GDT Game 2, Sens vs Habs, 7 PM

[dlbalr 1067]

just curious is there any chance that Emelin will come back for the playoffs?

No chance. There's no guarantee he'll be ready for training camp.

Who is that babe in the game day thread?

Need I remind you that we badly outplayed Ottawa in this game, so Ottawa's so-called strategy *did not work!!!* Our team played very well. Stop being so results oriented and realize that they won because of Anderson and we lost because of Price. Switch goalies in this game and we win 6 - 0. It really bugs me that people are putting down on how our team played when they played one of their best games of the season. They were stoned by Ottawa's goalie, not by Ottawa's style of play. (And please don't tell me that most of our shots were perimeter shots because they weren't. Anderson made many highlight-reel saves.)

It is a team game but... Can't win in football when the QB is bad; can't win in baseball when the pitcher is bad; can't win in hockey when the goalie is bad.

I don't want to see our team play goon hockey. I want to see us play exactly like we did last night and have Anderson come back down to Earth!!!

Of course it worked. This is a 7 game series. They were sacrificing a pawn for the later games. As I said, they still one, but better still, they raised the odds of them winning the remaining games.

Well, Shanny saw what I saw, a failure to hit the body, but contact with the head. It doesn't really matter if it was malicious, people get suspended all the time for checks gone wrong.

I got the same sickening feeling yesterday seeing Eller laying face down motionless as I did with the patches hit from Chara.

I think either hitting needs to be completely tamed or full cages need to be worn by players. One day some poor player is not gonna get up. Sorry if people don't agree, but fighting and big hits need to be taken out of the game. Other wise the "hockey play" excuse will always be there.

What happened to Crosby is what you call a hockey play gone bad, and still it is hard to watch.

Anyways Go habs Go...........Lets get one for Larry!

Price doesn't have to be great, just needs to make the saves he should. If he can't Budaj deserves a chance.

[Athlétique.Canadien 17]

It's definitely time for the Habs to test their mettle. Now go out & win.

[Lovett's Magnatones 33]

I think they'll be some sort of retaliation. Prust, in particular, and Subban from the bench, didn't appear "to be in their right minds." Plus three lines tonight has some sort of shite disturber. Therrien was so mad his English got worse.

Who is that babe in the game day thread?

Her name is Christine and shes at Habsordie.com

Thats all i know.

Especially if LW asks.

Looks like Dumont, Halpern and Colby are in

Anyone have the lines.

Would hope Chucky and Gallagher are with Pleks.

Nope.

Bourque - Plekanec - Ryder

Prust - Galchenyuk - Gallagher

Moen - Desharnais - Dumont

White - Halpern - Armstrong

[Toronthab 411]

Ok, we tried shirtless men, and that didn't work..... so I've got a new strategy tonight.

Catherine, wearing her Carey Price jersey, to inspire him to a better performance tonight.

My God women are beautiful!!

What hockey game? balafafoajfaewofe]eeaasdfjas]

[dlbalr 1067]

Stay on topic, guys. Based on the standard we have for pictures, I probably should be deleting the pic so let's not call too much attention to it. Thanks.

[Lovett's Magnatones 33]

Nope.

Bourque - Plekanec - Ryder

Prust - Galchenyuk - Gallagher

Moen - Desharnais - Dumont

White - Halpern - Armstrong

Yeesh. That's a tenth place forward corps.

I've softened my view of the hit and , if he'd fallen otherwise , he probably would have just got up for the next play.

But I agree with you. Sport does not justify a reckless disregard for human life and wellbeing.

The best way to achieve better results is open to discussion, regulations or equipment.

Cheers'

Go Habs Go!!

[dlbalr 1067]

With Gionta out, there's an extra 'A' to be worn (no one has the 'C' obviously). Prust will be one of the alternate captains tonight.

Cory Conacher is a healthy scratch for Ottawa. Matt Kassian will replace him in the lineup. Kassian-Smith-Neil is Ottawa's starting forwards.

[Toronthab 411]

It is time for the ghosts to enter the game.

ooops... sorry.

[johnnyhasbeen 53]

Luckily we are only playing a team that scaped into the playoffs...

Yeesh. That's a tenth place forward corps.

I think he was unconscious before he hit the ice, which is why he fell like that.

[Toronthab 411]

If I told you going in that we would be missing Gionta, Pacioretty and Eller, and that Price would play poorly, you'd have been pessimistic too. Rational analysis says we will lose. Of course we could end up defying the odds. But pessimism *is* the rational option at this point.

I could hardly believe my eyes. Good night Irene.

Great. Whenever that clown is on the ice, it'll be a powerplay.

[Toronthab 411]

That was my first thought yesterday, and now that you remind me, that makes more sense. Poor guy.

God help the Habs tonight.

[Toronthab 411]

Prevost Linten does a wonderful anthem. No little catches of breath and ad libbed 'personal' notes.

Jean looks like he's soon to join the superstars watching the game from upstairs.

I see MT has bigger balls than I do , putting Price back in.

[hab29RETIRED 230]

Wow, just found out maxpac AND gionta out. 6 4th liners in for us.

Is it too late to add Leblanc or Kristo to the playoff roster???

[brobin 133]

That was my first thought yesterday, and now that you remind me, that makes more sense. Poor guy.

God help the Habs tonight.

The video shows the head shot clearly. The danger isn't a broken nse or some teeth, it is the concussion from the initial hit that can keep him out a long time.

[habscout 46]

Go Habs Go!

Must win tonight, for Larry, for respect, much more.
