[habby4ever]

Great GDT, a new start

Go Habs Go.......

[ColRouleBleu]

It looks like Brière and Emelin will be the scratches tonight

[hatethosebruins]

Isnt december usually our slump month?

[Guest]

It looks like Brière and Emelin will be the scratches tonight

Good call. Both have looked awful last month.

[ColRouleBleu]

Line at practice today:

Pacioretty-Desharnais-Gallagher

Bourque-Plekanec-Gionta

Galchenyuk-Eller-Prust

Bournival-White-Moen

Briere

Markov-Gorges

Bouillon-Subban

Murray-Diaz

Emelin

Price gets the start

[THEBIGGESTHABSFAN123]

Maybe Emelin would do better if he played his natural side on the third pair.

[kinot-1]

Great GDT kinot.

This better be good.

Thanks for the GDT, kinot!

Go Habs Go!

Great GDT, a new start

Time for habs to start

a new winning streak

Go Habs Go.......

Thanks guys and girl.

[I1IscottieI1I]

Boulion playing as much 5 on 5 as subban is concerning

[vegasrick]

Besides being happy that Boston lost, I'm happy that December is over. Lets win this

[THEBIGGESTHABSFAN123]

I would be more comfortable with

Gorges - Subban

Markov - Diaz

Or

Markov - Subban

Gorges Diaz

That would reunite Mouillon but If I were coach, Emelin would be on the third pairing with Pateryn.

[clintcevans]

Great GDT as usual Kinot! Alright Habs lets start the new year off on a positive note! Go Habs Go!

Does anyone know when Canada will announce their Olympic roster?

I think January 7th.

[Guest habs1952]

Any truth to the rumor Therrien is a healthy scratch tonight? I'd like to know so I don't get my hopes up just to be disappointed.

[js2]

So one of the top defencemen in the league will be paired with a guy that's lucky to even be a part of an NHL team? This team is a disaster.

[dwdemonwolf]

Can we go back to Subban-Markov, Gorges-Diaz please? And let Emelin play on his best side on the third pairing til he finds his groove again, it's just a matter of time.

and can we get Briere out of the doghouse with some decent linemates?

Briere-Plekanec-Gionta
Pacioretty-Desharnais-Bourque

Galchenyuk-Eller-Gallagher

Moen-White-Prust

HIRE ME

..it's scary!

My remaining shreds of respect and patience for Therrien are being stressed pretty hard lately.
