BrenDittero Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Would really like to see the Habs finish out the regular season at home with a win and finally secure a playoff spot. 4-2 Habs in regulation Edited April 5, 2011 by BrenDittero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 3-1 Canadiens or 4-2 Blackhawks It'll all come down to shutting down Toews, if that can be done then we have a fighting chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Kind of a big game - not because of the standings but because of the necessity of the Habs putting the slump behind them. This is a perfect opponent to build on the Jersey game: a significantly better team, but not an overpowering team (at least, not this season). Win or lose, what I want to see is the Habs building on the New Jersey contest, with really strong puck support, alert team defense. good goaltending, and some drive to the net and opportunistic scoring. Let's see Pleks and Cammy in particular stepping up their games. If the team puts in a strong overall effort I'll be happy that we're getting back to the fundamentals and that the results will soon follow.

dlbalr Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Moen will play, Halpern and Spacek won't. Same lineup as on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Could see this game going to OT/SO. It benefits both teams to do so. The Hawks are REALLY hurting down the middle with no Sharp and Bolland. No wonder they went from the 4/5 spot to 8th. Toews is amazing, but Kruger, Johnson, and Dowell behind him is just awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeahBud Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Darche will have a great game again tonight and Cammalleri will continue to miss the one-timers that used to be his bread and butter. Look for Pouliot to get back into the play tonight too. I was talking to him at hot yoga this morning and he is ready make magic happen and end his slump/ Habs win 5-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrhabs Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 We need to win tonite so we can put the AHL'ers against the sens and the laffs You know the sens and laffs are gonna try to injure a few of our guys. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period. No can do, the 4 Recall Rule prevents this from happening. Even with a win tonight, the most likely changes would be that Auld gets a start while Weber (and maybe Picard depending on his injury) get in the lineup. They're not burning any callups for a near meaningless 2 game stint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhabs Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 You think the sens and laffs are calling the games meaningless ? Everytime we play the laffs someone goes down, and the sens have revenge on their mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 You think the sens and laffs are calling the games meaningless ? Everytime we play the laffs someone goes down, and the sens have revenge on their mind So you'd prefer we waste our callups as a possible preventative measure rather than save them for games that might actually matter, in the playoffs? Even if yes, they have 3 or 4 left, it's not like everyone can be protected here. Also, the Sens are absolutely calling this a meaningless game, it'll be a road atmosphere for them despite being in Ottawa, half their farm team is up and they're fighting for dead last. I may be wrong, but I don't suspect they'll be trying hard. Toronto on the other hand, that game could mean something. Also, from my Picard note earlier, he is unavailable to play this week. Scratch another one off the list of players who could play to give ___ a rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrenDittero Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 You think the sens and laffs are calling the games meaningless ? Everytime we play the laffs someone goes down, and the sens have revenge on their mind I understand your reasoning but it's not a great idea just before the playoffs. If it didn't happen against Boston, it certainly wouldn't happen now. We'll be fine for the new 2 games, please don't prove me wrong.

brobin Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I wouldn't mind seeing Price take the last two games off. He has played way too many games and if we lock it up tonight, let Auld take Ottawa and maybe even Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrenDittero Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Poor gomez.. he really is trying hard to score. He needs to get a bounce at some point. Actually Gomez isn't poor at all. By the looks of the HW cap calculator he's pulling in about 39 thousand a day. Maybe Scotty will donate to my " Help Mike Cammalleri buy a goal " foundation for struggling forwards. Maybe if there's a couple bucks left over he could buy one for himself. Edited April 6, 2011 by BrenDittero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brobin Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 That was a pretty soft hooking call.. again. I swear I watch worse happen to Gomez and Pleks every night with nary a call, but our guys get called every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 lol.. cross checked from behind in front of the net.. happens every 20 seconds and they called a softie... Its not like Hammer "hammered him down" or took away a scoring chance.. just battling. If that was a penalty, we are owed a lot of power plays.

BCHabnut Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I didn't mind a few non calls when the boys were buzzing around Crawford, but those were two pretty soft calls. To be fair though, Subban needs to be careful when he fools around with the puck when he's the last man back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
