tomh009 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The Bruins are in town, riding an eight-game winning streak but also coming off a hard-fought win against the Penguins. The Habs will need their "A" game for this one. Canadiens' projected line-up: Tatar-Danault-Gallagher Drouin-Domi-Armia Lehkonen-Poehling-Byron Cousins-Thompson-Suzuki Mete-Weber Chiarot-Petry Reilly-Fleury Price Kinkaid Bruins' projected line-up: Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak DeBrusk-Krejci-Heinen Bjork-Coyle-Ritchie Hughes-Kuraly-Wagner Chara-McAvoy Krug-Carlo Grzelcyk-Clifton Halak Rask 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go-Habs-Go I don't understand how Reilly went from being scratched for every game except one from the trade deadline last season, to suddenly having the coach's confidence over Kulak for the past 4 games (including back-to-backs.) Reilly has looked shaky to me. What am I missing about him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulak doesn't allow many shots against -- but the mistakes that he has made have been costly. Colour me perplexed. I do think we'll see a reversion to Kulak sooner or later, unless Reilly really picks up his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 39 minutes ago, Commandant said: I'm with you. Kulak is the better player, I don't get it. Kulak has clearly lost the confidence of his coach. I suspect there's a back story there...maybe he came to camp out of shape? Maybe he complained about Julien? Maybe he has off-ice issues? In any case, it makes the continent-sized hold at LD that much bigger; Kulak was a key patch in the general patch-up job at that position, and with him out, it's just a vacuum, probably one of the worst LD sides in the league.

sbhatt Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hopefully the Pens took a lot out of the Bruins last night...and the law of averages is aganst them after so many wins in a row. Stay out of the box and this game is winnable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's important to jump on them early when the lactic acid is weighing down their legs a lot, and for God's sake...don't dominate for 10-15min and only get one goal! They need to get that second goal during the onslaught that we so often leave on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has great posession stats, but his few mistakes result in goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 It's a good thing Rask didn't have his 'A' game that period. Those last two goals weren't exactly top-notch but hey, no complaints from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Julien was relying heavily on the A-D-D line in the first, they had about six and a half minutes of ice time, more than Weber and Chiarot. The third line had barely half that in ice time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least on the replay, the shot didn't look super dangerous, I thought Price had enough time to move and was not screened, but it found its way to the back of the net anyway.
