Anyone who expects this game to be a walk in the park is in for a surprise.

We could just as easily lose as win.

no game is a walk in the park when your a bubble team,

our schedule is getting tougher by the day till the end of the season, we have had it easy till now

They played a hard game yesterday in Ottawa and they have no solid goaltender atm.

5-2 MTL

"no solid goaltenders" normally shut us out and make us look silly

 

[LeHab]

Last game in January, make it count!

OEL will be out for tonight's game.

 

[CDN24]

Agreed. Habs need to be careful with this Coyotes team. They are much better defensibly than some realize. Wouldn't it be funny if we score a few on the PP against them who have one of the best PK?

A Habs PP may be advantage Coyotes. We score on 12.6% of our PP's. The coyotes have scored a SH one on 8.4% of the times they have been Shorthanded.

We have scored 126 even strength goals , they have 89. 5-5 we outscore them 1.41 to one. 126/89. Us Pp vs them Sh it is 12.6%/8.4% or 1.5 to 1. Our PP advantage would be minimal

Peca might be replacing Agostino.

The standings are so close that I don’t think anyone thinks there are easy wins anymore. Just ask the Leafs

 

[TannedBum]

The three-day break felt neverending. And after tonight...



9 days mini offseason

 

[Belial]

Peca might be replacing Agostino.

Agostino was involved and created stuff out there when he was called up, lately, he was quite invisible. A wake-up call wouldn't be bad.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Hopefully Hudon has another good game

 

[antoniojr]

Can you imagine this board for the next 10 days if we were to lose tonight?

 

[Saundies]

No game is a gimme, but this is one we should have. Yotes coming off a back-to-back, Price in net and playing well, and the last game before our decade-long break.

Losing to the Flyers sucked but eh, it happened. If we compile this one on as well, those are valuable points being dropped.

great scheduling as always NHL

Yes why? I mean it's not difficult to imagine.

I predict Yotes win this one by a similar score than in Ottawa.. 4-3. Galchenyuk will pot one.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

great scheduling as always NHL

all because that dumb bye week

 

[OldCraig71]

Will there be a video tribute for Chucky?

Yeah the LW who is playing RW on PP....

Habs better be ready and awake for sure and take advantage of OEL absence.

 

[sheed36]

The Habs haven't played since Saturday so they're a very well rested team going against a Coyotes team that played Sunday in Leafland, last night in Ottawa and their 3rd game in 4 nights and the 2nd half of a back to back tonight. The Habs shouldn't be losing this game tonight against a likely very tired Coyotes team.

 

[habsgirl5000]

really, like we should complain?

we have the benefit of getting a tired team on a back to back more then any other team in the league, including tonight,

quit your complaining, the schedule has been heavily in our favor to this point

thats not what my complaint was it's more about having what 1 game in 10 days after tonights game

it's lack of games in a period of time NOT how the schedule favours any given team
