Guest Stogey24 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Galchenyuk and Plek scored a beauty last game. Wouldn't mind seeing those two on the same line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I believe we've played Scrivens twice. Once he beat us with Toronto 2-1 and the other we shelled him in a 5-2 win. i think eller briere and bournival were skating together yesterday at practice and chuck was with plex and gio I really like this.

JMMR Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Chuck will thrive with Gio and PLEX because he will have less defensive responsibility. I think if he plays all game with those two he will contribute on the score sheet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hopefully Habs have shaken off the "NJ style" of play and are a bit more active in this game. Not that winning is ever a bad recipe, but doing just enough to win and basically playing the 5 man PK for 1/2 the game is not the most entertaining hockey.

Machine of Loving Grace Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm hoping that with a bit of rest, they'll have more energy than of late. Pretty much. Seven games in 11 days is a lot, especially when including two back to backs (Washington on road and Toronto at home and then the home and home against Jersey). The next seven in 12 is not going to be so bad as it includes only one back to back. The Kings and Blues are their toughest competition and they are divided right apart. When they go on the road to face the Blues on the 19th, they'll stay on the road until January 4. Competition wise it's a pretty easy schedule for Montreal, but that doesn't necessarily mean easy wins: 10th: Kings (contender ranked) at home 12th: Flyers (middle ranked) on road 14th: Islanders (low ranked) on road 15th: Panthers (tin can) at home 17th: Coyotes (middle ranked) at home 19th: Blues (contender ranked) on road 21st: Predators (low ranked) on road 28th: Lightning (middle ranked) on road 29th: Panthers (tin can) on road 31st: Hurricanes (middle ranked) on road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Tonight is a treat, as we witness one of the most overrated players in hockey, Drew Doughty. If he gets a secondary assist, Yzerman is going to pitch a tent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Huge game. I know Body Odour was felt to be bigger because of the rivalry, but beating heavy-duty Western Conference contenders like the Kings would really start to send the message that these guys are for real. Go PK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 This is a key set of games.... They can almost lock down a playoff spot if they can eat up these teams. I expect we will see a few bad efforts though... Holidays, road trip, and bad habits, and playing down to the competition is not a great recipe.

Guest Stogey24 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 We could be in store for a tight one. Kings are second in the league with 62 goals against, while Montreal is third with 65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 We could be in store for a tight one. Kings are second in the league with 62 goals against, while Montreal is third with 65. Our GA/G is tied at 2.00 and they are a bit better in 5 on 5 GF/A ratio. We're both strong penalty killers but their powerplay is weak at 23rd in the league. In other words, we need to break through their penalty kill (5th). LA is common to get into the box for two minutes (Only Philly, Toronto and Ottawa are worse) so we need to get them hooking and make them pay for it. Our home PP ain't like our road PP. LA actually has a lot of trouble scoring on the road. Only 27 goals. That said they are tied (with the Habs and Boston) for best road goals against (27). In other words, this could be a 2-1 game if we're not careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
