leafsbaby08 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Last year Bonk came back to the Bell Centre to haunt us. We had the lead and he scored very late in the 3rd and then he had the shootout winner. Never trust a man who shaves right before the start of the game and has a full beard by the time the 3rd period starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flunky Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Would love to see Captain Koivu back in the line-up tonight. That "C" seems to be wearing Kovalev down. What the hell's a Pekka Rinne anyways? Sounds like a Finnish STD. What's Bonk spelled backwards? That's right. Crush Trashville! GO HABS GO!

Saku isn't coming back tonight and it is better he is missing now (and not come playoff time). There is no doubt in my mind that Habs WILL win this one. GO HABS GO!!

Dodgie Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Note: Top D Prospect Alexander Sulzer has been called up and will play, just no note as to where. Injuries: * Jason Arnott probable for game vs Montreal * Greg de Vries IR out until mid-January * Scott Nichol IR, out until late January You can add Shea Weber to the injury list. He took a puck off the foot in the game Tuesday night in Toronto. Also Jordin Tootoo was a healthy scratch on Tuesday, he 'should' be back in the line-up tonight.

Rocket-1 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Theres absolutely no chance of Saku being back in the lineup tonight, he didn't even skate with the team yesterday, the pain was back and he went back to see the doctors, it could be another week or two easily!

Jason-Lorette Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Remember...the other team is coming to 'play'...we have to as well. If we play as hard as we have been recently we'll be hard to beat. JasonL PS> GO HABS GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon55 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Kovalev plays great when he's the captain. Everytime Koivu comes back or his return is mentioned, Kovy goes into a funk. If he doesn't get his act together tonight, then I think it's time to move him. Go HABS!!! Kick the Cats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsgal Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Nice GT... Yes, come out with a good jump. The Preds will try to neutralize our speed with some tight checking and clogging up the middle but our boys will be ready for that. GO HABS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

hockeychick018 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Gregory Stewart has been called up, I wonder if he will play tonight and if so who he will replace... http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/267083.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon55 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Kovalev did the same thing last year. He wants to be the Captain. I'm sure he didn't have the flu then. He needs to shoot more and be smarter with the puck. That was a crap penalty he took in Boston and it was selfish. He's trying to do it all himself and giving up the puck too often at our blue line.
