Pre-Game Talk: Montreal vs. Anaheim: Sunday @ 4:00PM EST (TSN2 / RDS)

[Lafleurs Guy]

I’ll be in the car coming home from Montreal. SXM ftw.

All the garbage - Ottawa, Detroit, Islanders are playing way over their heads, As someone said Habs need to be 3-0 or 0-3 on this trip.

Slow & steady, man. If we can play good hockey consistently – not necessarily red-hot hockey – Habs can creep back into a playoff spot as other teams above of us fade.

Supposedly.............the number pundits, have the Habs with the 3rd easiest schedule finishing up the season.....as compared to the other teams they are fighting for a spot with.
2 weeks can make a huge differentce.
This 4 game slide has had them playing brutal, and it seems on fumes.
I think they can crawl back in this thing soon, and then get the 10-12 days off.
The break will help the habs, and hurt a team like the Sens who are hot right now.
I still think we play meaningful hockey in March/April.........yes I am a glass half full guy.

I think Hughes will need to make a couple of depth moves if the goal is to push for a playoff spot. The loss of Guhle rearranges the D pairings and the loss of Heineman has hurt depth scoring. We are going to need some help to get there.

7-3 Anaheim

I presume Heineman should be back after the break but another forward with some finish to make up a 3rd line with Heineman and Evans is needed and of course a d to make up for the loss of Guhle

Not having a Saturday game is confusing.

Same for me. I got so confused, I tryed to cook my eggs in the fridge and freeze my ice on the stove.

 

[Agalloch]

To keep playoffs aspirations, we need a really good 3 games road trip. 0-3 or 1-2 and it's most likely impossible to reach playoffs.

 

[Theodore450]

If we lose this one. Can we open the tank thread again?

 

[Nicko999]

Now that NFL is pretty much over, we will see a lot of Sunday games.

 

[Tyson]

7-3 Anaheim

Wouldn't that be something to score 3 goals after being shut out? Folks look at Anaheim's record and think this is a cake walk are in for a rude surprise

After their annual Super Bowl Sunday game they only play on two more Sundays. They play on every Saturday there is NHL games going forward except one.
