Guest Stogey24 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Sounds like Martinsen will sit for Mitchell. I'm not really sure of this fixation on King. Chucky is back at centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks, lineups are updated Davidson is also in for Nesterov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I like the lineup changes. Two centres on the 4th line and a far more dependable 3rd pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky is back at centre No idea, but the fourth line has much less speed without Martinsen. Mitchell is definitely better on defense, though. Julien probably wants to rotate him in to keep these guys fresh. Emelin skated today in Brossard-that's a good update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Love the lineup. Good feeling that fourth line scores today. And Davidson has been itching to get in so I'm hoping he has a great game! GO HABS GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meller93 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Lehkonen-galchenyuk-shaw is a great third line imo. Last game was a top 5 favourite game I can remember watching (born in 93 so I had a rough prelockout experience lol)! Hoping for more of that tonight!

You have my deepest sympathies, you missed all the great teams and only got to see crappy Habs hockey. Let's hope this year it changes.

habscout Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Great pace to this game. I like that the Habs are giving the Rangers very little to no time to do anything with the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovett's Magnatones Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Not much of a jump from the home team in the first ten minutes. They had two decent chances, but the Habs controlled the play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a great tip. He's been decent this game. Montreal managed to kill off those penalties, which is huge in a 0-0 game. I really hope they open the scoring and dictate the pace in the second. It was a nail biting, but promising first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
