Habsfan84 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Soon to be nice game thread Cataclaw. I'm not sure what commence means but.................. This seems like it will be a big game for the Habs. If they can win this game and the game vs Toronto they get the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yea, i think it's a must win for the the division title. There playing a team that has there 3rd game in 4 nights. The habs are well rested and should have a little to prove for leaving Price out to dry in the third against the Sens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Ryder Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 The Sabres outplayed the Sens in Ottawa last night. They created tons of chances and made Ottawa look like a country club. I don't want to see this happen with the habs. We'll see if they can dominate without being desperate, i would send Bégin right at the start to go hit a d in their zone. Go habs go.

MAK Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Them Sabres will come out strong. They cannot afford to lose that game or else they might be out of playoff contention. It'll be a great test for the Habs. its sounds cliché to say it that way but its a playoff game for buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazy26 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hope the boys don't come out flat tonight. We can pretty much lock up the division with a win tonight. GO HABS GO!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but at this point of the season, before every single game, you hear about how huge it is. In reality, this is a game of little importance. Buffalo will 90% still finish out of the playoffs and we will 90% still finish 1st in our division regardless of the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally disagree with the little importance. Every game from now till playoffs is extremely important. We can make the "90%'s" either "95%'s" or "80%'s". A win will take some pressure off going into the sens game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose, what changes? Ottawa might get some ground on us, they might not. I see Ottawa as a team thats in total collapse. I don't think they are going to be able to finish off the season 4-1 or anything like that. So since we've got a pretty safe cushion in points on top of them, we'll have to go something like 2-3 or 1-4 in order for them to pass us. It's unlikely and I just don't see it happening. Now, obviously we all want to win. But if we lose... who really cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'm not sure what commence means but.................. It means the same thing in both official languages! I don't think Buffalo will have much in the gas tank. They won an OT game last night, and I watched some of it, and it was poorly played on both sides. On the other hand, I doubt we'll come out with the biggest effort either, My prediction: 4-2 win. Goals by Grabovski, Higgins, S. Kostitsyn, Plekanec.

TheAussiePosse Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 We can't think about losing. This might be the only chance we have in the next few years that we take first place in the conference. Pittsburgh has all the makings of a dynasty, one that could do in the East what Detroit has done in the West. Other teams like Florida and the Caps have great young cores. Buffalo, providing they can hold on to Miller, and keep their great scouting, will likely challenge us next season, as might Ottawa. Just like our current squad has been so successful because they fear losing, we as fans (on whose shoulders rests the weight of the world) need to demand 7 points in our next five games. Anything less is an embarassment, or particularly, a wasted opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa might get some ground on us, they might not. thats exactly what I meant. It's more about Carbonneau trying to motivate the players and keep them sharp. the players have to find a way to stay focused and be prepared to play desperate opponents.

Yes, the tricky part in these next few games will be resting his players while not getting them rusty. These last few games are good opportunities to split gametime between Grabovski, Begin, Dandenault, Kostopoulos, Smolinski, Lapierre, O'Byrne, Brisebois, Price and Halak (and Gui if he's playing). Or maybe even give Kovalev a rest of that ankle's bothering him. I just don't want Carbo to overdo it and we wind up rusty in the 1st round.

Anything less is an embarassment, or particularly, a wasted opportunity. An embarrassment? No. And we're right in the group with all the other teams that have bright futures, in fact our case looks the brightest because of our goaltending. Winning 1st in the conference is just symbolic.

MMPL Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yes, the tricky part in these next few games will be resting his players while not getting them rusty. I think Carbo should rest his players after we have clinched the division or are very close to doing so (magic #= 1 or 2). Until then we need to focus on winning and locking home ice, then the NE, then the conf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win tonight and tomorrow....2 games whioh we should, that is a huge step in getting the division and home ice. If we dont, we are fighting it out with Ottawa. Is the division title and home ice not important?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAussiePosse Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Komisarek has a hip injury ... stupid NHL decides coaches need to reveal all injuries in full, no more "lower body soreness" vaguery. And this is a coincidence somehow, when the league's leading hitter and shot-blocker goes out? Thanks guys. Real super. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenadian Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Released where? There's a team by team injury report on the NHL's website, but it's still listing Komi with a lower body injury http://freefantasy.nhl.com/hockey/reports/pp_injury.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
