HabsRuleForever Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 PITTSBURGH PENGUINS VS. MONTREAL CANADIENS Tonight Cry Baby Crosby & Stick Swinging Malkin take on one-man Armia & the reason we stay in most games Mr. Carey Price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying_Lion Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Must win game? I can't help but think it is, seeing as how we're battling them for a playoff spot. But they're the Penguins and as much as they've been struggling this year, I think they still deserve some respect. If Carey doesn't get the start then you've got to think the powers that be have written the game off. I'm not saying we can't win the game with Niemi between the pipes but it certainly makes the job a lot harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinot-2 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Looks like Casey DeSmith could be the starter. In his last 8 starts, he is : 2-5-1 3.52 .900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habberwacky Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Oil up 4-0 on Blue Jackets. If the Oil can hold and we can wing that will help a great deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People forget the Isles and Caps are also only 4 points up on us. Our division top 3 appears to be out of reach, but we're in a battle with 5 teams in the other division and those teams play each other several times. So we really control our own fate, despite our difficult schedule to end the year. The ideal for us would be to finish in the top wild card position and cross over to face the Metro division winner. If we can get into a group with say the Isles, Canes, and Pens/Blue Jackets for example, those are all teams we are capable of beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_T_L Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Assuming Price starts tonight,,, he has a shot at tying Plante's record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinot-2 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 We will find out at 4:30 when Claude Julien meets media at the Bell Centre if Carey Price starts again tonight for #Habs vs. Penguins. I have a feeling he will. In his last 8 games at Bell Centre, Price is 7-1-0 with a 1.74 GAA and a .941 save percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're only 5 points behind the leafs and 8 points back of the bruins. Failing a collosal implosing by the lighting, they are indeed getting 1st but with 17 games and a possible 34 points left to be had, we can still catch the Bs or the Laughs. Wont be easy but if they aim for that, then making a WC spot at worst is a definite possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
