How's Carey? How's Carey? How's Carey?!

Thanks JR. Well let's see if this storm blows over & we can win again.

Thanks for the GDT, JR, ,

Petry is injured (lower body) and will not play. I guess that means that Beau is in.

I'd rather that we were playing Detroit, but .....

We aren't going to win this game....who am I trying to kid?

[jennifer_rocket]

Thanks JR. Well let's see if this storm blows over & we can win again.

Lovin' the cheesy storm reference. Keep 'em coming.

[HabsRuleForever]

Lovin' the cheesy storm reference. Keep 'em coming.

Thunderous applause to you.

[kinot-1]

I'm predciting a stormy night for the Habs.

[jennifer_rocket]

I'm thinking Scrivens will have to WEATHER the STORM in the first period. Tehehehe.

[Clues]

Thanks for the thread, jr!

[Marathon.Man]

GO HABS GO!!!

[mysideofthemirror]

Is our recent success just going to be another FLASH in the pan?

[jedimaas]

Lets hope we can get a little momentum going here. Part of me wants to tank but the other part realizes we only have a small window with this current roster & it would be a shame to give up this season. If we can somehow manage to squeak into the P/Os and then Carey comes back, who knows.


Ps, JR: I didnt realize you were a Twin Peaks fan. Did a sketch of Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) which he reposted on most of his social media accounts ;P lol

Link to my Sketch of Coop!

[kinot-1]

Garrison is out for TB. TB is without a top-four defenseman and key penalty killer. Garrison ranks second on the team in blocked shots (76) and fourth in hits (68), his 16:18 average even strength ice time third on the team.

Bishop is starting tonight, and is 10-1-3 with a 1.62 goals against average in 15 career regular season games against Montreal. Tampa Bay is 8-0-2 in its last 10 games against Montreal, though the Canadiens beat the Lightning 4-3 in a shootout Dec. 28 in Tampa.

Har-har. Good one.

And in response... Most likely!

TBH, I really enjoyed the first season, but lost interest in the second. I've never actually finished the series. Maybe I will now that there's a new season coming out. That's a beautiful sketch! So cool that he reposted it on Instagram!

[habs_93]

I wonder what the Log Lady thinks of our chances tonight.

[jennifer_rocket]

She would think nothing about our chances. However... the log. The log probably has a lot say!

[southernhabfan]

How's Carey? How's Carey? How's Carey?!

Carey who?????

I believe him as far as I can throw him.

[Habs=stanleycup]

LOL, and I'm sure he can't be thrown very far!

[kinot-1]

I can't figure this one out. Last night,, TB was losing 4-1 with 4:38 left in the 3rd. They pull their goalie, Sens score seconds later to make it 5-1,,, and still Cooper leaves his goalie out for the rest of the game. He must have been some ticked off. I expect tonight will be a different game from them.

[PuckPundit]

Not going to win this game. Tampa will take it.

<off topic> after Laura Palmer's killer was discovered the series really took a nose dive (some good sequences but lots of fast forwarding through certain characters' plotlines) but Lynch & co really pulled it back together for the last few episodes of season 2 before the finale. Id definitely suggest trying to watch the whole thing if you are plannign on watching the new season. </return to topic>
