Speculation: Sens vs. Habs: Mar 18th, 19th, and 25th.

Who else feels this is going to determine top spot in the Atlantic?

Habs fans seem pretty confident.

I think we can take 2 of 3 but having some of our top 6 back would make me feel better.

I have believed this for most of the season. I made a thread about it a few months back asking "when can the sens be tops in the division" and most people came back with when we get another top 4 D or another top 6 forward etc etc. I didn't expect so many depth moves but I said it would take place over those three games and that it would feel like the playoffs.
I can't wait. Going to be electric!

I don't think most reasonable habs fans are confident. The rose coloured glasses ones will think the deadline acquisition will suddenly make the world of difference but that's about it.

Should be a close tough series though, with goal-tending likely determining the winner

I think it will. Here's hoping we take at least 2 of those games.

Pageau better be our #1c for this game

These games will be huge for us. The Canadiens have a much easier schedule than we do over the next few weeks so we may need the head to heads to keep pace.

We can beat them if we have good health.

Stone as week to week is a worry. Turris with his finger is back soon (Ryan is still more time to heal). That's still 3 of original Top 6.

Win 2 of 3 and another in Boston and we could finish atop the division.

There are many that say the last thing a team fighting for a play off wants is to play teams that have nothing to lose 2 games vs Detroit/Tampa/Florida then 1 game vs Carolina/Buffalo/Dallas it could go real bad for Montreal.

The Habs had a hot start and have been pretty mediocre since.
We have been outpacing them even without our starting goalie and some key players most of the season.

But I hope the Habs take the division so they can keep up this myth that they are actually a good team, and the Sens can keep being a dark horse- its a better fit for this team. And leads to an easier 1st round opponent.

So who starts on back-to-back?

For Ottawa its easy Anderson Saturday and Condon Sunday for Montreal do they want the division or do they want Boston.

Mtl will be looking to stir up some crap,and play rope a dope hockey.Need to play a very patient and disiplined game against them

The third game is the unknown to me, we will win at least one and lose at least one for sure. Feeling confident so I will say we pull 4 pts from the 3 games.

They really arent anything special, their center depth is probalby the worst of any playoff team. Cant win anything with centers like they have.

Alot of lucky wins lately too, unless Price is playing all world they are a lottery team.

Habs have a similar thread..

Seems we goon it up and are the worse fanbase in the NHL.

Well it makes sense they say that since they are the most delusional fanbase in the NHL, and probably the most obnoxious.

Hopefully none of them read this post and go call 9-1-1 on me.

Isn't that pretty much every team the Habs play?

Well at least it's what the Montreal media will lead you to believe. The moral high horse with that team...

Hilarious fan base, just absoutely unable to look at a situation realistically.

Do Habs fans ever stop whining my goodness. The best was after we took the division lead it was "oh we actually don't want it. Haha you'll have to play a better team". But if they end the season leading the division we'll hear about how "Sens could never catch them at the top".

Its probably something to do with the high horse being extra high for them because most of their team is 5'9
