Assuming the lineups will be the same.

 

Caufield - Suzuki - Dach
Newhook - Kapanen - Armia
Anderson - Evans - Gallagher
Heineman - Dvorak - Pezzetta

 

Matheson - Mailloux
Hutson - Savard
Struble  - Xhekaj
    
Primeau

 

The game against St. Louis had lots of positives to build off.  Most importantly a couple of stale players getting on the scoresheet.  Lets hope it's up from here.

This will be an interesting game.

 

I hope for continued depth scoring.

 

Continued strong special teams play.

 

Another game for Hutson to build off.

 

A look at Michkov to see what could have been…. 
 

Maybe a winnable game for Primeau.

I would love back to back wins

 

Go Habs Go

So would Philadelphia.

 

Two interesting (I thought) comments on TSN690 post-game show last night.

 

(1) despite the short flight to Philadelphia players, especially those with kids, might get a better night's rest as they get to sleep in later than they might otherwise.

 

(2) both teams won yesterday and the team that "handles success" best MAY have an advantage tonight ... meaning that having broken the bad luck/play one team, or both, might lose a bit of their edge.

Thank god I don’t listen to TSN690 because that sounds like hockey talk I am uninterested in…. i failed to check my man because my kid woke me up early to watch cartoons and I have a hard time handling the massive success of a win after 4 winless games.

 

Habs are just lucky to get a weak team on the back end of back to back games.

 

If they can’t win this it’s time to consider Dobes over Primeau.

Wouldn't that depend on how Primeau plays tonight?  Also, would it really be a good odea to rush Dobes to the NHL after 54 professional games?

It looks like the Flyers are giving this guy his first game. Kind of feels like an opportunity to score 7 or 8 goals tonight.

If there is a goalie call-up this season, I expect it’ll be Hughes, not Dobes. Dobes needs the AHL starts to develop.

7 or 8 goals seems very very optimistic, quite often teams play harder in front of a goalie playing their first game. I would be happy with 4 goals.

Thanks for clarifying guys. I thought I missed something. That was a very very biased call.  I guess the league has it out for Xekaj now.  Gotta win now to spite the asshole.

Clarify asshole is the ref not Xekaj

The entire Xhekaj penalty situation was an absolute farce. 
 

I can’t wait for the official explanation 

 

I think for those looking for Third Man In, that's called on a fight and since there wasn't a fight called, that penalty didn't apply.  Still, a minor to Seeler to even it up would have made sense.

The ref that was beside the fight indicated at the time at least Xhekaj and Couturier were penalized.  He pointed to both and waved his hand towards the box, which is pretty typical during a penalty call.  He then pointed at Seeler and said something to the linesman.  I don't know why the penalties were changed after that.

Great game by the Habs so far. This game could be 6-1, but I'm not complaining!

 

Keep up the hard work and don't let down in the 3rd!
