Last Meeting:

I'm strictly guessing on the Buffalo defence pairings based off who they started the game with in their last matchup. Habs catch a break with no Miller tonight either. Still no word on whether Pyatt will return to the lineup for Boyd or not.

Plekanec questionable for tonight with the flu. Lines if he can't go:

Kostitsyn - Gomez - Gionta

Cammalleri - Eller - Moen

Pouliot - Halpern - Darche

Boyd - Pyatt - Lapierre

With Plek's sitting this is Ellers chance to shine. If it does work out this way tonight I hope we see what the Dane can do!

As for putting Kosts with the G'G's., not sure this will work but its worth the shot I guess...

I cannot bare another loss tonight, so lets move this forward with a victory!

GO HABS GO!

and our grunt line comes back and scores for us.. funny.. when you hit the net, some of them go in (note to Gomez.. you also have to try shooting, to have a chance to hit the net, to have a chance to score... )

Markov also gets his first point since being back on that goal.

Also that puts Pouliot 2 points on the season over Latendresse, but Latendresse has played 5 less games and is on the IR down in minnie.

That line is on fire. Pouliot puts the Habs up by 1.

Essentially a collection of misfits and (deemed by Martin at least) underachievers - Darche is a fringe player, Halpern was a late signing, and Pouliot...well, we all know he's bounced around needlessly between lines this year. Funny how things pan out sometimes.

I was impressed in the second half of the 2nd period, the Habs tried to stretch the D and get their transition game going and they had lots of good chances as a result. If they play like that for the 3rd, they should be fine. However, as we've seen too many times before, will the Habs sit on the lead and let Buffalo dictate the play? I sure hope not...if they do, at least Price looks solid again tonight.
