A 4-1 lead turned into a 5-4 shootout loss. U-N-A-C-C-E-P-T-A-B-L-E. Now, that was only Nashville, and tonight, our opponents are none other than the Detroit Red Wings, who lead the league for goals scored. TV: RADIO: BON MATCH!

Guest CanadianMike Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I have a bad feeling about this one. RedWings are so strong Come on Price looking for a miracle here. Dandy, Streit and Markov will score..why? I dreamt they came visit me at work Go Habs Go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest old-time Habs fan Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Wings we'll need to win tonite, and not our recent Habbies-lite; to beat the best is quite a chore, but if we can, we're up for more! GO HABS GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Habnuck Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 GO HABS GO! I predict a close victory maybe 4-3 Habs. But seriously Striet on the first line? maybe something good will come of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jennifer_rocket Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 3-to-2 Habs! In regulation. 1st period scoring: A. Kovalev (Koivu, Markov) PP T. Holmstrom (Zetterberg, Rafalski) PP 2nd period scoring: M. Streit (Koivu, Higgins) 3rd period scoring: H. Zetterberg (Lidstrom) A. Kostitsyn (Kovalev, Hamrlik) Price makes 36 stops in the victory!

Guest FlHabsFan Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I want to see a goaltender assist tonight! (it can happen. I saw Holmqvist get 1 or 2 last year for tampa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oatmeal777 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I think we'll play really well but lose in a close game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TORHABSFAN Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 3-to-2 Habs! In regulation. 1st period scoring: A. Kovalev (Koivu, Markov) PP T. Holmstrom (Zetterberg, Rafalski) PP 2nd period scoring: M. Streit (Koivu, Higgins) 3rd period scoring: H. Zetterberg (Lidstrom) A. Kostitsyn (Kovalev, Hamrlik) Price makes 36 stops in the victory! I was thinking almost the exact same thing.. except I think Latandresse will keep is roll going with another goal instead of Striet. and I see price making 41 saves. But I still like the 3-2 call and the goals by Kostitsyn and Kovalev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CanadianMike Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I really hope you guys are right...all is see is Zetterberg scoring goals when I close my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michigan Habs Fan Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 As a Habs devotee living in Michigan, tonight's game is THE game for me. I have supported the Red Wings since I moved here in '00, but rediscovered my passion for the Habs when I purchased the Dish Network NHL Center Ice Package last year and had the opportunity to see all of their games. Based on current results, the Habs really need a good performance tonight, which will be difficult because the Red Wings are playing out of their mind. I would be most happy with a close Habs win.

Guest keithman Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Price is up for a HUGE game. this will be a big turning point for us if we can pull it off, and really give the kid a boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dhenry1234 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Habs are tied for sixth right now. This is an important game and losing is not an option. Expect the Habs to play tonight gentlemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sanman Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 This is winnable. Detroit has only 3 games in the month of November where they beat the other teams by more then two goals and only one was away from home. Out of there last 6 on the road they have lost 4 so if there is a weakness it's on the road. We need to capitalize early and never look back. Carbo has to actively manage the game which means at 10:00 minutes in the third if we are up 4-1 he has to keep his pulse on the momentum and do whatever it takes to get the regulation win. Of course the players need to play hard and with pride as well. GO HABS GO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindred Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 We need to get to them early, test old man Hasek early and often. This is one of those games that I am curious to see how we stack up against one of the top teams in the NHL, can we run with them or are we going to give up before the game starts?

Guest KOIVU#11 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Well I guess another loss is in the books, montreal might as well just hand over the two points and save themselves the humilation. I precit around 3-0 4-0 wings. Price will be good but the boys will be brutal..once again. The habs will get like 14 shots the whole game, and hasek will get another easy win against montreal.
