lazy26 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Pittsburgh Penguins (26-14-4) at Montreal Canadiens (24-16-3) Pouliot - Plekanec - Darche Pacioretty - Gomez - Gionta Eller - Desharnais - Pyatt Moen - Halpern - Kostitsyn Hamrlik - Wisniewski Gill - Subban Spacek - Weber Price Scratches: Picard* Injuries: Cammalleri*, Gorges, Markov Kunitz - Malkin - Dupuis Cooke - Staal - Kennedy Connor - Talbot - Rupp Adams - Letestu - Jeffrey Letang - Orpik Martin - Michalek Goligoski - Engelland Fleury Scratches: Injuries: Crosby, Asham, Godard, Comrie Montreal's lines are a complete guess at this point. They represent what was together for most of last night's game. Cammalleri may actually play tonight, but I haven't heard a confirmation or denial yet (probably will seconds after posting this). GO HABS GO!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy26 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Martin has sent Cammalleri home: he's still not game-shape, but did participate in this morning's skate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 HW's game preview: http://www.habsworld.net/article.php?id=2345 Also note that tonight's game is on TSN (2nd straight night actually). And once again, don't forget about the chatroom. Just do like me, open the forum in one tab, the chatroom in the other. That way, you can talk in both simultaneously.

BTH Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Pouliot-Plekanec-Darche...... ??? You would think that with all of Pacioretty, Pouliot, Eller and Desharnais on the team, we could reasonably expect at least one of them to surprise us and be a relied upon top 6er for us. There should be no need for Darche on the 1st line & PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Price better back up his bravado tonight.. the Pens saw his pose, and they remember it. I thought it was dumb, since it wasn't celebrating, it was taunting, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 How come players can celebrate after a goal but if a goalie does, it's showboating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 How come players can celebrate after a goal but if a goalie does, it's showboating? I never said he couldn't celebrate.. he could just up and down, be excited, run at his team.. he stuck a pose on how great he was... that is different and just provokes the other team. It would be like an out player scoring, then pointing to the goalie and winking.... don't you think that Goalie will remember that slight? Its not a big deal, but there is no point giving another team motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to put that line together, at least have Eller-Desharnais-AK46 together, but those three are also crippled as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I guess we are differing on the difference between celebrating and taunting. Who cares? Celebrating is accepted in football, basketball, baseball and soccer. Pleks scores... from Darche... lol I don't get it either.

Pleks scores... from Darche... lol yeh, but that pass looked more of a broken play - Darche was setup perfectly by Pouliot on that play. that was a perfect won timer pass that could have been buried by a scorer.

BTH Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I guess we are differing on the difference between celebrating and taunting. Pleks scores... from Darche... lol Is spiking a football taunting? Is TO signing the ball taunting? Is Shaq hanging on the rim for an extra three seconds taunting? Is a soccer player throwing off his shirt and doing cartwheels taunting? These plays happen every game, especially in football where players sometimes celebrate after routine plays (a sack or tackle). I don't see why crossing your arms and posing (what Price did) wouldn't belong in that group. It's just that hockey has a different culture, one in which people are supposed to "respect the code" and thus any signs of excitement from personalities like Omark, Subban, Ovechkin and Price (lol) is seen as disrespectful and unsportsmanlike. I wish we saw more celebrations in hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wamsley01 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) How many last 10 second goals is this team going to ######ing give up!! You can't give up momentum killing goals like that and they do it over and over and over again. Edited January 13, 2011 by Wamsley01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFT77 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 So many late goals. And another stupid too many men penalty. Price has made some really good saves, but he shoulda had the last 2 on the PP. Man,do the Habs ever get caught with odd man rushes against them.

Price has made some really good saves, but he shoulda had the last 2 on the PP. Man,do the Habs ever get caught with odd man rushes against them. I am all for accountability, but Spacek teed up a one-timer for Staal. He wasn't too deep in his net. Letang and Spacek were battling along the boards the play looked to be moving into the corner. Spacek wins the puck battle and Price follows the movement of the play towards Letang, by the time he picked up the puck Staal was releasing the shot. He left a tiny opening under his arm and it snuck through. It wasn't a great goal, but Spacek created that problem, he would have been better off firing it around the boards. BTW, just because a goal is shortside, doesn't mean it is a bad goal. Both goals you considered soft were one-timers. One through a screen set by Spacek, the other set up by Spacek. I don't have a good feeling about tonight. They have been playing from behind way to much lately and it is going to result in losses eventually.

Habsy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Imagine you paid good money for seats to tonights game? No Sidney Crosby, and a constant parade to the penalty box. With 2 goals scored by our juggernaut offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Didn't see much of this game. Can't say I'm sorry. It sounds like one of those no-show nights that all teams have from time to time and that you just have to file under "Forget It." Hopefully the boys get their act together next time out.

jrhabs Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Ya next game should tell ... plenty of rest these days. And for x sakes can someone please get organized and this team with these "too many men", I think they had 7 on ice actually playing at one time.
