DON Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hope the old Russian guy sits. They have gave him a game to two off before, but a full week or so not getting beat up wouldn't hurt him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is they're already into emergency recall status with Lernout so they're only carrying six healthy options. If they're planning to sit/invent an injury for Markov, a more logical time for him to sit would be Saturday when they can pull another player up. (A random side note - one more injury (real or invented) would allow the Habs to recall Sergachev if they so desired.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 So Tampa is playing for desperate hockey to make the playoffs, and Price wants to play tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyrealist Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 How is King still in the lineup night after night? I've yet to be impressed one bit, he should at least pummel anyone who comes near our MVP CP31 to serve some purpose. As for Marky sitting, I see the point but isn't this why he had an extended break earlier this season? So he could make this stretch run, since we don't need the points I see value on sitting him but also see the benefit of keeping him in game shape. Tough call and probably be a no brainer if d corps wasn't already depleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'd prefer the Leafs get in from a potential match up standpoint, I'd much rather count his money and not have to listen to him brag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 We need to lose this one to #### over the leafs? Call up Fucale, put him in net. Play Dwight King 25 minutes. Put Therrien back behind the bench for one night. Whatever it takes man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 How will Lernout do? Hope he plays a ton and helps allow #79 to play under 20minutes. http://www.hockeyinsideout.com/news/game-day-carey-price-will-be-in-goal-for-canadiens-vs-lightning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care if loafs make the playoffs. Care about a hungry team crashing the net and desperate to make the playoffs. I would prefer he rest both games. They are nothing games.

Lovett's Magnatones Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Two teams in different places-one with the season on the line, another looking to the next. I'm not surprised at the first. Tampa always plays the Habs well. In the old days, someone would try to get in a fight to get the team riled up. We'll see what happens next period.
