[Dr Gonzo]

You guys have a confirmed starter yet?

Budaj.

 

[Tyson]

Just win damn it!
Galchenyuk scores in this game

Florida is playing way better under their new coach. They are a BIG team.

Hopefully, half of the arena will be filled by Habs fans.

Habs gonna need to be way better than yesterday night to win it. TB had 4 regular d-men out + Stamkos.

 

[Runner77]

Bouillon back in there for today's game.

Dave Stubbs ‏@Dave_Stubbs 1h No other changes in #Habs lineup from #TBLightning game for today's tilt vs #FlaPanthers

Dave Stubbs ‏@Dave_Stubbs 1h Budaj in goal for #Habs at 5 pm ET vs #FlaPanthers

Are we going to see Bouillon on the 2nd wave of the PP again? Why don't we use a forward at the point, if there is no confidence in any of our other Ds to fill the role?

 

[Le Tricolore]

With the week off the team had and with Price's great game last night, I would have preferred he played tonight, but Budaj will still give the team a good shot at winning.

Of course... Bouillon will get his PP time.

I'll be at the game, along with a few thousand vacationing Habs fans. This is the game Panthers fans dread, when the invading horde from the north take over their arena. The Panthers announcer shouts, "Hey Panther fans, MAKE SOME NOISE!!", and the response is a thundering, "Go Habs Go!!" It's really ridiculous...

Wow do you have that backwards.

We welcome you guys. Its a fun atmosphere, you eat our food, buy our beer, pay for our payroll.

all we ask is shake the hand of the fan sitting next to you, and make friends.

I look forward to it every year.

Welcome.

I might be wrong but didnt Brière used to play point on the powerplay with Philadelphia?

I really dont like him but he'd be more effective on the PP than on 5v5

When was the last game Budaj played (started). It seems like a very, very long time.

 

[HABSonaroll]

Like to see the HABS light it up today - GO HABS GO

 

[Habsawce]

Of course... Bouillon will get his PP time.

#Therrienslogic

Ain't no party like a "Bouillon has 1 PPP in the past 75 years of playing hockey" party!

 

[Tyson]

Never gets old

 

[habitue*]

Of course... Bouillon will get his PP time.

#Therrienslogic

You should be happy. He is the d-man with the LEAST PK minutes on average per game.

 

[Habssince89]

of course I have to work

Predictions:
Budaj will be great
Markov will score
Bourque will score
Galchenyuk will get 2 points or more

 

[BLONG7]

Score some goals guys...3-4 would be perfect...

 

[Krnage]

who's starting goalie for Florida ?

 

[ZARTONK]

Never gets old

Until she gets old lol

 

[HatTricK09]

who's starting goalie for Florida ?

RDS just said Clemmensen is starting

 

[Hagged]

Wow Barkov has more points than Huberdeau, that's interesting. Sophomore slump?

Barkov's line is Boyes-Barkov-Bergenheim. If Huberdeau was playing with Barkov, both of them propably would have more points, but the line would have worse +/- as the Barkov line is used in a shut down role against the opposing 1st lines.

Bjugstad is starting to show up as a first line center with his improving offense though, so Huberdeau should start getting more and more points as the season goes on.

Barkov has 7 points in his last 8 games, Bergenheim has gone over PPG in that span. That Barkov line is slowly starting to outproduce it's opponents but they are still a bit under 0 in +/- because of the slow start to the season.

I recommend to watch Dylan Olsen, Barkov and Bjugstad. They have been showing great promise in the last ten games.

I haven't been able to watch many Habs games this season but are Gallagher, Galchenyuk and Subban the ones to follow or are there some new names showing promise?

 

[Hagged]

who's starting goalie for Florida ?

Seems like it's going to be Clemmensen again:

Harvey Fialkov ‏@hfialkov 15 s

Upshall, Mottau and Gomez out.; Parros, Murray and Bournival out for Habs. Clem vs. Budaj in net #flapanthers

 

[Jigger77]

Just win damn it!
Galchenyuk scores in this game

He's had a rough time lately. Hopefully you're right nothing like scoring to get that confidence back.

 

[Tyson]

I hate listening to the Florida homer broadcasters.

 

[ZARTONK]

Oh ****, Plekanec's in the Canadiens' all time top 30 in terms of points. Crazy.

 

[Odelein24]

What is it going to take for MT to
put Emelin on the PP??? He's signed and paid like a top 4 D but Bouillon still gets PP time over him??

Boullion didn't have a bad game yesterday. That being said, try someone else on the PP please.
