Pre-Game Talk: Game 44: Thurs Jan 16th: Habs @ Stars, 8 PM | TSN2, RDS

Well well well......very nice, very nice. Well done against the Utah Polygamists!

Time to head over to Dallas and face those pesky Stars. The last game vs them was a nail biter in the shootout, but at least we get a loser point. The playoff race is setting up to be an insane sprint to the finish and every game matters.

Hutson is on an absolute tear and we need him to keep rollin'. Too bad he sucks defensively.

Our main squeeze Caufield continues his torrid goal scoring pace. Rollin' towards 40!

Speaking of rollin....do we give our newest big rig of a goalie a chance to knock off Dallas or do we allow Monty a shot at redemption?

The flue bug has seemed to hit the team.....nice to see Patty back and hopefully no one else has their resiliency questioned by yours truly!

Oh.....I almost forgot....it's not just the flu that is knocking out our players......STAY OFF THE ROADS in Mormonville! Get well soon Heine!

Well if we are going to keep it going everyone....we need some other players to get rollin. Particularly Slaf! My boy....my avatar (thanks @Runner77 ) C'mon Slaf....get your ass in gear and match Dach's tournaround!

Let's go get this win boys! Roll back home for Saturday against the figs!

First game back for the Stars from their road trip.

Hopefully we can jump on them early.

For me, the Stars are the best team we've played against this season.

Stars are absolutely stacked. They are my favorite to win the cup coming out of the west.

I think we should start Monty again, to see if he can redeem himself against this team. Give Dobes the Leafs game at home and watch the fig tears fall.

Its going to start sounding like a broken record....but every game is a must win at this point. The east is just too tight right now. Every team chasing the WC has a chance, except Buffalo.

Yeah I'd probably go with Monty on Thursday. Another 3 in 4 this week (f***ing schedule)...then I'd go Dobes Saturday night and Monty back on Sunday against NYR. At least it's back-to-back at home for a change.

i picked dallas to win the cup last year before the playoffs and I think they look better this year

some favorable conditions tho with them finishing a road trip let’s hope we get up early

 

[WeThreeKings]

I wanna see Dobes but they're only giving him the tough ones on the back-to-backs.

yes love to see him
dallas is a tough team to play against, great match up for the habs as a good test

 

[sampollock]

call someone up and send Pezz down
there is better choices at the farm
Tuch needs the call

 

[Hannibal]

I would give Tuch some games while Heineman is out. Physicality and can keep up with Evans.

Did Hintz and someone else get injured ?

With Moose on ir probably, they can keep him in the lineup but yeah call a kid for that 4th line role.

Tuch would be my call as well.

Not mine until they prove they can win the Big Game it's what three seasons now they are among the favorites and end up disappointing their fan base.

You say polygamists like it's a bad thing,,,

 

[sampollock]

bring up Tuch

 

[The Real Timo]

If Habs start their game the way they did vs Utah, the game will be over in 1st period. There won't be coming back. Gotta be sharp and tough all 60 minutes.

I think we will have more energy than we had in that B2B. Will we be as physical which I think surprised Dallas we shall see. They usually beat us down pretty good on home ice.

We did beat them there last season by jumping on them early and getting up three but gave them back two when they pulled their goaltender. I still can't believe we couldn't score with 5 minutes of empty net to shoot at.
