Wow, quite the read on Montreal's board.

They are almost as insecure as Toronto fans. Actually both Toronto and Montreal fan bases need to grow up.

Yes there is a secret plan to only play goons against them. Has nothing to do with giving the bubble players a good look.

I guess the 4th liners aren't supposed to play in the exhibition games according to Montreal fans.

You would think a little common sense would apply but we are talking Habs fans...

That's what happens when they've had one tough player in the last 20 years.

They're a bit unhinged when it comes to run of the mill physical play.

No one cares about the Habs anymore.

They're just desperate for recognition but clearly, and our coach agrees, that we're better off just dressing our spare parts to fight over one of the few remaining spots in the line-up.

There's no point putting our good players in against a team destined for the bottom of the standings. There's nothing to be gained in playing a bunch of scrubs.

This says all you need to know about the Habs this year:
TOR: +200 to win Atlantic
BOS: +350 to win Atlantic
FLA: +400 to win Atlantic
TBL: +600 to win Atlantic
BUF: +900 to win Atlantic
OTT: +1100 to win Atlantic
DET: +2500 to win Atlantic
MTL: +20000 to win Atlantic
That's interesting in general and with respect to Montreal. The other thing is the Boston is still relatively high in comparison to teams like Buffalo & Ottawa. Vegas and bookmakers make a living off this kind of thing so there's a tendency to be right.

Soks with Greig could be interesting.

Well, Boston just came off a 135 point season.

Even losing the guys they did, until they drop 40 points or something in the standings, it's hard to believe.

Looks like we’re playing a potential set line in each game so far.

If Pinto continues to sit, Kub, Bailey, Joseph could be the third line with Bailey holding the spot until Pinto signs.

That’s assuming that Grieg starts in the A for seasoning.

There's not a chance Bailey plays centre for us. Well...there shouldn't be a chance at least.

I took a look at it; you would think Ottawa is dressing Pepe Silvia for the game with the amount of misplaced delusion and conspiracy going on there.
Only Habs are allowed to dress AHL-tier goons in meaningless games. You're not allowed because...you're just not allowed OK!

I wasn’t looking forward to this game much, but now I’m actually thinking it will be fun to keep an eye on how the top two lines do together in Jon-sheltered minutes, and to watch Brann anchor the top D line

It has nothing to do with goons.

It's every single forward competing for a bottom six role and every single defenceman competing for a bottom pairing role.

(I mean, aside from Jarventie, but he's going to the AHL as a top six guy anyway)

It's so blazingly obvious.
