MMPL Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Haven't heard lineup news yet, so post it if you can and I'll put it in the thread. Game is at 7:00 ET. Catch it on RDS (and Zone de Match). This is our final preseason game, so Price shoud get the nod. Edited October 3, 2008 by MMPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Haven't heard lineup news yet, so post it if you can and I'll put it in the thread. This is our final preseason game, so Price shoud get the nod. O'Byrne, Halak, Bouillon won't play. Markov doubtful I expect Lapierre and chipchura to play and whoeverplays better will start in montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markov doubtful I expect Lapierre and chipchura to play and whoeverplays better will start in montreal. just read that on RDS. Bob Gainey confirmant vendredi que le Tricolore commencera la saison avec les 23 joueurs déjà liés par contrat. C'est dire que Max Pacioretty, Kyle Chipchura et Yannick Weber vont entreprendre la saison à Hamilton Bob said that everybody with an NHL contract will start the season meaning that Max, Kyle and Yannick would start in Hamilton. of course should bouillon not be able to start, Weber would stay.

Why would Weber stay if we have Breezer around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Why would Weber stay if we have Breezer around? I was looking for a 7th D but I forgot about Dandy who's still around. A.Kostitsyn-Plekanec-Kovalev; Higgins-Koivu-Tanguay; Latendresse-Lang-S.Kostitsyn; Bégin-Lapierre-Kostopoulos.

MMPL Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Dandy better be moved, I like the guy but he is pretty useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy26 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Dandy better be moved, I like the guy but he is pretty useless. I don't think he's useless... he's just not required and/or necessary for our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMPL Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 I don't think he's useless... he's just not required and/or necessary for our team. I agree, he doesn't fit here at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I agree, he doesn't fit here at all. I think as a 7th defender and 13th forward you can't get much better than Dandy. He has speed to burn, is coachable, versatile, and as a depth player, very reliable. He also has valuable experience and knows what it takes to win big games. His contract is unfortunate, but that's what probably makes him almost impossible to move as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to be an everyday player, and has said so on two separate occasions to the press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMPL Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 13th forward is Begin/Kosto/Laps/Laraque. They will all take turns sitting, Dandy is not the 13th forwrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortHanded Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Gahh, so that's it for Chipper for now then? As for lineups, from Habinsideout: The forward lines – and it's a good bet they'll be facing the Sabres when the season begins in Buffalo – are: AK46 - Tomas Plekanec - Alex Kovalev Christopher Higgins - Saku Koivu - Alex Tanguay Guillaume Latendresse - Robert Lang - SK74 Steve Bégin - Maxim Lapierre - Tom Kostopoulos Francis Bouillon's injury means Yannick Weber gets another start, paired on defence with Mathieu Dandenault. Carey Price in nets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brobin Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I hope we don't face these guys for the cup... not sure we could beat them. They do a great job of taking away the offense's space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 You know, every time I think we don't need Begin, he goes out there on the PK and impresses the hell out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I hope we don't face these guys for the cup... not sure we could beat them. They do a great job of taking away the offense's space. I doubt it. I'm not even expecting Minny to make the playoffs this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I doubt it. I'm not even expecting Minny to make the playoffs this year. I doubt it too, but once again we are seeing a team that knows how to beat Montreal.. play physical and take the space away. Montreal sure does have trouble handling "pressure" on the puck handler. Hopefully they can improve on it this year as that is huge in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partisan Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 we were off the whole game. no coordination, passes in the skate..... Nothing too constructive to say about this game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 we were off the whole game. no coordination, passes in the skate..... Nothing too constructive to say about this game... I disagree. The Kosto-Lapierre-Begin line was all over Minn 4th. Some good plays by the 3 other lines. D was not that good. Not every teams got 9 games in 13 days... I really like Tanguay at the point on PP.
