We play with the same intensity as our last game and keep out of the box.... we win.

It's as simple as that.

GO HABS GO!!!

:hlogo:

PS - I will give a shiny nickel to every Montreal player that doesn't score in his own net.

Looking forward to this one, I definitely agree with Carbo's decision to sit Latendresse who hasn't looked good of late.

I hope Kostytsin and Perezhogin reward him with some more strong efforts.

Higgins and Komi back in Long Island, I expect them to wow with their friends and families.

All in all a very important early game. I can't wait.

Go Saku Go

Go Halak Go

Go Habs Go

What the hell is up with all these matinees anyways? I hope the organization makes some noise about being stuck with so many of these ridiculous gametimes so that it doesn't happen again next year.

Huge game, Habs need to win this for sure. If they keep playing like they have been so far in front if Halak then the NYI shouldnt be much of a problem. If the Habs play the full 60 mins hopefully Halak can have a 1 goal game or a shutout.

I hate the day games too, but unfortunately its unavoidable. Blame the Yanks, I do. :lol:

iirc the majority of the day games are against American teams. Traditionally Americans play their sports during the day (baseball, football, NASCAR, horse racing, etc). Thats why there has been so many weekend day games lately, because there has been a stretch of weekend games against US teams so its seems excessive. Similar to when Habs play same team in their div 4 times in 3 weeks, it just makes it seem like a lot.

Well this is the only of 6 afternoon games this year that is played in the States. Americans may love it but so do NHL owners knowing that a younger fan base will attend those particular games.

I'm a bit afraid that Higgins is coming back a bit too soon just because he plays in his own town. he missed last time and he'd be crushed if he'd missed that one as well.

Let's just hope that he won't reinjure his upper body again.
