DON Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Well, impossible for these 2 teams to play as boring games as we just had to suffer through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I bet White will sit for Parros. If they want a tougher 4th line though, that might mean Bournival comes out. My personal preference would be that Bournival moves with Galchenyuk/Eller and Prust comes down to the 4th line C (as they did vs Toronto) but I have my doubts that will happen.

DON Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Match-up of Finn vs Canada starting tenders? Top 2 goalies in league at present (too bad Leafs didn't keep Rask eh)? Parros eh? Weakens team, but got to dress him some games I guess and Habs have last change, which can hopefully minimize risk of actually having him on ice.

I know it's not going to happened but another combo which would bring the EGG line back together..Pac-DD-Bournival Briere-Plek-Gionta Galchenyuk-Eller- Gallagher Moen-Prust-Parros I know that's a big bump up for Bournival, but I think it could work....

Do you really want to mess with Pacioretty/Desharnais right now though? Those guys are supposed to be the offensive producers, not the 'EGG' line. The priority should be to get the veterans going in which case I'd want to leave well enough alone with that line for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, your right. I just feel like Galchenyuk and Gallagher are so deadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Early reports suggest White is out. Whether that's for Bourque if he's healthy or Parros remains to be seen. Bouillon is also expected to sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 If I was to play with a winning formula, it would be to get Bournival on the RW instead of Prust so the fourth line matches perfectly with theirs. Especially if Parros is going in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 This one should be a dandy, i wonder if Parros will introduce himself to Mr Lucic. We need to keep playing in their end of the ice. Hard forehecking and lots of pressure. Gonna be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to keep playing in their end of the ice. Hard forehecking and lots of pressure. Gonna be a good one. Lucic rarely fights now. He's calming down. Julien and Neely have been drilling into him it's better to get the other team angry than be angry yourself. An angry Lucic usually costs Boston games. It ain't like an angry Chara where nobody can do anything about him. Angry Lucic takes a penalty almost every shift. Angry Chara can fight anyone and gets angry to the crease. Also, Lucic would turn down a fight with Parros. What do you do then? Nothing. Just like what happened with Laraque. So what needs to be done? Get Lucic angry. Who does that better than anyone in the league? That guy who won a Norris trophy last year and will be on the ice pretty much every time the Bruins top line will be.

dlbalr Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Tonight marks the 5th straight time that Montreal and Boston play with the division on the line. Three times (including this game) they've been within a point, the other two times they were tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good points, and I guess Mr Gallagher will have something to say as well. Then we might see Parros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hmm, according to John Lu, Bourny is back with Pleks and Briere is with the kids. Not a bad idea. Bournival played well with Plekanec and Gionta while Briere has some offensive talent unlike Prust. I think a lot of Eller and Galchenyuk's struggles recently have stemmed from not having an offensive RW on that line, maybe this helps.

Neech Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I agree that it should help Galchenyuk and Eller, especially since Briere has been in good form lately. I wonder if Therrien will still sub him out for Prust or Moen in defensive situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
