kinot-2 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 TONITE, OUR HABS WELCOME TO THE CONFINES OF THE BELL CENTER ONE OF OUR MOST HATED RIVALS Nov 24 7:00 PM ET Boston @ Montreal HNIC, TVAS, NESN, TSN 690 Radio The matchup: This is the second half of a back-to-back for both teams. The Canadiens were in Buffalo, where they put up a strong fight in a late afternoon game Friday, but lost in overtime on Jeff Skinner’s second goal of the contest. This game seemed to represent at least a temporary change in the Canadiens’ philosophy as the team relied more on defence than it has in its earlier games. The Canadiens have lost three games in a row for the first time this season, but two of those losses were in overtime. The Bruins will get a little less rest than the Canadiens because they were at home to Pittsburgh in an evening game. Price gets the call for the Habs, while Rask starts fro the Bruins. The Bruins have some key injuries, Chara, Bergeron, Carlo, and McAvoy are all out. There doesn't appear to be any changes to the Habs lines.

BigTed3 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I'd be surprised if we have no line-up changes tonight. Not sure how you can be a coach and see yesterday's game and be okay with the way your team performed, especially with respect to the defence crew. If it were me, I'd have all of Hudon, Ouellet, and Reilly back in. I'd pull Deslauriers, Schlemko, and Alzner, and I'd ice Drouin-Domi-Shaw Tatar-JK-Gallagher Hudon-Danault-Lehkonen Agostino-Peca-Chaput Reilly-Petry Mete-Ouellet Kulak-Benn This obviously won't happen for who knows why, but I do at the very least expect to see at lest one change on defence tonight and possibly more swaps. You can't ice the same team as yesterday's pathetic performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave up 40 shots in Buffalo. I would hate to see us play a non defensive game. Totally what i expected with the pairings we dressed. Didn't see the game but i assume our D was brutal.

H_T_L Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Here's one confirmed lineup change.... Julien announced prior to the game that Charles Hudon would return to the lineup in place of Matthew Peca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTed3 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Patrick Lalime on TVA talking about when everyone is healthy, says this would be his D line-up: Schlemko-Weber Benn-Petry Reilly-Juulsen He went on to say he liked Schlemko on the first pairing because of his mobility. What games is Lalime watching? If you want mobility, Mete or Reilly trump Schlemko every night. Schlemko has looked slow and out of position on most nights. Really frustrating to see guys like Lalime have jobs when they spew out garbage like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
