saskhab Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Boyd and Subban in, Gomez and Weber out. From a pure results point of view, having Subban in is a no brainer: he makes our 3rd D pairing more effective, and when you're playing Detroit IN Detroit, that means a lot. Especially since down Gomez the Habs will likely be rotating mainly 3 lines 5 on 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Plus without Gomez we need somebody to carry the puck. Yep. But you can guarantee anytime that Detroit sees Picard-Subban out there for a draw one of Datsyuk or Zetterberg will be on the ice. Babcock doesn't mess around with that kind of thing. If it were Picard-Weber, he might put them both out there together. I assume Martin is telling everyone to have 35 second shifts tonight. It's going to be a heck of a lot of line tactics.

BCHabnut Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Detroit shifts are short and their puck pursuit is the most tenacious in the league. This should be a good one. Montreal definitely needed someone to carry the puck with Gomer out. I'm a little disapointed that Weber is out. I liked what I saw of him. I guess he doesn't want to split up Gorges Gill, and you can't split up Hammer Spacek the way they been playing lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I filled in the missing info for you - one game note, Zetterberg/Datsyuk will start on different lines tonight but are expected to be back together by the end.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 As others have remarked...this is a real good test of whether we might actually be the contenders we think we might be. Big one tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brobin Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 anyone else shit their pants when Pleks was down.. I feared knee, but he looks okay.. back in a minute, need to change... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Damn Gil is good on a 5-3 the way he lays it down and totally blocks the low play... sure makes it easier on the goalie and two other defenders.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 so close, but Gorges has to smother that or get it out.. he played around and it broke down the coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illWill Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 yeah, that goal was definitely on Gorges, although he was dead tired. Not too bad of a period considering the 4 minor penalties against to 0 for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Rafalski dive was very weak for a 5 on 3 call. Even the too many men call. It was literally a fraction of a second. This game is iritating me a little. Gotta stay outta the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was literally a fraction of a second. This game is iritating me a little. Gotta stay outta the box I agree, that pen was extremely weak. Rafalski was bent over so far that when Plex knocked his stick he lost his balence. I dont think Plex even made contact with him, just his stick.

Habsfan Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Anyone else hearing what I'm hearing? Ole ole ole in Joe Louis Arena!!! I don't believe it! C'mon boys, we've got the momentum. Only down by one goal and plenty of time to go! Keep up the pressure, i get the feeling the Red wings are backing off a little!

Seb Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I only watched the 3rd... and the it's like the Wings didn't even show. And the refs put their whistles away, which is too bad, considering they gave Detroit a 6-1 advantage in PPs the rest of the game. Ah well, hell of a period, that's for sure. It was entertaining.

Habsfan84 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 horrid reffing tonight. 6 powerplays to 1 which killed us. Pleks penalty was not a penalty. And then the refs missed a few at the end of the game. but i guess what do you expect. the Wings always get the calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illWill Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Such a frustrating game to watch. The effort was there, as well as the chances. The reffing seemed kinda biased, perhaps the swedish ref was playing favorites with all the swedish wings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Reffing aside, the 2nd period did the Habs in tonight. When all the PK's were done, they just weren't able to get anything going, Detroit got that 3rd goal and that was that. A tremendous 3rd period though, I just hope they didn't burn too much energy going for the tie that it costs them tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
