Pre-Game Talk: So... will history repeat itself on Wednesday?

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Last year we were 9-0 and our 10th game was against the Vancouver Canucks who ended up beating us 5-1 and therefore snapping our win streak and ending our record run.

This year we are 8-0-1, once again unbeaten (in regulation time) and on a record streak and this Wednesday we are facing the Vancouver Canucks again on game #10 on the season.

Will history repeat itself? Or will the unbeaten streak continue?

What do you guys think? Should we worry or are these Habs made of sterner stuff?

Cheers!

I fully expect our first loss against Columbus or Philly.

Different team, different chemistry and leadership. Price rarely loses on home ice.

Habs win this Wednesday.

Yeah, this definitely went through my head also. To be honest, last couple games gives me some pause for concern, but I am hoping the extended break recharges our batteries. The Canucks of late are the Canucks I expected and they were arguably very lucky at the start of the season as well. Also, we are playing at home so I expect us to continue our run since we are not losing any days travelling.

In terms of team make-up, we are a deeper team than Vancouver. Of course, this is the NHL and anything can happen, but I am not concerned.

Starting Saturday and for the next 6 games, we will need to bring our A game every night. Another effort like Saturday and we'll be screwed.

I second that.... id like for the streak to continue but I have a feeling we're due for a loss against a struggling team.

Begun the collapse has

 

[Habs Halifax]

A glance into the future... Habs lose on Wednesday but in OT so they remain undefeated in regulation. Habs win the next two against Col & Philly. But the streak might come to an end against the Bruins. Philly will test Mtl though on the 2nd of back the back games this Saturday!

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Habs are the better team. All things being equal, we should take this.

 

[Burke the Legend]

Would be difficult to lose against this Vancouver team that has trouble scoring 2 goals per game...But Miller has always been sharp against the Habs so maybe Canucks win 2-1 unless DD can pot a couple.

 

[S Bah]

Underestimating the talent level of the Canucks, isn't a fault of Michel Therrien I assure you, especially when reminders of last season are everywhere. This team comes to win every night, rest assured of that, whomever is in nets winning is the only result the Habs expect from themselves.

 

[sharks9]

I think we're better and the Canucks are worse than last year

 

[Wats]

Last year they went on a western road trip. This year seems like Habs have a front loaded schedule of home games.

 

[Hoople]

Eventually the Habs will lose their first game and will lose games after that That's professional sports.

The Habs players and coaches understand this and have expectations that this will happen and deal with it.

How will some fans react? I guess we will find out.

No Southern Habs fan.

They will win Wednesday but won't be a blowout.

I hope we win them all this season.

I hope I meet Jennifer Anniston and she pays me $1 million to spend a year with her on a lush Caribbean island.

I'm prepared to be disappointed in both scenarios.

You could have said every woman in the world and yet you say Jennifer Aniston...

I'll say no cause Montya didn't play any games last year...

How about we run to 22-0-4 ....


We gotta lose at some point , so if history repeats so be it .

The big key is to have a good solid November...

 

[CaptainKelowna]

In reflecting on my first post, I take it back. We're clinching as playoff spot Friday.

I'm Pretty sure she gets to be disappointed with at least one of them.

It's very much cause for concern

 

[wade]

no because 8-0-1 is not the same as 9-0-0, to me, it's still not the same. face it, we lost one already even if it was in shootout.

 

[Hoople]

Hahaha. Good one.
