6.

edit : Craig Buttons picks TB, even with Bishop out. Not really saying why.
