huzer Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 ARGH! I just now realized that while the Habs are playing on Thursday, I'll be on the road. I'm road trippin' with a bunch of friends back to Wisconsin for a wedding. Ugh. Quote

I cannot wait for this game...Seems like we have been waiting forever..I hate offseason..Not much too look forward to on the season in terms of wins, but Ive I have been waiting to watch the development of our youth and team with much anticipation...Here's to a succesful season boys, and let's try and be patient, and take the good things out of it.

Bonavistaman11 Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 The wait will soon be over, but theres some big decisions still to be made..Who will be sent down and who will stay? Hopefully a big win to start the season will come Thursday night. :ghg: Quote
ch_nl Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Says we're about to lose. 4-2. Montreal goals by Bulis and Markov. Quote
Bonavistaman11 Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Bad prediction..... a true habs fan never predicts against his team, no matter how bad they are. 3-1 Habs. Goals:Zednik, Perreault, and Rivet Assists: Breezer 2, Ribeiro 1, Hossa 1, Bulis 1, Sundstrom 1. Habs all the way! :ghg: Quote
ch_nl Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 I said It was my crystall ball. You would be both scared and surprised about how many times it's been right... I sure hope for Montreal to win but let's face it. We meeting one of the leauges most talanted team. On their ice. In the season opener. Whithout Saku Koivu. And many "experts" rank our team pretty low. I think that the most important thing in this game is for the vets to take their responsibillity and show our prospects the way. And that combined with some youth enthusiasm can take us to the playoffs. But we're in for a tough season. Quote
TheAussiePosse Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 3-1 Loss Theo makes 28+ saves. Goals: MTL: 1 - Souray from Ribeiro and Hossa OTT: 1 - Hossa from Alfredsson 2 - Smolinski from Bonk and Schastlivy 3 - White from Redden Quote
All-Star Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 I predict a 3-2 win in overtime for Mtl. The scoring will be: First Period: Ott - White (Alfredson, Spezza) Mtl - Dwyer (Ryder, Quintal) Ryder's shot will hit him in the leg... Second Period: Ott - Hossa (unassisted) Third Period: Mtl - Brisebois (Zednik, Ribeiro) Overtime: Mtl - Hossa (Souray) Three Stars: 1 - Theodore 2 - Marcel Hossa 3 - Marian Hossa All-Star Quote
Habsaku Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 To lose or not to lose.... Me wants to see youth and Ovechkin, so heres my prediction: 3-1 Senators Goals:` Spezza Hossa(2) (PP) Spezza 3 points Montreal: Hossa Shots: Ottawa: 68 Montreal: 6 Quote
Hab_Boy Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Habs 2 - Sens 1 SOG 20 - 19 Sens Goals Audette and Brisebois for the Habs Alfredson for the Sens Theo shines, Hainsey the goat on the only Sens goal, late in the 3rd Quote
TheAussiePosse Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Originally posted by All-StarI predict a 3-2 win in overtime for Mtl. All-Star As much as I would love that to happen, I think we all know what happens when the Habs have a lead going into the 3rd period, or are tied going into overtime. Tied for worst in the league last year in OTLs (9), and I do'nt really think it'll change too much. Hate to burst your bubble, but this version of the Habs doesn't have enough heart or gamebreaker-type players (aka Kastysitsin) to with in OT, let alone enough smart and safe players (Juneau is no longer safe) to hold a lead.

Bonavistaman11 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 juneau should no longer be with the habs. If the habs could dump juneau, dackell and Audette they would save some much needed cash!..By spending it on those guys its just a waste. Come on Gainey, give us some hope! :hlogo: :ghg: Quote
Riot55 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Hello all, new here. Great looking site by the way. Well i`d like a win but i`ll be happy with a tie. 2-2 Quote

Even if the odds are against it happening, stranger things have happened in the past... Any shot on net is a potential goal ...[Edited on 2003/10/9 by All-Star] Quote

Muller 11 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Keep it close and anything can happen. The pressure is on the Sens to perform well at home. Especially against a so-called weak team like our Habs. We will catch them off guard. 3-1,with an empty-netter.:hlogo: Quote
puck7x Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 Just a recap of the lines we already know , plus official d-pairing for the habs tonight.... Hossa - Ribeiro - Zednik Bulis - Perreault - Audette Sundstrom - Juneau - Dackell Dwyer - Ward - Ryder Markov - Rivet Souray - Quintal Hainsey - Brisebois Theodore Garon Hainsey paired with brisebois? Thats not smart imo... While Brisebois has been playing great so far in the pre-season pairing him with a guy like Hainsey who makes ALOT of rookie mistakes cant be good news for Brisebois. :ghg: Quote
Habs77 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Originally posted by puck7xMarkov - Rivet Souray - Quintal Hainsey - Brisebois Hainsey paired with brisebois? Thats not smart imo... While Brisebois has been playing great so far in the pre-season pairing him with a guy like Hainsey who makes ALOT of rookie mistakes cant be good news for Brisebois. On the other hand, I like the idea of seeing Brisebois on the THIRD pair... hopefully well hidden from Ottawa's top lines. But I have the sinking feeling he'll still be used on the PK... I hope I'm wrong. Our top 2 pairings I'm happy with. And the #1 PP unit will be Ryder-Perreault-Audette... anyone have a problem with that? Ribeiro and Zednik seem like #1 PP material to me... considering our present lineup. Quote
Dalhabs Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Habs will totally take sens by suprise, 4 goals in period 1 total score: Habs - 6 Sens - 2 GO HABS GO!!! Quote
