Davehab Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 we are gonna get creamed tonight....but it will be nice to see Beaulieu and Avtsin in action Quote
dlbalr Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I'll add the Buffalo lineup momentarily...it could be a long night considering what the Sabres are going with. Quote
BCHabnut Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I predict a serious beating tonight. That lineup isn't even fair. lol Quote
sakiqc Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Lineups don't seem fair, but we have to take it on the positive side: it's a very nice opportunity to see many of our prospects facing a NHL caliber team. We can get a better idea of where they are at then if they were playing against another B team. Quote
BCHabnut Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Oh for sure. It's pre season. I have zero emotional attachment to these games. It's also fun to watch the yougsters. Quote

We can get a better idea of where they are at then if they were playing against another B team. It generally evens out over the course of the preseason. I remember last year noting how the Habs iced the weaker lineup a few times but then they got the 'gift' from the Isles when they sent no one of consequence for the last game. Quote
Athlétique.Canadien Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I'll laugh if we cream them. BAHAHAHAHA! Quote
JoeLassister Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 hahaha looks like an HWL team with a GM against a team without a GM. Quote
BCHabnut Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I'll laugh if we cream them. BAHAHAHAHA! Lovin the C 0le tag. That is awesome! Did we do the prediction contest yet? Quote
Natural Mystic Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Well this will be interesting. I've just been counting down the hours today, playing Sega genesis........ I'm going to make some food. Quote
brobin Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 You never know. We could have some hungry rookies against a bunch of 'starting easy' vets from Buffalo. Price sucked last night in his first game. Miller might suck tonight. (note,the realist in me thinks we are going to get creamed. ) Quote
Natural Mystic Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I always expect the highest potential from the Habs. Regardless of the challenges in front of them. Unfortunately, I expect that with my friends and family, which doesn't go over well. Go Habs Go!! Quote
Athlétique.Canadien Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Lovin the C 0le tag. That is awesome! Did we do the prediction contest yet? It'd be awesome if the Bell crowd starting signing it on a good Cole night. Quote
BCHabnut Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Bad giveaway by Beaulieu but he looks good. Steal of the draft? Quote
BCHabnut Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I gotta say Spacek looks faster. He looks better on his natural side too. 1 Quote
dlbalr Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 A much better (and more entertaining) first period to say the least. Gallagher has been active, as have Dumont and Desharnais in particular. On the back end, it's nice to see Gorges looking like his usual self while St. Denis and Henry have been decent for AHL'ers. As for a stat that caught my eye (limited as I can't find the detailed stuff), I refer you to the last HW Twitter post. Quote
Wamsley01 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Budaj is a major upgrade over Auld. Quote
dlbalr Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 One other note as I skim through the scratches, it's nice to see that the trio of Russians who have never reported (Kruchinin, Sidyakin, and Korneev) are in the scratch list meaning they're still on the 90-man roster. I've had people call me out in e-mails for even thinking the first two were still in the organization but I'm right after all. Oh well, back to the game... http://www.nhl.com/ice/boxscore.htm?id=2011010018 Quote
brobin Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Do we have any young forwards that are skilled, strong, AND big? Quote
BCHabnut Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I forgot Avstin was in the game. He's big Quote
