THE BIG STORY




THE LIGHTNING WILL BE WITHOUT TEAM LEADING STEVE STAMKOS


AFTER HE BROKE HIS LEG ON MON. DURING THE BOSTON GAME.


STAMKOS HAD A LEAGUE LEADING 14 GOALS


AND WAS TIED FOR THE LEAGUE LEAD IN POINTS WITH 23.



TEAM-WISE, THE LIGHTNING HAVE A SUBSTANDARD POWERPLAY OF ONLY 19.7%


WHILE THE PENALTY-KILL HAS A VERY GOOD KILL RATE OF 85.2%.


IN GOAL WE SHOULD SEE BEN BISHOP, WHO HAS A GAA OF 2.12%, AND A SV% OF .927





OUR HABS HAVE JUST COME OFF A WIN TO CONCLUDE A 4 GAME LOSING STREAK,


WITH THE ELLER LINE ACCOUNTING FOR OVER 1/3 (17) OF THE TOTAL GOALS


SCORED BY THE HABS, THE GIONTA LINE IS NOT FAR BEHIND


WITH 14 GOALS SCORED.


CAREY, WITH HIS 2.20 GAA, AND HIS SV% OF .929, WILL BE IN GOAL.




Here’s how the lines and defence pairings looked at Monday’s practice:


Pacioretty-Plekanec-Gionta

Galchenyuk-Eller-Gallagher

Bournival-Briere-Bourque

Desharnais -White-Parros-Dumont


Markov-Subban

Diaz-Gorges

Bouillon-Pateryn



CONFIRMED LINE-UPS OF BOTH THE HABS AND THE LIGHNING

WILL BE POSTED LATER.

Habs I/O:

Brière could return to the lineup Tuesday when the Canadiens face the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Bell Centre (7:30 p.m., RDS, TSN Radio 690). A decision will be made following Tuesday’s morning skate

As per RDS, Briere will center the 3rd line with Bournival and Bourque as his wingers. Desharnais is a healthy scratch along with Parros and Pateryn. I'm okay with most of this, however, I would have liked to see Greg Pateryn being given the chance on the 3rd pairing "D". It pains me to see the likes of Farncis Bouillon and Douglas Murray not being platooned yet (will it ever happen? Perhaps when Emelin returns ;) )

I can live with that. I was really hoping to see our D look like this though

Subban-Markov

Gorges-Diaz

Pateryn-Boullion

Oh well. Pretty close I guess.

Great GDT, as always

The special effects, with the lightning,

and the bear are almost as good

as the movie Avatar, lol.

Go Habs Go :P

I like the look of that third line a lot, actually.

Great GDT kinot! :D

I think this is a game we should win. The Bolts are 1st in the East, but without Stamkos we can shut them down.

Thanks guys :)

Hello, everyone. :)

Hey,,,big guy.

That's a long drum roll, these 15minutes always feel like forever.

He's got good arms. :P,,,,Sandy Nelson

Divisional game tonight, I believe only the 2nd of the year so it's a big one. This could be for playoff position down the line and it's key to try and take advantage of a Tampa team having to re-adjust after losing its best player. I think this one might be a little chippy, wouldn't be surprised if there's some extra-curricular activity. The key for us is to stay disciplined and win the special teams battle. I think our top three lines may be the best line-up we've been able to bring into a game this season thus far, so hopefully the guys are ready to go.
