dlbalr Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The preseason comes to an end tonight as the Habs travel to Ottawa for a rematch vs the Sens. Projected Montreal Lines: (Guesses based on the game-day roster) Pacioretty - Plekanec - Gallagher Eller - Galchenyuk - Kassian Fleischmann - Desharnais - Weise de la Rose - Mitchell - Smith-Pelly Beaulieu - Petry Emelin - Gilbert Tinordi - Pateryn Tokarski Projected Ottawa Lines: Hoffman - Turris - Stone Michalek - Zibanejad - Ryan MacArthur - Pageau - Lazar Chiasson - Smith - Neil Wiercioch - KarlssonMethot - CeciCowen - Borowiecki O'Connor (he's in the net usually occupied by the starter at practice) Puck drop is at 7 PM on RDS and TSN 5. Centre Ice is on free preview right now on several (all?) Canadian TV carriers so most should be able to watch the English broadcast at least.

DON Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 A Gordie-Howe hat trick maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Where is Semin? Well here we are, the last practice game, the next game is for points and begins the long annual climb to the CUP. Will this be #25? Man that would make me happy. Let's not have any injuries tonight and let's give the Sens some of their own back from the last game. Like to see some goals scored tonight. Let's go Habs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link67 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 can't wait to see that Pleky line at work for a whole season, should be a heck of a year for all 3 of those guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'm interested to see how beau lieu fairs tonight with top pairing minutes with petry. My ideal line up would have beau lieu with PK and marky with petry. But I'll expect that move to happen gradually u less Nathan and petry really hit the ground running...

dlbalr Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Where is Semin? Semin didn't practice yesterday; it was called a therapy day. Kassian took his place. (If you had read the pregame notes on the main site, you'd have seen that already. ) I'm interested to see how beau lieu fairs tonight with top pairing minutes with petry. My ideal line up would have beau lieu with PK and marky with petry. But I'll expect that move to happen gradually u less Nathan and petry really hit the ground running... Do keep in mind that the combos/pairings are guesses as stated in the first post since there was no game day skate. There's no guarantee Beaulieu is with Petry.

DON Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Is this likely Tokarski's last game in a Hab jersey, especially if he has tough game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Is Jamie Mclennan commentating? He's the colour guy. On the plus side, the PP has looked really good. There's lots of movement and creativity. I like what I see there. Tokarski isn't helping his cause so far tonight, that's for sure. However, some food for thought, if Condon is deemed the #2, would they still be better off sending him down to play for the first few weeks until he's needed for a start?

habs rule Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Well where does Toker go from here? Condon has outplayed him by a country mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 The Habs did well to come back there but that last goal hurt. Nice shot and it was through a screen but it was short side and Tokarski didn't react well. Well where does Toker go from here? Condon has outplayed him by a country mile. Two options - he makes the team or he hits the waiver wire (I don't think anyone is trading for him). Despite his so-so outing tonight, I wouldn't be shocked if he makes the Habs, at least to start.

dlbalr Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 put him on waivers and send him down. maybe he needs a little time on the bus. I don't think the bus will be a motivational tactic for Tokarski. The only reason I think Tokarski could still make it to start is that I think the Habs don't want Condon having just a low-end #2 workload. He has the equivalent of one AHL season and half an ECHL year for pro experience. That's not much; there's still room for development. I wouldn't be shocked to see a rotation, especially if they keep cap space. Keep Tokarski around but sit him enough that he can take a conditioning stint; during that stint, start Condon for a game. That way, Condon gets to play with more regularity while Tokarski would still get the odd game to see if he can turn it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
