Pre-Game Talk: Back-to-back part 2: Home vs Dallas

That thread and the "What nationality is John Tavares" was hilarious

Also, "This is Out house!"
 
If Montanbo is in net, then I don't have a good feeling. He just doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. And don't f*** with the winning lineup. Keep Pezz and Strubs in. :D
 
It's this time of the year,
When the Habs are trying to win a 4th game in a row.
But Matheson is on the team,
And the Hockey Gods have made it so,
That the Habs wouldn't win 4 in a row,
Until he's off the team.

I would say they had a disappointing game/loss against Chicago and followed it up with a big effort and win, so they can definitely do what you're describing.

For me, conversely, I think the next step in their maturation is actually showing up and putting a dominant performance against the lower rung teams rather than playing down/not being motivated to show what they can do against them.

They got ****** by the zebras that game. The early 5 on 3 that lead to a goal was complete bs. In my mind we didn't lose to chicago, we lost to the refs

Let the negativity go man
Matheson is actually playing great hockey since he's not being overplayed. Having Carrier eat up key defensive situations allows Matheson to shine as the smooth mobile def that he is

While Dallas is on a 6 game winning streak, they're in a real soft part of their schedule.

They've beaten Chicago, Buffalo, Ottawa, NYR, Philadelphia & Utah. All bottom 10 teams except for Utah, who they beat in OT.

While this game is the 2nd half of a back-to-back for Montreal, it's the 1st half of a back-to-back for Dallas. They're in Ottawa on Sunday.

It's their 3rd game in 5 nights with travel (they're on a 5 game road trip), while Montreal just had a 3 day break.

I expect it to be fairly even game.

Montembeault will definitely be in for Montreal. I expect Oettinger to play for Dallas.

Montreal may be able to jump all over them early.
Dallas with a day off in Montreal they may be a tad bit slow out of the gate.
We had one of our best games last season in Dallas until they pulled their goaltender with 5:00 to go and we couldn't touch the puck. Still held on though. We aren't that team.
:D
 
A habs win could put them into a wildcard spot tonight but it would take alot of variables.

Scenario 1: A habs win combined with a bruin regulation loss and cbj loss or otl would do it.

Boston plays Florida and Columbus plays st louis.

Scenario 2: habs win combined with Pittsburgh loss or otl and either a bruins regulation loss or Columbus loss/otl

Scenario 3: A habs otl would work if Pittsburgh, and Columbus both lose in regulation.

Pittsburgh is playing Ottawa tonight.

Too much math and my head hurts.

Matheson is playing better because he doesn’t have to do as much playing with Hutson, not because he’s playing less.

I added another pathway to the wildcard but I guess the general message is that each path requires a specific combination so I think it's improbable that they finish the night sitting in a wc berth.

kinda early for daily scenarios. the real season has just started. conference play is always topsy turvy because teams beat each other nightly and the scenerios change literally with every final that hits the scoreboard

as a NYI fan, the past 2 seasons has seen them limp into the playoffs with help from other teams down the stretch

best thing to do is not leave points on the table and win the games you're supposed to and steal points when you can

i like Montreal. good young players. i feel they need an upgrade at goalie to go with what they have. a seasoned vet with playoff experience who has been there

they also need Laine to play through his maladies perform like he can
