"It's easy to be confident when you have control of the puck. It's very, very difficult to keep that confidence when you gotta take whatever strange bounces life throws your way. Don't be careless, but don't be too careful either. You cannot be afraid to lose." Armia returns!

It's an extremely intriguing game for the Rocket tonight as we all get to see how Charlie Lindgren fares in his first game action in six weeks. Oh, and some top prospect guy is making his pro debut as well... On the injury front, only Jan Mysak made the trip so Laval isn't getting much help from the infirmary.

OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before. Last game of the road trip. Let's see if the Habs can end it strong, or if they're already thinking about going home to poutine and... not turning right at red lights... That's the best I can do for notable things about Montreal at 4:15am, ok?

The line must be drawn he-are! This far, no further! Ouellet draws in for Mete. Danault a game time decision. Price starts. Full lines to come. Go Habs Go!
