I predict that players will change tonight. Especially the 4th line... I believe the Koivu line and Kovy line will be intact. I do hope he does not change the Higgins line... They have played very well and they are the reason we managed a point last game.
I would sit, Smokes, Kostopoulos and put in Begin and Lapierre... We need the intensity and hopefully they will show it tonight...
I hope Breezer sits and O'Byrne plays. O'Byrne has to get ready for the playoffs. All of our young guys have to see playoff action.
The fact that there is no decision on that yet makes me uneasy. It should be an automatic - Price in, OB in!
So is it confirmed that Begin will play tomorrow? Heard some rumblings about it on RDS tonight.
Steve Ludzig just said the Habs will win the cup!
Interesting article on the G&M web site titled "The secret of Habs success". Finally some stuff about the Habs, I guess they finally have given up on the Laffs.

I agree with everything he said except Guillaume Latendresse.
The "Chosen One" has come. His name is "CAREY PRICE".
TSN couldn't resist tonight and did some stupid segment on the leafs to let viewers believe they still have a chance of making it. What a joke.
Argh!!! Both devils and rangers get points. Hate these 3 point games. Wonder what the standings would have been now if it were for the point for the loss in OT or SO.
Buffalo too mounted a monster comeback against the Lightning. Everybody's playing desperate hockey. Wouldn't hurt habs to play with a bit of desperation too...
Timo - I love the three-point games. If teams are tied after 60 minutes they should get the point they've earned.
PHOTOS
I don't know how many check out the photo section, but i'd almost say its the BEST PART OF THIS SITE...the REAL DEAL.
especially after they started adding PRACTICE SHOTS...they are GREAT, you can really read into whats happening in the players eyes, and its 99.9% POSITIVE.
actually last week when the ISLES where in town the photographer caught a great shot of the ISLE players watching the HABS practice...that was deep, and clandestine like...
and...there is a "great" shot of BREEZE in top form...see if you can find it.

1. WE ARE DEAD MEAT WITHOUT OUR OWN POLICING
1. Feb 19, 2008 - History was made.
2. Thank GOD we have Alex Kovalev.....at his PRIME
3. The BELL CENTRE should be rebuilt to sit 80,000 fans
4. We will win the CUP
Thanks Professor. I always used to check the photos, but have not lately. I did not know about the Practice Shots, and am glad you told us. I agree with you that they are GREAT!
Yah, has anyone seen that shot of them getting on the bus with their gear on? What's that about?
They were probably practicing in Verdun or Brossard or something like that.
"Are the Habs ready to pay the Price?"
some really great shots.

I gotta say, I didn't even know it was there, and I've been posting here for four or five months. But you're right, they're great!
www.flickeringpictures.com - not a hockey site, but still kinda neat
Wow, you're right. I never noticed the photo's section, too quick to jump to the comments. Really like the Carbo pic from the practice.
Disgusting. now both NJ and the NYR get a point.
"Are the Habs ready to pay the Price?"
Devils are now 0-6 against the Rangers this year. yeah, sucks about that point.

Montreal had it's chance to take a commanding lead a top the the Eastern Conference. Blowing sure leads. Not beating last place teams for a sure 2 points. Hell, Montreal blew enough games to be ahead of the Wings. What happens now happens.
Anyway, Lets come out strong and play 60 mins for a change. Go Pricy. You are our #1 Man.
OH. For God's sakes grow some B@LLS D-men and clear the trash from the front of the net for Price.
The "Chosen One" has come. His name is "CAREY PRICE".
This is seriously a high octane game. Wow, what a GAME
Playing (and winning) a home-and-home with Boston is exactly the psychological uplift the Habs need as the season closes out...on the other hand, losing both games would be the worst thing possible for morale, but I think they'll come out fast and furious and finish 8-0 on the season series.
Is that Dave Gilmour in a habs sweatshirt?
NICE.
Thank you...an optimist (finally)
LET ME MAKE MYSELF CLEAR
BEST HOCKEY 7 - 1
WORST HOCKEY 4 - 4
YOU FIND YOURSELF A MIDDLE GROUND

OFFICIAL ESPN CUP PREDICTION: Montreal vs San Jose
rangers losing 1-0 and i think tampa is beating buffalo 1-0
Notice the extreme intensity in the rangers/devils game. Habs are nowhere near this degree of intensity. It sucks cuz we looked like this about 3 weeks ago, but now, not at all.
WOULDNT IT BE NICE IF THE HABS PLAYED THE REMAINING 8 GAMES AND THE REST OF THE PLAYOFFS LIKE THEY DID IN THE THIRD AGAINST NYR ON THAT MEMORABLE NIGHT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OFFICIAL ESPN CUP PREDICTION: Montreal vs San Jose
We missed Steve badly against St. louis and the Islanders. he has the speed and the work ethic. Nobody on the current team wears the CH more proudly. His only problem is that he'll get himself injured time and time again cause of his grit and never quit.
In Bob we Trust.
just an observation and hopefully some of the Habs will read this (yeah right, and I'm winning the next 6/49 jackpot) you guys have to stop the tentative starts like you've been doing the last few games...you have to come out banging and smacking and when they get up, ask them if they want a fresh one. Set the tone and let them know who the alpha dogs are... this wait and see crap and catching up in the 3rd has to stop now!
Ok I've said enough, hopefully Steve Begin will be rested and pissed and he can raise the bar a bit. Let's keep the opponents on a short leash boys.
Go Habs Go
Cannot agree more! I am watching the NJ vs NYR game on TSN and what a revelation. These teams are holding nothing back, very intense and physical. For those people who think the Habs can coast into the playoffs, WAKEUP. All the other contenders are playing playoff hockey NOW, they know you just can't turn it on at will. The Habs have to play with some emotion and establish that they BELONG in the top echelon of teams. Right now I see a team playing soft and unwilling to pay the price to win games. If we go into NJ, NY or Washington with the present attitude we will be destroyed. PASSION is what the Habs lack, how a team can play before 21,000 frenzied fans and not show up is beyond me.
We have 8 games left with 4 teams, Boston, Ottawa, Buffalo & Toronto. The last good & complete game we participated in was against the Devils. Playing 20-30 minute games will not get us any victories down the stretch as we are facing teams trying to secure playoff positions as well as division and conference standings. We must treat each game as a 7th game of a series.
