Pre-Game Talk: Game 41: Friday, January 10, 7:00 PM | TSN2, RDS Habs @ cAPITALS

[Habs Halifax]

do not speak of that! I am getting roasted in the Laine thread for stating that I am slightly worried about his absence. Hopefully it is nothing beyond a bad case of the flu and he plays Saturday.

I believe both Savard and Laine practiced with the team yesterday? A back/back and I bet you both play Saturday. Avoid the travel and being home for one more day helps I guess.

Habs are winning games so ride it and let them 100% recover.

Dobes getting another nasty road game (Panthers, Avs, and now Caps). One way to see what a guy is made out of is to test them and boy are we ever.

 

[Saundies]

There's a Habs game tonight?

 

[OldCraig71]

Will they be fired up or was it too long between games? If Dobes continues his outstanding play he just might drag them to a win.

Habs have a good record after 3 days break this year.
I think the team being the Capitals will be the bigger hurdle here...

 

[Lshap]

Hate to be 'that guy', but Dobes is due for a weak game. Really hope I'm wrong....

 

[TennisMenace]

They should call up a forward. Pezzetta playing 3 minutes isnt worth it.

And putting him on line 2 for those 4 minutes….how much sense does that make? Why not call up ROY while Laine is out?

 

[TennisMenace]

I figured Coach would put Dobes in the more difficult match up. I guess his thinking is either Dobes is better so I will play him against the better team or Sam is better and I will play him at home against a slightly worse opponent because he wants to make sure we win at least one of these two back to back games.

You sir get an Olli Jokinen!

 

[TennisMenace]

Laine not traveling with the team.

I’m surprised by this because he was skating with them yesterday and I believe I saw him out in the public participating in some kind of event with his gf.

Anderson has his number

Washington coach May not want to match Wilson’s line with Anderson’s line. He probably knows Anderson has his number too.

My dislike for Ovechkin is heightened tonight. I wish that man ill will and hope he ends up lame from a legal clean hit in the defensive zone. f*** Ovechkin and f*** the Washington Capitals.

Have they announced the starter? I'm really hoping Marty goes Monty tonight and Dobes tomorrow

Dobes announced

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Patrick will play when he feels like it.

Hope he scores 24 on us tonight and passes gretzky

True. And if he has a good game he will be even more due come next game.

Dobes doesn't do weak.

 

[Saundies]

Patrick will play when he feels like it.
