Hoping for a win and a Timo Meier hat trick.

We're approaching the 20 year anniversary of when we last won in SJ though. Might as well celebrate it by losing in embarrassing fashion.

MB, building his team, and just hoping for a ...................chance!!

lol at that pic, he could have been in that movie!! Therrien would have been able to play his buddy.

 

[Tyson]

A couple of good days of practice, a focused Carey Price...could very well win.

I get the feeling if Armia is out that Poehling will be recalled.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Habs have better 20 man roster than the Sharks IMO. They lost to the Sabres on Saturday and have the 2nd game against them tonight. After tonight, they have a back to back against the Habs/Leafs. Do we get Jones or Dell?

5 road games for them in 8 nights starting tonight. Habs should be ready for them with the 3 game break.

 

[Milhouse40]

Habs after 9 games:

- 27.3% on the PP, good for 7th place in the NHL
- 71% on the PK, 27th in the NHL

- 3.67 goals scored per game, 21 goals at 5-on-5, both good for 4th place in the NHL
- 33.7 shots on net per game, 7th place tied with Toronto and Chicago

- Cale Fleury is the only Habs without a point so far
- Jordan Weal (-4), Cale Fleury (-2), Lehkonen (-1) are the only Habs in the minus

- Habs scored 9 goals on the PP
- Petry has been on the ice for 8 of them, Domi has been on the ice for 7 and both Suzuki and Tatar for 6.

- Victor Mete has 15 blocked shots, leading the team by 2
- Shea Weber has 11 giveaways, worst on the team

- Max Domi has 10 takeaways, leading the team by 4
- Gallagher is leading the team with 33 shots, 13th in the NHL
- Byron has 4 shots on goals, in the regulars no one has less than 8 shots

- Thompson is leading the team with 54.9% on faceoffs followed by Domi at 50%
- Tatar has 6 minor penalties….2 more than anybody else on the Habs, tied for 3rd in the NHL

 

[Tuggy]

This schedule sucks!

Something about playing the Sharks...uneasy feeling regardless of whether they are good or bad.

Punch away!

Should have saved this for the GDT

What do you mean? The Sharks are a bottom team in the west. The pressure is on them.

You mean ... like this?

I have better ones, lol. But, that's just in case. I'm not assuming that I'm doing it. I'm only a fireman.

 

[BLONG7]

LOL...........perfect!!

 

[26Mats]

Why not take Lehkonen off the Domi line instead of Byron??

Byron Domi Suzuki

Or even better: Poehling Domi Suzuki

Or at least: Drouin Kk Suzuki

Or we will be very very very Dopey.

And we really need a win because we are falling off last year's pace.

What about:
Tatar-Danault-Suzuki
Byron-Domi-Gally
Drouin-KK-Lehky
Cousins-Thompson-Weal

Byron and Cousins could swap if Byron doesn't fio. Armia could come back and bump Lehky down. You pretty much roll the 3 lines as they're all balanced.

I'd like to see Domi with Gally for a super line. Byron is good at playing with two great offensive players. He was really productive with Galchenyuk and Radulov.

 

[TouzY]

Is it me, or i feel like we are missing a Left Winger ?

Tatar-Danault-Gally
Byron/Leky-Domi-Suzuki
Drouin-KK-Armia
Cousins-Thompson-Weal

Meh players : Byron and Leky

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Lehkonen still being with Domi at this point is just absurd. I like him on an energy/defensive line as much as the next guy but he can't be taking minutes on a line that's expected to be producing. Byron can at least score a goal here and there and should be on Domi's left.

 

[DangerDave]

These are the lines being run at practice according to the Habs website. Seems decent.

Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Domi - Suzuki
Drouin - Kotkaniemi - Cousins
Byron - Thompson - Weal

Mete- Weber
Kulak - Petry
Chiarot - Fleury
Reilly - Folin

Price
Kinkaid
