The Habs are 7-7 in TVA Sports playoff history. Will the Habs be able to break the tie with a win tonight? Only way to find out is at La Super Soirée TVA Sports!

Fans demands following last game:

- Mitchell in instead of King or Martinsen - check
- Galchenyuk off the 4th line - check
- Galchenyuk at center and Shaw on the wing - check
- Nesterov out and Davidson in - pending check

Yep, it looks like we are getting everything we asked for.

This is the best possible top 12 forward right now. I would like to see Mitchell at Centre through.

-McCarron is not NHL ready
-Flynn is not good at anything
-Martinsen is only good for a few hits per game, if King suck again tonight I would try him(Martinen) back.

and Please Emelin get back ASAP!!!!

Can't believe they might play Nesterov again.......

 

[Darz]

At this point I wonder if the Habs should Nesterov on the wing on the 4th line. would rather see him there than on D.

 

[PriceIsGod]

Please just let it happen

 

[MTL-rules]

Glad to see Mitchell back, he's not only a lot better defensively than Martinsen he's also capable of chipping in some points which are huge from the bottom six in the playoffs.

And a local kid who's ready to leave it all on the ice to win...

[EveryDay]

Well done!!!

 

[Deebs]

 

[EveryDay]

Hopefully our 3rd pairing will be better tonight!

Agree with your points but most importantly for this specific series, Mitchell adds a little speed.

I know what Mitchell is... a 4th liner, but he has contributed to the team most of the season and deserves a chance in the PO. Worst case, he lays an egg and it's back to the stands, but I think he's here to stay now.

Really wish I was back in New York for this. New Yorkers in general really don't care too much about the Rangers but when it comes to bandwagoning and talking smack during the playoffs they're excellent.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Only ask I have now is Davidson with Petry and Benn with Beaulieu.

I don't know what Davidson is like on the right side or Beaulieu for that matter. Both are lefties. I know Benn is also, but we've seen him do real well on the right and with Beaulieu specifically.

But I guess CJ wants the Top-4 to be a more secure one with Weber-Markov-Benn-Petry.

Gotta say, I didn't think I'd miss Emelin as much.

I went to a Rangers-Caps playoff game a few years ago and can confirm. It doesn't seem like a super hostile environment like Philly for example.

 

[The Great Weal]

Ugh, why can't Lekhonen be on the RW?

 

[Andrei79]

Good lines. I like Galchenyuk and Shaw together, they have good chemistry.

 

[Tuggy]

Very happy with the lineup changes. Time to grab the series lead!

 

[MXD]

I'm not sure I like Davidson with Petry, because Petry should be playing a lil' more than 20 minutes and Davidson should remain closer to 16.

But I'm not sure there's any other way, other than playing Beau with Petry and Davidson with Benn.

 

[417]

Ugh, why can't Lekhonen be on the RW?

Cause it would mean Shaw on LW

Coach can't please everyone

 

[The Great Weal]

Cause it would mean Shaw on LW

Coach can't please everyone

Lekhonen at RW>>Shaw at RW

 

[417]

Lekhonen at RW>>Shaw at RW

You're missing the point

 

[Deebs]

Lekhonen at RW>>Shaw at RW

Has Lehky ever played RW on a regular basis? No sense messing with more lineup changes than is actually needed.

 

[The Great Weal]

You're missing the point

Why wouldn't you ice the best team you have?

Pretty sure it was said that Benn would remain with Petry.
