Optional skate yesterday morning...

Coming off Tuesday's 2-0 shutout of the Vancouver Canucks and Thursday night's 3-1 victory in Boston, Canadiens coach Jacques Martin offered his troops an optional practice Friday morning in advance of tomorrow's home game against the Carolina Hurricanes.

A dozen players hit the ice in Brossard: goalies Carey Price (who plays tomorrow for his 15th start in 16 games this season) and Alex Auld and, in no particular order, skaters Scott Gomez, Alexandre Picard, Mathieu Darche, Dustin Boyd, Tom Pyatt, Jeff Halpern, Lars Eller, Maxim Lapierre, Travis Moen and Josh Gorges.

The rest of the team participated in dry-land workouts, notably a little indoor soccer.

Price says last night's win came with a style of game similar to how the Canadiens played during the postseason last year.

Tonight's line-up not announced as of yet...though I'm thinking not much changing for last game vs Boston...coming off 2 huge wins.

LETS GO HABS...GO PRICEY BOY!

Wow! Superb job on the thread FH

Renaud Lavoie (RDS) confirms that there is no change in the lineup from the Boston game

Nice GDT. I've been looking forward to this game since before Tuesday's victory against Vancouver. To be honest, and not something I'm at all proud of, I wasn't holding out much hope for the last 2 games, was kind of looking at Carolina as an 'easier' team to take the sting off what didn't happen.

That said, Carolina won't be too happy about getting their arses handed to them and will probably play hungry. We'll need to match their intensity and be ready right at the drop of the puck for Carolina's potentially lethal offense. Still, the Habs haven't allowed more than 3 goals in a game except for Tampa Bay's OT goal back in Game #3.

Looking forward to a good one, either way. Keep the streak going, Team. GO HABS GO!

Carolina is NEVER an easy one for the Habs, no matter where they are in the standings and how they're doing against other teams. It's specially true at the Bell Centre where the Habs have won only 3 times out of the last 11 contests and even then, those wins were in extra time.

Well, I personally like this lineup and how it was used and how they played against Boston so no frowning from me.

[Forever_Habs10]

Alright...I'm gonna see my GDT record (tie) broken after tonight...4-3 would suit me just fine .....LETS GO HABBIES!

[maddienmike]

Loved the GDT FH great

The way we played last game was amazing
Keeping our hopes high our spirits raising
Now we have to do a repeat
Against the Canes can't tolerate defeat
These guys seem to own our ice
So once again it's down to Price
And all the team to play with speed
That's what we really need
We can see the Canes are not slow
But we can beat them, this I know
After we played our last home game
The Canes can see we are not tame
We are so proud of the way you play
So keep it up tonight we pray
These HABS are what we dream they'll be
To win again tonight,speed is the key
Shooting like you did before
with play like that we have to score
AND WIN PLEASE
GO HABS GO

Reminds me of the make-me-laughs.

FH with a Beauty of a GDT! Nice job bud

As for these Canadiens, two wins this week, please don't decieve us! Carolina always has their way with us, no matter how good we're playing or how crap they're playing. Skate hard, player harder, cris passes and score three goals and up. That's the only way we're coming away with a W tonight. Let's end the week off on a high note Canadiens. WIN THE GAME DAMNIT *Shakes Fist*

Missing another game tonight. *sigh*

I wonder which Cane are going to show up tonight, the one's who win 7-1 and 7-2 or the one's who lose 7-4 and 8-1? Lol! These guys are definitely bi-polar.

You can bet that it will be the ones who are a thorn in the side of the Habs

I'm also curious to see who will ref that game. The Canes seem to never get penalties against us.

[hatethoseleafs]

Nice game thread. Well done.

Canes are going down tonight,,, even if they bring Frasier out of retirement to Ref the game.

Oh, it's going to be one of those types of game, eh? Well, hopefully this new-found confidence the Habs are playing with can give them the leg up

actually, fraser was good for the Habs (except maybe against the laffs) .... the Alain Côté goal was NOT good
