Patches' hurt too

 

[SakuSauce]

Wolverine is injured...I hope we call up Leblanc/Dumont (maybe Kristo).

Ryder Desharnais Gionta
Galchenyuk Eller Gallagher
Prust Halpern Leblanc
Moen Dumont Blunden/White

PS : I have no clue what to do with those lines lol.

 

[radicalcenter]

Wolverine is injured...I hope we call up Leblanc, maybe even Kristo.

This! I think it's time for Leblanc to show us what he can do.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Patches' hurt too

I forgot that! DAMN.

We will need to call someone up if Patches can't go tomorrow either. We would only have 11 forwards available in that case.

Let's hope none of the injuries are long term.

If both Pleks and Pacioretty miss this game and with it being the Habs 3rd game in 4 nights after watching tonight's debacle I don't have a good feeling about playing a rested Jets team tomorrow..

I can see a little slump coming the Habs way right about now but I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Nicko999]

I expect Wolverine to play tomorrow.

Yeah, and the Jets are another team desperately fighting for a playoff spot, or at least they should be. They're 3-7-0 in their last 10 and have lost 4 in a row though. Not exactly a "desperate" team record you'd like to see.

Still they have big forwards and a great player in Kane. It's going to be interesting. We'll need our D to be much better than tonight that's for sure.

 

[99GoHabsGo99]

Any word on how serious plek/patches injuries are? really hope both in when we play the bruins

 

[AmeriHab]

Patch is super human at recovering!

 

[Bleu Blanc Rouge]

Any word on how serious plek/patches injuries are? really hope both in when we play the bruins

Plekanec - Groin, Day to day (Tomas Plekanec n'a pas disputé la troisième période en raison d'une blessure à l'aine. Son cas sera évalué sur une base quotidienne.) Am I right ?

Pacioretty - Ankle, dunno more.

 

[Mathradio]

I'm not confident for the playoffs either... but Friday is a well-deserved day for resting.

 

[Playoff Beard]

like i said in the kristo thread, he might be the easier call up for tomorrow as the bulldogs are in texas right now. We'll see.

 

[Et le But]

I'll be missing this game due to travel, and I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

 

[Roy Gerbil]

Probably just gonna use Weber at wing/7th defense, rather than scramble for call ups. Or am I wrong there?

 

[Habssince89]

Seems like a JM/PG move, but yeah its a possibility.

 

[No More Subban]

Yeah, we're ****ed.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Eller time to shine. He has been cold since that great game where he looked like Forsberg.

 

[Laurent]

This team under MT rarely has 2 bad games in a row. Even less when the second game is in front of our own fans. Expect the boys to come out roaring tomorrow.

 

[Nicko999]

If I see Bouillon and Gorges and the PP, I will lose it.

Keep Markov and Subban for 2 minutes christ... or at least try Emelin. He can't be worse than the other 2.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

I don't mind if the Jets wins it. I want to see them in the playoffs.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Any possibility of us calling up Kristo? People seem to say he's ready.

 

[overlords]

Any possibility of us calling up Kristo? People seem to say he's ready.

He's allllll the way down in texas already.

 

[wpgsilver]

Hey guys,
So here's the deal. We suck. If you show up, you'll win. In fact, you don't even have to show up. We're that bad.
If you could perhaps have pity and let us win we'd appreciate it. If you can't I understand.
Good luck tomorrow.
