lazy26 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Well, the last time the Habs won, I was stuck at work working a 15-hour shift. I'll be doing the same for this game, so hopefully we'll get the same (or better) results. GO HABS GO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycing Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 The Habs better dominate this game... or some heads are going to roll. Considering the effort in the past games (exception: Ottawa).

lazy26 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Go Habs Go I WANNA SEE EFFORT Yeh, I hope the boys got a little bit of passion and finishing effort in their stockings. Also a few hat-tricks wouldn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider-Man NL Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 http://www.canadiens.com/eng/news/redirect...newsItemID=4618 Game Preview: Canadiens vs. Thrashers ATLANTA – With eight straight losses on the road, the Canadiens are hoping the Christmas break is just what they needed. They kicked off their annual holiday road trip Friday in Washington with a 4-2 loss to the Capitals. Despite tossing 43 shots at goaltender Olaf Kolzig, Claude Julien’s troops suffered just their second loss when leading after 40 minutes. The Thrashers celebrated Christmas a couple of days early, posting a 1-0 win over the New Jersey Devils on Friday. Bob Hartley’s crew picked up points for a seventh consecutive game, following a five-game skid at the beginning of December. Rookie goaltender Michael Garnett, making his 15th straight start, made 29 saves to earn his first NHL career shutout. Tonight’s meeting is the third of four between the Canadiens and Thrashers in 2005-06. Montreal has won the first two, a 2-0 win in Atlanta back on Oct. 12 and a 3-2 final in the first-ever shootout win in franchise history on Nov. 22 at the Bell Centre. Super seven: Michael Ryder and Andrei Markov each picked up a point against the Capitals on Friday, extending their respective point streaks to six games. In that span, Ryder has scored five goals and earned an assist, while Markov has one goal and six helpers. Before his three game suspension, the 27-year-old defenseman had earned at least a point in his three previous games. Eight is enough: The Canadiens will look to avoid equaling their worst road record in more than a decade tonight. In a strike-shortened 1994-95 season, Montreal dropped nine in a row on their opponents’ ice between Feb. 27 and Apr. 1, 1995. Nine is just fine: Since joining the NHL in 1999, the Canadiens have been more than comfortable at Philips Arena. Montreal will be looking for its ninth win in 12 meetings in the Thrashers’ building (8-1-2). In the 11 games so far, the Canadiens have outscored the Thrashers 33-12. Breaking even: With their recent successes, the Thrashers head into tonight’s contest looking to hit the .500 mark for the first time since the Canadiens’ last visit on Oct. 12. Bob Hartley’s squad were 2-2-0 back then and were six games under .500 as recently as Dec. 3, their lowest mark of the season. Andrei Markov has earned at least a point in nine consecutive games, beginning with the Canadiens' 3-2 shootout win over the Thrashers on Nov. 22.

Spider-Man NL Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=148275&hubname= Canadiens in Atlanta to face Thrashers ATLANTA (Ticker) - The Atlanta Thrashers look to notch their fifth win in six games and return to .500 for the first time in more than two months tonight when they host the Montreal Canadiens. Despite playing without suspended All-Star Ilya Kovalchuk, the Thrashers were able to post a 1-0 victory Friday over the New Jersey Devils. Marian Hossa scored the game's only goal and rookie goaltender Michael Garnett made 29 saves en route to his first career shutout. Kovalchuk, who leads the team with 22 goals, was suspended for throwing his stick into the stands in Thursday's shootout loss to Washington but will be back on the ice Monday. Atlanta has picked up at least one point in each of its last seven games (5-0-2) and has a chance to even its record for the first time since it was 2-2 on October 12. The Canadiens opened a five-game road trip Friday with a 4-2 setback to Washington. Steve Begin and Richard Zednik each scored for Montreal, which lost for the third time in four contests despite holding a 43-31 advantage in shots. Cristobal Huet got his third straight start in goal and made 27 saves in place of starter Jose Theodore, who is day-to-day with a bruised knee. Huet will get the nod again tonight. Montreal has defeated Atlanta twice in as many meetings this season and leads the all-time series, 16-4-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
