Should be a really interesting game tonight. We'll see what this team can do againts a top team like the Sens.

Is the game broadcasted? For once I am at home, I want to see Plekanec and co!!

Game isn't on tv (qc-based tv, anyway)...confusing remarks from Julien on rds.ca:

Letendresse isn't playing tonight and they are considering keeping both tough guys on the roster

Guillaume Latendresse ne jouera pas contre les Sénateurs samedi à Ottawa. Samedi 01 octobre 2005 - (RDS.ca) - L'entraîneur du Canadien Claude Julien a insisté pour dire que la transaction impliquant Marcel Hossa vendredi ne devait pas être interprétée comme un vote de confiance envers le jeune Guillaume Latendresse, qui ne sera pas en uniforme contre les Sénateurs d'Ottawa en soirée.

Julien soutient qu'un changement d'organisation pourrait faire du bien à Hossa. Il a précisé que le Canadien l'avait échangé aux Rangers de New York parce qu'il craignait de le perdre au ballottage en le cédant aux ligues mineures.

Le pilote du Tricolore a déclaré qu'il savait ce que Latendresse pouvait apporter à l'équipe et qu'il n'avait pas besoin de le voir à l'oeuvre samedi contre Ottawa pour l'évaluer. On ignore s'il sera en uniforme dimanche lors du dernier match préparatoire contre les Sénateurs au Centre Bell.

Le Canadien aura un quatrième trio musclé contre les Sénateurs puisque Julien a décidé de réunir Raitis Ivanans, Peter Vandermeer et Steve Bégin. D'ailleurs, l'entraîneur a mentionné qu'il pourrait entreprendre la saison avec deux hommes forts dans sa formation. Julien estime que ça pourrait être nécessaire puisque des équipes comme Ottawa et Toronto représentent des clubs musclés.

By the way, TSN.ca posted this:

Originally posted by: TSN.ca

In Montreal, the Canadiens have their hands full with as many as three spots available at forward. Even after dealing forward Marcel Hossa to the Rangers on Friday, the team still has to choose between prospects Chris Higgins, Alexander Perezhogin, Tomas Plekanec and Guillaume Latendresse.

All indications are that Higgins and Perezhogin are penciled in for the opening night roster, leaving Plekanec and Latendresse battling for the final spot. Latendresse will not be in uniform tonight as the Habs battle the Ottawa Senators in the first game of a home-and-home series.

I don't know about you but I'd rather see Plekanec get a spot over Latendresse. Plekanec has been probably the best player during pre-season.

Northeast Division rivals begin home-and-home series in Ottawa on Saturday night

OTTAWA - The auditions at the Canadiens’ training camp are coming to a close as the preseason schedule wraps up with a home-and-home set against the undefeated Senators, beginning tonight at the Corel Centre in Ottawa.

With Friday’s dealing of Marcel Hossa to the Big Apple, 26 players now remain on a Montreal roster that must be trimmed to 23 before the start of the regular season Wednesday night in Boston. The ongoing Canadiens’ edition of Survivor will see two struggles come down to the wire beginning with the blueline battle between Swiss import Mark Streit and former first-round pick Ron Hainsey. Both have had their ups and downs during the preseason but Hainsey appears to have the edge on paper with a goal and minus-2 rating versus Streit’s one assist and rating of minus-4.

This weekend, all eyes will be on the ongoing fairytale that has been Guillaume Latendresse’s training camp as he continues his quest to become only the third 18-year-old in over 30 years to crack the Canadiens’ lineup since Mario Tremblay (1974) and Petr Svoboda (1984). Despite having played in only four of the Canadiens six preseason games to date, Latendresse co-leads the team with three goals and his six points place him only one point behind team leader and former Senator Radek Bonk, who will be facing his former team for the first time.

The sparks are likely to fly on the power-play this weekend with the Canadiens and Senators being among the teams taking full advantage the league’s crackdown on obstruction. The Canadiens, who enter this weekend’s action with a 4-2 preseason record, continue to boast the NHL’s top power-play at 27.3 per cent while the 6-0 Senators are sixth at 20.4 per cent.

Radek Bonk, the Canadiens' leading scorer in the preseason, will face off against his former teammates, as he makes his first visit to Ottawa since being acquired by Montreal in 2004.

This is going to be one tough one for the boys, especially if Ottawa presents a variation on an 'A' team. A real test of what we've got.

Don't want to sound pessimistic, just realistic. I don't think our guys will be able to match the Sens tonight.

1) the Sens are 6-0,

2) the Sens are ridiculously talented,

3) the Sens have a more established team while ours is in transition (lots of rookies)

4) this is a home game for the Sens.

What may make a positive difference for our guys is the quality of play of Hasek, but this isn't a revelation to any of you.

No Latendresse tonight, and CJ mentioned he might go with 2 goons to start the season. I dont know WTF to think anymore, lol...

Tonights forward lines...

Zednik - Plekanec - Kovalev

Dagenais - Ribeiro - Ryder

Higgins - Bonk - Sundstrom

Ivanans - Begin - Vandermeer

Plekanec must be loving his line tonight... Imagine what he could do.
