Sorry for the lack of effort. I am not feeling well, and my computer has not felt like cooperating with me today.

The apocalypse is upon us.

No worries Clues. Feel better soon!

Should be an interesting game.  Both teams have had similar poor stretches and disappointments.  

I think it will be close - maybe 3-1 habs

[jwlk]

we gonna win 2-0

[kinot-2]

Thanks, Clues. Get well soon.

Columbus enjoys an 11-9-3 record against the Canadiens since joining the NHL as an expansion team in 2000, and the Blue Jackets are 6-5-2 at the Bell Centre. Columbus is 4-0-1 against the Canadiens in their last five meetings and that includes an embarrassing 10-0 defeat last season at Nationwide Arena on Nov. 4, 2016. Columbus has the worst power play in the NHL with a success rate of 8.6 per cent, but they are 7-for-14 in their last four games against Montreal. And you don’t want to take your chances in overtime against the Blue Jackets who are an NHL- best 5-0-1 after regulation.

The 2nd and 4th should be good for a couple of goals each.

 

 

 

 

For them

Mete to 4th line. Davidson and Morrow on D. Mitchell out.

Mete is a forward now?

I guess so. But you knew that if he was going to be one, he'd be on the 4th line, because he's a Mete and potatoes kind of guy. A real (Mete) grinder.

wow....the Game Day Threads are becoming ghost towns.  Good thing they don't sell beer here.   

[vegasrick]

Galchenyuk-Drouin-Byron.....that has the makings of a good line.  Lots of speed there. 

[BigTed3]

And down 1.

[vegasrick]

What the heck?  That was fast.  1-0 CBJ.

But they do sell beer at the Bell Center, where people also aren't going any more.

[BigTed3]

Icing!

[H_T_L]

Great start. We dress a ton of D and none of them can cover.

[habs_93]

Just as I tune in, of course.

[BigTed3]

Why would you move Mete to forward and leave Alzner in the line-up on D?
