Guest habfanforlife_85 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 The habs will hit the ice tonight for the fifth time in six days as they take on the sens in what should be a very good game. Hopefully Coach Carbonneau will play more regulars tonight, to try and get the right line combos going for the start of the regular season on October 3rd vs. the Hurricanes. TONIGHTS GAME: Starting Goalie: Cristobal Huet Projected Lines: A.Kostitsyn - M.Grabovski - A.Kovalev C.Higgins - B.Smolinski - M.D'Agostini J.Lahti - K.Chiphura - T.Beauregard E. Manlow - C. Locke - J.Ferland A. Markov - M. Komisarek P. Valentenko - M. Streit J. Gorges - M. Degon These lines have not been confirmed and will most likely change over the course of the day as Carbonneau finalizes the starting squad for tonight. The only 100% confirmation is that Huet will be playing the full 60 minutes and that Higgins will play his first game of the preseason tonight. PREDICTION: 3-1 HABS (Grabovski (2), Beauregard) GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest habfanforlife_85 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 The Latest on the Senators as per TSN: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=10460&hubname= The following players were not on the ice during Friday's practice: Mike Fisher - groin, Ray Emery - wrist, Niko Dimitrakos - hip, Matt Carkner - broken hand, Jason Spezza - ankle and Josh Hennessey - shoulder. The Sens are very high on their two Russian prospects Alexander Nikulin and Ilja Zubov. Head coach John Paddock says he is excited at the potential of those two. With limited roster spots, it is expected the pair will start with the Sens' American League affiliate in Binghamton. Spezza took a shot in the ankle a few days ago and said it was bothering him a little so he decided not to skate today. He will be fine to play Saturday. Hennessey is likely out a week with a possible separted shoulder. Martin Gerber will play two periods on Saturday and Jeff Glass will play the third. Forwards Foligno - Zubov - Heatley Donovan - Spezza - Eaves Vermette - Hamel - Neil Schubert - Bass - McGrattan Defence Redden - Meszaros Volchenkov - Lee Kinch - Corvo Goaltender Gerber - 2 periods Glass - 1 period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyv Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Ottawa is icing a very respectable team, the Habs will have to play some good hockey today or they will get chewed up out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest s.k 11 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 According to rds HiggiNs will be playing on line with Koivu and KOVALEV and the kostitsyn brothers will be on a line with Grabovski. http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/237176.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-1 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Is RDS showing this one? Nope. But Higgins got the green light from the doctors to play tonight! Oh, and according to RDS.ca, we're going to see the top two lines as: Higgins-Koivu-Kovalev Kostitsyn-Grabovski-Kostitsyn Wow, those are interesting lines!

Oh, and according to RDS.ca, we're going to see the top two lines as: Higgins-Koivu-Kovalev Kostitsyn-Grabovski-Kostitsyn Wow, those are interesting lines! I think EVERYONE wants to see Kostitsyn - Grabovsky - Kostitsyn on a line together. The offensive potential is pretty good. And like JL said, Ottawa's icing a very respectable team. I hope we don't get out played and out scored. We're needing a good game from Koivu. He's yet to show much this camp. Does anyone know if D'Agostini is playing again tonight? Also, did O'Byrne have a fight last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JL Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Also, did O'Byrne have a fight last night? No he didn't (that I know off). Gordie Dwyer tried to lure him into a fight after Dwyer was called for a penalty but O'Byrne kept his cool and the Habs' got the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JL Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 OH baby!! Those look dangerous.. The first line does. The second lacks experience... all flash is what I predict. But it should be fun to watch them try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Miltie01 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I like the way Kovalev and Kostitsyn have played together so far. I would try and have them together myself. Higgins I think will help Saku out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
