xXx..CK..xXx Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Today the Montreal Canadiens square off against goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy and the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Montreal Canadiens, who have been struggling to score as of late will face Vasilevskiy, who has won 6 in a row and is coming off two consecutive shutouts. The Montreal Canadiens, led by Jonathan Drouin will look to change their luck against this red hot team.

illWill Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Or even better, Canada vs Czech Republic in the semi-final is also on. I suppose a person could also flick to the Hab's game on commercial breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Nice GDT photos Have a weird feeling the Habs are gonna win this one. Both teams are due - one to win a game, the other to lose; and I suspect what we're going to see more and more of from here on in are other teams taking the Habs lightly and occasionally being surprised in consequence. Plus the Habs had that "team meeting" following the abortion against SJ, so they will be unusually motivated. Occasional unexpected wins are part and parcel of being a POS bottom-feeding suction-eel kinda team, so I'm callin' this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 A lot of those are the 'regulars'. Surprisingly, Carr is a healthy scratch tonight. I thought he was one of Montreal's best players on Tuesday. Jacob de la Rose gets back into the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Carr had too many points since his call up. The habs don't need that right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronthab Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Actually. I feel really bad for the players. They know where they sit. They're being booed despite their best efforts and are skating around with a load of contempt on their backs. And that's too heavy. So you players go on out there and do your best and ignore us armchair disaffected and don't take it personally. Most of us should know they're all trying hard. So keep your spirits up. And fire Bergevin. So..who has a deck of cards..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think Bob Ross has a marathon on PBS. It's either that or Canada vs Czecks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Tampa looks pretty disinterested in playing tonight, which is going to make this loss even more demoralizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx..CK..xXx Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Pretty good period until that penalty near the end by Drouin, which was then nullified by a nice play by Byron who drew a penalty of his own with less than 2 seconds left.

dlbalr Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 A nice period from the Habs. De la Rose didn't show any signs of rust which was surprising considering how long he has sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s still early in the game anyway and I’ll be back to watching Habs once the period starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
