Sept. 28, Pittsburgh vs Montreal, 7 PM

Here are the rosters for tonight's preseason game in Quebec. There are 13 F and 7 D listed for each team so there will be a couple of healthy scratches among these.

Puck drop is at 7 PM. RDS has the game (and I think they're the only ones to be doing the TV coverage).

Pittsburgh has a lot of young, hungry players playing. Habs are playing with almost a full roster.

I wouldn't be surprised if we lose but I'd rather we win just because.

It's the reverse of last year. Colorado sent a lot of their regulars while Montreal iced the minimum number of veterans (and I believe Bouillon and Bowman were in there to get to the minimum). The Habs were the hungrier team and wound up winning.

The lines:

de la Rose - Plekanec - Gallagher

Eller - Galchenyuk - Semin

Fleischmann - Desharnais - Weise

Flynn - Hudon - Scherbak

Markov - Subban

Emelin - Petry

Barberio - Gilbert

The scratches (ones who made the trip but won't play are Beaulieu and Mitchell).

Was the goal called off? Score says 1-1

The scoreboard is only getting updated once in a while. Since it's a non-NHL arena, the stat system each arena uses isn't in place. Thus, they manually add in goal details between periods, at commercial breaks, etc.

Pretty much dominated this game.

Eller and Semin seem to flip sides a lot. Eller got a goal that was pretty lucky and then missed an empty net after.

Semin takes a lot of weak angle shots at the goalie.

Barberio always connects his passes.

Putting guys like DLR and Flynn with Plek and Gallagher just stifles them. Can't wait for Patches to get back.

Quebec City hates Subban.

don't get why they wouldn't try Scherbak with them.

Because it's his first game in three weeks after playing through pain in the rookie tourney (where he struggled). That, and he's not ready. From what I heard/read, he was out of his league against opposition fourth lines tonight, it would have been even worse if they threw him to the wolves and had him play top line minutes.

My secret agent decoder ring wasn't working tonite so I couldn't watch the game. Then we got very busy so it made no difference. Saw the highlights that is about it. Nice we won a game, but that looked like our A negative team so we should win. :)

You can tell Sherbak is still growing into his body, which isn't a bad thing.

Not at all.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Scherbak. Just far too many people got overhyped on his potential and thought he could be ready early like Gallagher and Galchenyuk were.

Scherbak is going to need at least a season in the AHL, possibly two. That's fine.
