Carr on the fourth line.

Yup, sitting this one out. Hope we win.

Carr was dropped down late in the last game so I'm not that surprised that he'll start there again tonight. I wouldn't mind him on the right side with Desharnais (I think he played the RW on that trio for a couple of games already) but Therrien seems to like Byron in a non-fourth line role.

Hopefully Fleischman awakens

They'll be lucky to get 2 total points let alone 2 wins.

That's a tough 4 game stretch and if my math is correct (I'm sure commandant will correct me) after a 20-5 start, they are 3-12 since?

Hopefully the offense will awake at some point.

Great. He's the new Prust.

In the past 18 games at even strength

Top 5 Goal Scorers

1. Daniel Carr and Paul Byron (4 goals)

3. Pacioretty, Galchenyuk, Weise, Andrighetto, Gallagher (2 goals)

Top 5 Points

1. Alex Galchenyuk and Tomas Plekanec (7 pts)

3. Daniel Carr (6pts)

4. Max Pacioretty and Dale Weise (5pts)

I hope this kind of illuminates why I have such a problem with Carr being demoted to the fourth line. He's in our top three for ESP and right up there with Byron for our best goal scoring during this drought. I don't care if his past few games have been weak defensively. Until we start losing games 6-4, I don't give a rat poop about a players defensive performance.

I don't give a darn if Carr plays on the 4th line or the 1st or they put Fleishman with Patches and Andrighetto. Hell, at this point I wouldn't care if they moved Subban to forward. I don't care what they do or don't do, with one exception. In the immortal words of Al Davis: "Just win, baby!"

Another screwup by Beaulieu leads to a goal.

I believe he hasn't seen the ice since then.

As much as that was a good shot by Garbutt, Condon needed to stop that one. On the other hand, it was almost fitting given the overall flukiness of Montreal's goal.

I know Beaulieu's benching had something to do with this but it's still interesting to see that Emelin led the way in TOI in the 1st (and looked pretty good too).

Ya, Emelin did look good
