whether Rask will start over Thomas. I don't see that happening yet

myself. As for other Boston changes, I think we could see Seguin this

game. Chara remains questionable with the flu. For the Habs,

Kostitsyn is taking the morning skate with his usual line while Halpern is also skating, platooning with Desharnais.</td>

GO HABS GO!!!!

TheDriveFor25 · April 18, 2011

This is the BIGGEST game of the series...

IF Boston wins then they realize 1) They can win in Montreal and 2) are 1 game away from erasing their horrible start.

IF Montreal wins then they take a HUGE lead and probably put the Bruins in a season over mindset.

GO HABS GO!!!!

BrenDittero · April 18, 2011

So far the Bell Centre has not been good to the Big Bad Bruins, hope they get more of the same this evening.

Chris · April 18, 2011

I have the same game keys.

3 penalties or less

out work the Bruins

score 3 goals

Keep the puck deep in the Bruins zone and use your speed.

Toronthab · April 18, 2011

Combine this with my crossed fingers and we should be ok! :1gohabs:

YeahBud · April 18, 2011

I have the Beer, Subban Jersey and my facial hair ready for tonights game.

There is nothing else I can do...

johnnyhasbeen · April 18, 2011

As karma always does pay off, I hope the gods give Chara a second game suspension for his hit on Max Pac.

Oops...got to run, lol.

dlbalr · April 18, 2011

Tonight's refs: Dan O'Halloran and Brian Pochmara. I don't mind the first but Pochmara? :wall:

dlbalr · April 18, 2011

Kostitsyn has been upgraded to probable for tonight, he is skating in practice on his usual line. As for Halpern, he too is skating, alternating with Desharnais. This is leading to some speculation that Desharnais may be scratched tonight. Interestingly enough, this is exactly what I called for in yesterday's HW Recap.

Chips · April 18, 2011

No official prediction again for tonight. I think the boys have this one well in hand!

GO HABS GO!

ps. Joe! so looking forward to the dance... :1banana:

In other words: the KISS strategy (Keep It Simple, Stupid). Sage advice. :thumbs_up:

Good to see Halpern getting close. Could be useful, but no need to rush him. We're winning the matchup game even without last change, and White is doing good taking draws as well.

dlbalr · April 18, 2011

Officially, Halpern/Kostitsyn are being classified as game-time decisions. As for Chara, he is at the B's morning skate.

PMAC · April 18, 2011

I have the same game keys.

3 penalties or less

out work the Bruins

score 3 goals

Keep the puck deep in the Bruins zone and use your speed.

What I want is the same as last game Score first, score again and continue to frustrate the Brooons :1gohabs: :habslogo:

PMAC · April 18, 2011

I have the Beer, Subban Jersey and my facial hair ready for tonights game.

There is nothing else I can do...

Tonight it will be as for the previous 2 games: large habs mug with Magners cider, habs flask (left empty because I have to work 2 hours after the game ends) habs jersey and of course my Habs boxers :1gohabs: :habslogo: I can't wait for game 3.

Easy Ryder · April 18, 2011

I really hope PMAC does wash his habs boxers between winning games.

Andrei K should be there to take care of Chara if he put his yellow dress on.

I am pretty sure i saw him hit him in the ribs third period first game.

That would be logic with him having trouble to breath.

Dont't underestimate how heavy Andrei is, he can hurt if he wants to and he seems

to enjoy hitting Chara.

Somebody should take care of Bok choi too, i would like to see Pouliot do that.

BrenDittero · April 18, 2011

Tonight is our night to put another nail in the coffin. Get yer hammers out boys.

JoeLassister · April 18, 2011

It was coming.

It is here :

It was there.

habs rule · April 18, 2011

play the system play it well keep focused stay out of the box, oh and if we could accidently break chara's ankle in a good old hockey play (see b clark) then we will be fine. :1gohabs: :habslogo:

jrhabs · April 18, 2011

I think we should remove the stanchions for tonite and put a big fluffy pooh bear instead

Anyone ?

YeahBud · April 18, 2011

Tonight is our night to put another nail in the coffin. Get yer hammers out boys.

Yes and then its straight to adding the velvet lining....

I think Benoit Pouliot is going to go off tonight! can't wait for elastic man to fak some sh!t up!

dlbalr · April 18, 2011

Quite a few notes on the Habs/Bruins series found their way into Elliotte Friedman's 30 thoughts, some of them are quite interesting. Here's the link: http://www.cbc.ca/sp...0-thoughts.html

Also, some Boston lineup notes, Chara's probable, as is Thomas to start while Seguin once again appears to be a healthy scratch. http://www.csnne.com/04/18/11/Its-looking-good-for-Chara-to-play-Game-/landing_bruins.html?blockID=506227&feedID=3352

Not sure why you said that would be an unpopular decision, Brian. Frankly, I thought it made total sense. As much as I am a Desharnais supporter, at this point Halpern's veteran saavy outweighs Desharnais' youthful enthusiasm (and pointless streak). Having said that, should Pouliot sit instead and Martin opt to dress the two centres down the road, it would not be a horrible option either.

saskhab · April 18, 2011

7:30 start? Good, I can actually get something to eat before the game starts.

Generally, any time I say anything remotely negative about Desharnais, I get some less than friendly e-mails calling me a wide variety of things while insinuating I'm anti-French. I've learned that he's one of the people that I really have to dress up my criticism in order to save myself some grief later. Fortunately, I haven't heard from those people since the start of this pointless streak so perhaps they've discovered that even though he's young, he's not exempt from criticism.
