simonus Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 don't know if I'll be able to catch this one - my last final exam is today and I'll be wanting to go celebrate.

dlbalr Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Maxwell has been sent down to Hamilton, Laraque will play this game. http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/265556.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Sorry guys, this one will be a blow out, 5-2 Flyers. The habs can't score more then 2, the Flyers score plenty of goals. #1 PP against a team that at times takes alot of penalties. Not a good combination for a victory. I'm hoping i'll get to see Laraque win a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 TSN reporting O'Byrne will not play, so that pretty much confirms Komisarek's return to the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Poor O'Byrne. He had his shot and he screwed up and, well, in Montreal that brings you no love. Bad break hope he comes back better. Anyway Komi don't fight please (hear that BGL?). I'd put Gorges on the first pairing and Komi with Hammer but what do I know... Get the first goat boys . . . and the second and third would be nice. I call D'Ago and Kovy for the first two. Go Habs Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CerebusClone Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Nothing to worry about, Carbonneay talked to the players for 7 minutes, and asked them to work harder. That's ground-breaking, dynamite stuff! We see why he was nominated for the Jack Adams, we can't lose this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Komisarek's exuberance for coming back on the ice spills over to the rest of the team. I can't imagine the young guys are doing much communicating out there, either.

sbhatt Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 TSN reporting O'Byrne will not play, so that pretty much confirms Komisarek's return to the lineup. To the press box maybe. To Hamilton, perhaps. To hell, for all I care....I'm just glad Komi is back and I don't have to watch O'Byrne's bumbling any more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone read the full quotes of the players? They feel they're unprepared. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Okay, chiming in since I was pretty good last game. In a dramatic turn of events, Montreal hammers Philly 7-2. Power play goes 4/6. Kovalev, with his first 4-goal game in ages, is first star and his six points propels him up the scoring leaderboard. Komi comes in and in the first period levels Upshall and puts him out 6-8 weeks with a major shoulder injury. The other star of the game, Andrei Kostypants, fires home once, but assists on 5 others and he too barrels a few Flyers into the boards. Having mercy on the Canadiens, the refs only call 10 PP's against Les Habitants rather than 11 as in last game. The Flyers only score once. O'Byrne is seen in the upper levels of the stadium eating a hot dog. Three Flyers turn down Laraque's invitations to the dance. Carbo, in his post-game conference, when asked about everyone refusing Laraque, smiles knowingly then replies, "Next question." Foreshadowing the future, Koivu, who is resting his injury, comments to media in Montreal that he feels rested. Coincidentally, after the holidays when he hits the ice again, he doesn't have his usual slump, and instead turns up the heat right through the Stanley Cup finals where he's named Conn Smythe winner and parades the Cup up and down Ste. Catherines. He signs a contract that keeps him in Montreal until he retires. He will point to this game as the one which seemed to tip the balance of the season and turn the Habs around. Does that balance out the tongue-in-cheek negativism of last game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenadian Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 PLAY BETTER! Keep the sticks down, and don't grab anyone with your free hand, and we might pull this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCHabnut Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Nice to see Lapierre playing with some talented guys. I was hoping Lats could play with Lang and Kovy once...I really wanted to see that combo. I still like the line combos. Lats and Laps should look good. Love to see SK pick up a point tonight. I can see that second line getting burned. Tanguay will have to play smart and backcheck hard.

Well, they had a boat load of tripping calls, too! Maybe they should play soccer style, they'd score about the same amount. Haha! Glad Komisarek is back in the fold this evening. BGL, too.
