Pre-Game Talk: Wednesday - Sens @ Habs - 730 EST

[ahmedou]

Rely on Karlsson's shape of the day to get an idea about the final result

 

[vokiel]

Douche Oak to rescue the tank! The guy needs to clip a few.

 

[Tyson]

What are everyone’s thoughts on Deslauriers? Seems to be the perfect 4th liner...

I prefer a speedier 4th line with scoring youngsters, but I got no real opinion on him. I guess if CJ wants a 4th line to burn minutes and bang, I guess he’s fine. As long as he doesn’t start fights when we have 2-0 leads with almost 40 minutes left in the game since apparently we will lose because of that.

 

[No More Subban]

Nah.. I want Price vs Ottawa. Just 'cause they're losing does not mean we should play a backup against them. They're still a rival.

Kick them while they're down.

 

[Tyson]

Habs need the points...Price plays

 

[NobleSix]

Hoping that they get the 11th overall so that it will belong to Colorado.

My god would that be glorious.

 

[Belial]

Ottawa are on a 6 games losing streak so we will clearly help them get out of it as usual...

 

[NobleSix]

Sens are honestly so bad. So bad.

Habs will probably win.

Ottawa are on a 6 games losing streak so we will clearly help them get out of it as usual...

Lol, did we just enter opposite world here?

Hopefully

huh? Did you let your girlfriend play with your account?

 

[Nedved]

At least Weber the locker room cancer isn’t playing. The team will continue to flourish. Flourish..

 

[Belial]

Nahhh, just seems like it was the trend this whole season... We helped Arizona to get their first regular time win of the season now it's time to help the Sens end their losing streak.

 

[The Great Weal]

My god would that be glorious.

What would be glorious is that Karlsson and Duchene don't resign(get no assets back) and that 11th pick along with Shane Bowers end up being stars. Of course Kyle Turris wins a cup and gets a conn smythe too.

I doubt Karlsson resigns.

Oh! And the Hens are better than what they are showing. Are they getting fed up of Scarface's system already? Karlsson has been non-existent for at least three weeks.

 

[1909]

It looks that the Sens are for sale.

Quebecor Media should buy them and move them to Quebec City....

 

[Halakitlikethat]

it's pretty incredible how bad they have been considering the pre season hype machine around them

I honestly saw this coming , they had a good run in the playoffs but they’ve lost some key pieces and turris for Duchene is a lateral move. .

 

[JianYang]

I normally don't read too much into exhibition games, but given that the habs throttled Ottawa in the last pre season game, followed up by that convincing habs win in the regular season, Ottawa will be in a vengeful mood, so the habs need to bring their best.

What has kept Montreal's playoff hopes alive is the lack of a 3rd good team in the division, and Montreal's decent record within it. I believe it stands at 5-1-1 as of right now. You got at least the next three games against the Atlantic. I haven't checked after that.

 

[Lycanthrope]

I for one like him and the sandpaper he brings, Habs just don't have enough of it. He needs to avoid bad penalties and hopefully will with more experience.

It is absolutely bonkers that, come Saturday, we could actually be in a playoff spot with a 12-12-3 record. Hell, we could probably be in that spot with an 11-12-4 record, no?

Welcome to the CFL, where you don't have to be all that great to make the playoffs.

 

[Bacchus1]

Go Habs go!

Here is hoping that we continue the winning streak for at least 3 more games. It will go a long way to evaluating Price’s return to form, and allow us to possibly make a decision about Trades. Lingren could be on the blocks and could help us net us a good return.

I was expecting us to get close to the .500 mark by the end of November. It is surprising that we are not that far out from the Playoffs but it's a big hill to come yet. However, we do have a solid record since Oct 24th... 10-6-1

5 Wins by Price
2 Wins by Montoya
3 Wins by Lindgren

What does this mean? It means we likely get to the middle of the pack and our GM makes a trade sometime from now till the trade deadline.
