Julien playing mind games with the Caps

Surely Ovi is totally stressed out right now... "Is Juulsen playing or not?!?"

 

[1909]

The game vs dallas was the winnable one of the week. It's gonna be very hard vs the Caps. The only chance is that Holtby is like last season. Very weak at the start and even doubtful at the start of the series. And hopefully, Price is top-shape.

I'm still not committing to predicting a Habs win or loss. So far this season, they were "supposed to lose" to Pens, Blues, and Bruins, even the Flames, but they beat them. Even the game against Leafs, Habs were to be embarrassed. Yet they took them to OT.

Basically to say that even if Habs are expected to lose against the Caps, I'm not totally sure about that.

Even the Bolts on Saturday. They are the better team. But for some reason, Habs play well against them. Last year, no matter how bad Habs were and how great Tampa was, all of their games were decided on a shootout.

So.... 5-2 habs?

Price just needs to stand up when Ovechkin shoots. Sick of seeing that top corner shot from the right side every time we play him.

 

[Darz]

Looking forward to watching "the finnish line" Lehkonen-Kotkaniemi-Armia. Coulld see some instant chemistry there.

I'm actually pretty confident about this one...I think the Habs come out looking alot more polished then the last game. Predict they go up 2-0 at some point and don't look back in a 4-2 win.

GO HABS GO!!

You should tell that to every goalie that plays against Ovechkin

Holtby HAS been pretty bad this season.

Price plays 80% of the game on his knees, thats why everybody shoots high against him, its really no secret

Every time every team plays him you mean...

It's Hudon's time to shine and rise.

 

[Habs]

I feel our chances are about as good as me and my grad date, back in 1990. Not great.

Capitals hate him

This poster has insider knowledge on how to stop Ovechkin's secret weapon,

That Drouin-Domi-Hudon line is destined to fail. Who's going to retrieve the puck or cause turnovers?

5-1 loss.

This explains so much

It's a good point. Hudon is certainly not a puck attacker like Lehkonen is. I like Hudon but I want to see more from him.

Kuznetzov have 5 goals and Ovechkin 4 in PP. You can try to shutdown OV, you'll get Kuznetsov.
Their top 4 have more points than Domi

Price plays 80% of the game on his knees, thats why everybody shoots high against him, its really no secret

Isn't the case of almost all goalies?

 

[CauZuki]

Habs D really regressed on Tuesday without Juulsen. Says a lot about how important he is becoming to the Habs.

The two plugs are offended.

Very true. I was thinking the same. Not sure if Juulsen still does or not but he was leading our team in both hits and blocks. Very impressive for someone who is only 21. The kid knows how to play D. We got a good one here but were talking about a shut down value type.

Why is Armia on the first unit... jesus.

He'll do it, slowly, while in the neutral zone, while he play is already in the offensive zone.

Yes it's true that on most NHL teams those things matter but we are creating a new path to the Stanley Cup, we are pioneers I tell ya.
