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.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

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.

Meaning you drink alot ?

 

[Habs13]

Eeewwwww ...another afternoon game. Can't make this one.

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.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

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

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

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

 

[CHfan1]

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

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.

 

[morhilane]

Are we going to witness a 5th loss in a row?

I'm voting yes.

 

[LaineBOOM]

Ivan "Dove" Demidov

Sorry I had to post my masterpiece here too. I wish our Dove was with us already in this game. We would need his smooth movements already.

Watching the full game today as its conveniently early! Lets slaughter those Ducks!!

 

[The Real Timo]

I don’t have any feelings about todays game.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Don't give a shit about this one. 4 PM game, seriously?!

 

[Boyon90]

...as long as it isn't a snoozefest like the game against the Wild, I'll be happy...

caufield with 2 goals to make up for his bs performance last game

 

[Lshap]

I don't get the indifference. The next few games are important statements about how this roster recovers from a bad week.

Guhle may be out awhile, but Heineman will be back soon. If the Habs play like they have through most of the season, they'll be back hovering around a wildcard spot.

 

[habdynasty]

The road warriors.

Hard to get excited about a team who climbed their way to finally reach a wild card spot and had their destiny in their own hands only to piss it away. If the players don't bother to show up, why should we? That said, I'm a sucker for this franchise and will still be here till the disappointing end.

The players did not mail it in those games though..............
In a 2.5 week period they traveled all time zones, the distance was over 24 thousand km's
Perspective.........the Sens will not travel 50K in km's for the entire season...........
Disappointed recently yes............but to say they don't care is not right man.....
