Pesky Sens again?   Pesky, pesky, pesky!  Mitchell taken off 4th line is gonna nullify that line.  DD centering Hudon and Terry is NOT going to make any impact.  Once again, dependent on Byon-Galchenyuk-Radulov line alone to deliver the goals outside of PP situation.

I think we'll squeak one out but my gosh i hate those forward lines.

 

[Manatee-X]

Looking at Price's record and how he's been playing it's always tough to bet against a win.  But yeesh... these lines may be the worst we've seen this year

Wait 5 minutes and i'm sure they'll change.

[rkgoalie]

once again price will have to play an A+ game for habs to have a chance of winning habs win 3-2

[habs_93]

Paul Byron, Torrey Mitchell, and Andrew Shaw make up half of our top six.

[archey]

Up till 3 this afternoon I was not a Clapton fan and now I think of him more like a brother.

 

These lines are reasonable to me but then I am subject to massive personal changes as I just mentioned.

[BigTed3]

In warm-up now:

Byron-Galch-Radu

Pacman-Plek-Gallagher

Danault-Mitch-Shaw

Carr-DD-Terry

Top 6 isn't bad, but now our old 4th line has become our new 3rd line and our new 4th line is a who's who of leftovers parts.

Lets hope the Sens don't hit the snooze button. I swear some of the worst games I have seen the Habs play are when they play the Sens.
