Nice pic of Price.

This is a "should-win" game, so I hope the boys don't underestimate the Isles and expect to win by simply showing up. It will be interesting to see how Streit and Danis fare against their old club. I expect Higgins and Komi to bring their usual NY effort to Long Island... it might just be what is needed to energize the "3rd" line (I haven't been overly impressed). It'd be nice to see Pleks regain some of his form... the Jason Blake-esque shooting percentage has gotta go!

GO HABS GO!!!!

Hoping for a Habs shelling of Halak!
And really hoping that the AK46-Tplex-AK27 line gets going!!!

anti-jinx?

edit: or typo?

indeed

I'm thinking he meant Danis guys...

That said, this is a must-win game. We've got to dominate the weaker teams and seeing a solid, consistent effort would be a nice treat. No moar tricks!

So true. I hope that's not this year's media picture. It's like the biggest triangle hair ever.... Actually, Danis' picture throws me off too... I seem to remember his hair being a lot thinner on top... Product, anyone (propecia maybe )

I was thinking Photoshop, actually... what kind of product adds that much thickness lol.

GO HABS GO

Any news if BGL is in?

Not sure, but I hope so. I can remember the Isles running our goalies in years past.

Time for the Habs to get their offense going and put up 5 or 6 goals tonite. I expect Pleks to net at least one tonite. Hopefully see BGL back in the lineup for maybe Dandy. Really tough to take Kosto out of the lineup right now. As for Begin, looks like he's gonna have to sit until the injury bug hits.

Cmon Habs.

From TSN's Ice Chips:

The Canadiens have made three lineup changes in preperation for Saturday's game against the Islanders. Georges Laraque, Steve Bégin and Ryan O'Byrne will replace Mathieu Dandenault, Tom Kostopolos and Patrice Brisebois. - TSN

The Kosty brothers are due for a breakout tonight. Pleks too.

Maybe Carbo remembers the game last year when Begin shiped 2 goals and figures maybe he can do it again.

Not holding my breath. I guess the 4th line rotation will keep going as long as everyone is healthy.

Is Danis a lock to start?

It would be a huge disapointment if Habs dont win this one.

Does anyone know if there will be a CBC broadcast? or will the leafs get National coverage today?

KOVY!

Nice vintage unis for Isles

This is nauseating listening to the Isles feed.

Trade Higgins

It's Leafs - Rags over here

Damn havent seen any Habs game this year, they broadcast shit on NASN...

Trade Price.

Groan...wake up Carey!

That was brutal! They better not sleepwalk through this game.

The Isles are garbage

wow, stinker

You can buy webcast Habs games on RDS.ca, 2.99$ each.

Geezus, some games Price is on fire some games I'd like to set him on fire! I hope he learns consistency some time this year. How he comes back from a goal like that will interest me, it definitely pissed him off. No excuses, it was a gaffe.

That five hole was Alan Besteresque

LOL, don't start those comparisons! It was a pure lazy goal like a couple of games ago. He is a mentally tough goalie, but he looks so bloody lazy on some goals.

Not a good sign

And speaking of lazy, nice hard working penalty there Gui...NOT

They need to stop believing their hype. You need to work hard every night or you will lose
to shitty teams. This is just way to many PP opportunities in the last 3 periods.

Lazy play will eventually bite you in the ass.

bleah

You're right! At least Pricey is clearly pissed off with himself, I like that.

Kovy PK pizzazz

The first 4 minutes was all habs...
now they're exchanging punches with a bottom feeding team...I don't like what i saw that period; we're buying into the islanders game...it should be the other way around!

Geez. Wake up Carey!

######ing brutal.

PP after PP after PP. When will this team learn that you need discipline to win?

You know, as a fan, I'm ready for every game and I'm not being paid millions...how come this team seems to only be ready for every other game?

ok lets get this forking thing turned around and get some forking goals!!!!!!!! beat the crap out of him george.

We get Laraque and he turns into a bitch?

Somebody kick these iceholes in the farging bells to wake the farging iceholes up! Let's wake up you motherfarging corksoackers!

***sorry, just watched Johnny Dangerously again ;-)***

Unbelievable. 13 of the last 15 PPs have been against the Habs.

Somebody needs to wake these guys up

Are they going to make Danis work? Doubled up in shots by a 5 pt team

They're playing maybe the worst team in the league with not only a 3rd string goalie, but a guy who wasn't even that good in the AHL for us last year. This is almost disgusting enough to flip to the leaf love fest on CBS!

Not exactly what I was expecting to tune in to tonight
