Might be the biggest game of the year so far. Hopefully Sens drink too much green beer the night before!

This is a most win game for the Habs.Well all remaining games are must win, but this one is a must must win because it's the Sens.
4 points game if we get knock back, it's a slap.
The outcome of the Rags second back to back tonight will dictate how big of a slap.

I don’t think it’s a must-win. It’s a big game for sure, but it’s not the Sens we are trying to catch. 6 points (really 7 because of regulation wins difference), is a pretty big gap with only 16 games to go. In reality we are fighting for that last WC spot with 4 teams.
If Edmonton can beat the Rangers today that will be huge. Habs just need to keep winning their games. Ottawa will be formidable test.
If the sens and Habs were losing more recently this would be a must win for both.
It's more of a "must" win for the Habs than Sens
If this game goes to OT everyone else is pissed and the sens and Habs are fine with it.
That said the Habs may lose here and in a month be looking at it as if they had won this game they'd be in the playoffs and maybe the sens are out.
Should be 1 hell of a game against the 2 hottest teams. I think.
If the Habs win it's better for them to win in regulation, as they need more of those for the tie breaker.

As a lifelong Gatineau resident, I have always disliked the Sens. Would feel good to win this one.
Every game from now on is a must win if we want WC2 spot.
It's a must win because Habs want to keep up to the Rangers and separate further from the Wings and Jackets for WC2.
And it's a must win because beating the professional diving teams called the Sens is always fun.
Obviously, the most important game to date. Both teams have been playing playoff “like” hockey. The Sens have a 6 point advantage and a superior 2nd line so we need another effort like we just had Vs the panthers. Having last change will help. Roy looks good along the boards & has offensive flair but his skating is noticeably slow at this level. MSL won’t change his lineup so……Go Habs Go.
It's must win for us, but not as much for the Sens other than as a rival match. They've distanced themselves well enough from WC2.
We need these 2 points. It would be better if we won in regulation but not essential. Currently, we're battling NYR for WC2 and we're never going to catch them in RWs, so we need to out point them.
Go Habs Go!!

Habs - Sens has been a bigger rivalry than Habs - Bruins or Habs - Leafs in recent years.
I expect a playoff like type of game with lots of physicality , drive and emotions. There is a lot at stake. This shall be good

Can’t lie, I’m looking forward to Savard-Xhekaj D pairing Vs Sens 1st line. It’s almost comical how Stutzle looks to the refs for a red card every time he plays us & the Tkachuk brothers both play tuff-guy Vs every other team in the league except us or should I say “The Sheriff”. I’m stoked for this one!!!!

Roy looks good along the boards?? Sorry......not seeing that at all.
I would much rather the intensity of Owen Beck, than Roy in the lineup.
Big game tuesday night that's for sure. We need the points much more than they do.......I keep thinking back to the terrible slide before the break, the 1-7-1 slide If, we had even gotten 3 ins during that slide, we would be in the last WC spot, and just 2 behind the Turds.
I was ready for the tank earlier this season but now I'm ready to cheer for a drive at the playoffs. It'd be nice to watch Habs hockey later into the year again.
Actually it is the biggest game in the Hughes/Gorton/St Louis era to date.
So we have to win 16 games in a row to make the playoffs?
I think you need to redefine what “must-win” means
Habs have outscored Ottawa 9-3 this season and I'm sure the sens will be ready. They usually seem to get up for these games regardless.
Montreal should be up for it too, obviously.
Schedule wise, both teams will be coming off a 2 day rest.

Win these 2 games and the Habs are only 2pts behind. WC2 is not the only spot left.
I want to drag back the Sens into the mix. The 2 games against them are the most important of the remaining 16.
They still have 3 games against CLB which sucks for us. If CLB win those 3 and we lost these 2 games against the Sens it’s an extra 6pts we need to make up from neutral teams. But if we won those 2 games, the sens are fighting for a spot again with us. We want as many playoffs spot to remain open until we can lock one.
Anyway, get 2 points, don’t worry about the math too much. Just win, f*** the Ottawa Divers.
Also, not playing the Caps round1 would be a bonus

I hate the sens. f*** them! They are horrible horrible franchise. Ugliest in the entire NHL. With the most divers and dirtbags.
Senators are probably getting the penalty calls because Andlaauer won't put up with being screwed over. Unlike gutless pukes Geoff Molson and Edward Rogers.
