CRB's game thread

Coollllllll...enjoy the game friend...Wave/hold up a sign... so we'll see ya.

[leafs_rock_go_mccabe]

Come on Team! 6 for 6 on the upcoming home-stand. Just wait and see!

Coollllllll...enjoy the game friend...Wave/hold up a sign... so we'll see ya.

there's more chance to see me when i go to NY and NJ as I will be behind the bench

my seats for tomorrow (best spot in the house for a Markov fan **sigh** oh well... )

[Flying_Lion]

Nice work, CRB. And extra Kudos for getting it up a night early. I feel positively Habs-starved. Cannot wait for the game. Stuff on the go right up 'til puck drop to keep my mind occupied.

Big game. I know it's early but there's a 3-game skid at any point in the season isn't always easy to shake off and 4 straight is gross. Need to start off the Homestand - and Home opener - with some positive home vibes. GO HABS GO!

[GreekHockeyCoach]

Awesome thread. Wow.

[Marathon.Man]

GREAT first post!

GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tamara84]

Nice thread. Looking for a win tommorow. Have to come out strong.

[Bear-Cove-Hab]

...........so, is carbo back coaching? Cause thats the only reason I can see why Moen would be on the 1st line. Pacs was showing improvment, slow as it may have been. If not, try Dags on the top 2 lines. Moen is not a 1st liner. 'sigh'.

[habs-24]

Its a special night beginning our 13th season at the bell centre with this whole new team, but i cant get past the fact that number 11 wont be there tommorownight

[haberry]

Come on Habs!!! Nice game thread. I think it is weird that Moen is on the first line too!! I guess its some size out there on the ice.

Methinks I'm ready gawd! I'm so excited I cant go to sleep right now

[leafsbaby08]

games against the Avs always makes me miss the atmosphere of the old Habs/Nordiques games.

[NickThaHitman42]

Wait, Moen is playing with Gomez and Gionta instead of Cammy?

Anyway, i hope this game comes on TSN or CBC here in NL tonight. before the big game i suit up as the captain of my team in high school floor hockey, team white haha,

anywho go habs go!

[koreysecord1992]

Well, hopefully the boys will impress in the home opener. Cammalleri netting one (or two!) in the home opener would be a nice welcome back, but I won't be greedy. Strong play in all zones and a solid performance from Price is what I'll settle for. The Avs are hot and have been ripping up the PP, so hopefully we don't fall into penalty trouble and cool down Anderson and co.

[ewraras]

Great GDT - love the player intros! Whew, seems like it took this day forever to arrive - I'm going to go out on a limb and predict a 4-1 win for our Habs in their home opener!

[Skye770]

GO HABS GO

[roy_133]

Finally, the season hasn't truly started till I've seen 1 game in the Bell.

[CanadianMike]

great GDT!!

All I want is a Habs win and Cammy to score his 1st!!!! Not asking for too much.

The Avs scare me. Anderson is amazing!!! I have been saying this for the last couple of seasons when I started watching lots of Panthers games.

GO HABS GOOOOOO

we can't lose a 4th in a row...we can't boys!!!

[leafs_rock_go_mccabe]

great GDT!!

All I want is a Habs win and Cammy to score his 1st!!!! Not asking for too much.

Yep, great GDT!

What I want:

• Multi-point game for Andrei K.
• Price to allow fewer than 3 goals.
• Cammalleri to get his first goal.
• Gionta to continue to impress.
• The defense to look better.

[babinator77]

sick thread crb!!! awesome!!

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

can't wait!! this day is going to take forever to get through.

Yep, great GDT!

What I want:

• Multi-point game for Andrei K.
• Price to allow fewer than 3 goals.
• Cammalleri to get his first goal.
• Gionta to continue to impress.

bit of an understatement, no?

[leafs_rock_go_mccabe]

bit of an understatement, no?

Not really!

Okay, okay, okay... For the defense to look good.

[babinator77]
