If we're trying to replace what Evans brought to that line then it would be Lehks. If we want to do a little gambling that Tuna breaks out, then we re unite that line.

If either doesnt impress then i could see the other one drawing in the following. I dont think Gustafsson will be out, despite the bad play. I think they value him on the pp too much. I do think romanov MIGHT come in (1 game lead, early in the series) but it would be at Kulak's expense i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTed3 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Read into this what you want but the Habs had an optional practice today and all the guys who didn't play yesterday showed up and also Kulak. No Gus. No Merrill. The odds seem reasonable that Romanov will get in at some point. But will it be for Kulak or for Gus? Or will DD just stick with the same line-up til they lose? DD has also said it's unlikely he'll go 11F/7D so up front it's largely between Tatar and Lehkonen. I'd throw Ylonen in too but I think it's unlikely DD goes there. My guess would be Tatar based purely on the fact that it's his old line that has the hole there. I think DD is going to be reluctant to break up his other lines, so whoever comes in probably slots next to Danault and Gallagher, and that's likely an easier spot for Tatar to go in. Danault's line won't be shadowing Scheifele any more either, so maybe there's less concern about needing Lehkonen's defensive ability on that line too.

I would prefer Leks.....next to Gally he's the hardest worker in the room (imho).........but I fear tatar will get the nod, he's just been fairly less than average this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifer_rocket Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 I suspect Tatar comes in. It's going to be an interesting game tonight. I think the four-game suspension should be enough to cool any sort of retribution-type mentality from the Habs. However, I suspect this will be a physical game either way. Will the Habs show up and give their best effort of the post-season? I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that both teams seem to be viewing the hit differently. Montreal players are all mad but from the other side it sounds like many feel it was clean - the jets are even using the hit in part of a clip on their social media posts... Hopefully the boys dont take their foot off the gas. Great opportunity to get a nice lead on this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing for the boys to do...IMHO...is keep their eyes on the goal...to make goals..that is what will be the best payback , if you will, against the Jets...

campabee82 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 OK prediction time again, I predict a 6-1 Habs win. I think Schiefele and the Jets made a huge mistake poking the bears. Look for Weber, Chiarot, Edmundson, Petry and Anderson to step up the physical game and Price to continue his world class play. I think the offense will wake up and the series will be over before Shiefele makes it back into the lineup. What kind of a world class douche doesn't even reach out to a guy he nearly killed on a horribly dangerous play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. its not used in the most tasteless way but i still think the decision to use it was not the best. 13 minutes ago, H_T_L said: Statsny apparently skated this morning and RDS is speculating that it will be Lehky in for Evans. He'll presumably be playing hurt then. Any word on DeMelo? He's probably their most consistent DMan & thats an area where they are already not great.

Not to mention Stastny being < 100%, so either being out too or playing hurt. Wpg is thin at center and their D stinks. Those are key positions. If they can stop Connor, Dubois, and Ehlers, there's not a whole lot else their to support those 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe the person who runs their social media wasn't aware or the damage done by the hit and just saw it as something to put into a clips package? Any other explanation is just super terrible to me (and even that one's a bit of a stretch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 3rd pairing supposedly staying the same. Lehkonen is a game-time decision but will play for Evans if he is ready. Tatar sits. Romanov sits.
