kinot-1 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 AT Game #40,,,Montreal at Buffalo, 7:30 PM, CBC, RDS, MSG B Since losing 6-1 on Feb. 2 in the first matchup, Buffalo has taken three straight meetings by one goal. The Sabres won the latest one 2-1 on the road March 23 behind a stellar effort from Ryan Miller, who made 38 saves and stopped 15 of 16 shots in the third period.Coming off Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to the Washington Capitals at the Bell Centre, Canadiens coach Michel Therrien shuffled his lines at practice Wednesday morning in Brossard and announced that Peter Budaj will start in goal against the Sabres Thursday night in Buffalo (7:30 p.m., CBC, RDS, TSN Radio 690).In eight games this season, the 30-year-old Budaj has a 6-1-1 record with a 2.17 goals-against average and .917 save percentage with one shutout.Rene Bourque, who started Tuesday’s game on the fourth line, was bumped up to join Tomas Plekanec and Brian Gionta at practice Wednesday, while Michael Ryder was with Lars Eller and Alex Galchenyuk. The David Desharnais-Max Pacioretty-Brendan Gallagher line was kept intact, while Brandon Prust dropped down to the fourth line with Travis Moen and Jeff Halpern.

BeanCountingHab Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Theoretically, this should be the best/deepest group of forwards we've iced all year. Just in time for the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innis_Mor Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Lines at practice, per John Lu: Bourque – Plekanec – Gionta Pacioretty–Desharnais – Gallagher Galchenyuk – Eller – Ryder Moen – Halpern – Prust Gorges – Subban Markov – Bouillon Beaulieu – Drewiske Kaberle – Weber Ryder back at his regular RW A sniper winger on each line (Bourque, not Gionta, if anyone was wondering ; two such, one day, on that third listed line, when Galchenyuk starts hitting the net with that great shot of his) Bouillon moved up. (I presume everyone at practice is instructed not to hit Kaberle (with body or puck) and put him on IR.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinot-1 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 The scheduled puck drop is at 7:30,,,,,,NOT at 7:00 as previously mentioned. When I put up the GDT, 7:00 is what I read. Could a Mod please change the time in the title, and in my opening post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
