GO HABS GO!!!!!:yo:

Buffalo will show up, will the Habs?
Will Carbonneau continue with a 4th liner on every line?
Will the ATAK line stay together despite the fact it's never going to work again?
Will D'Agostini play?
Will the Left Wing Liberation commence tonight?

I seriously have no idea what to expect from the Habs

...gettin ready for a 2-1 loss...

Sad, but true...

Its hopeless....utterly, utterly hopeless

Weber IN O'Byrne OUT please. Kosto NOT on the 1st line makes sense..

The most important change I want to see is getting Akost away from Kovalev so he actually has a chance to improve his play...

Expect the unexpected.

i always lol @ your GDT headers habs425, gj.

I'd like to see Dags play with Koivu. Kosto on the 4th and Dandy out.

Thanks :)

This one was made in a hurry, I'm glad it turned out ok...

While I wouldn't mind seeing Weber in O'Byrne needs to play. He has been better as of late. Yes he makes mistakes but that's what rookie D-man do, it's how they learn. Weber is struggling in the AHL, what makes you think he's ready for the speed in the NHL.

Also the best change to make would be Latendresse out D'Agostini in.
Latendresse is a gutless slug. He just plain refuses to play hard and rive to the net. It's maddening to see a guy that size afraid to drive to net with or without the puck. He could be our Lucic but he'd rather play soft like the state puff marshmallow man.

D'Agostini Koivu Higgins
Kostopoulos Lang Kovalev
A. Kostitsyn Plekanec S. Kostitsyn
Lapierre Begin Dandenault Laraque

With Tanguay back in the mix

Tanguay Koivu D'Agostini
Higgins Lang Kovalev
A. Kostitsyn Plekanec S. Kostitsyn
Lapierre Begin Dandenault Laraque

At this point I have giving up on LAtendresse it's been almost 3 seasons and he's shown no sign of becoming that power forward type player. Trade him now in a a package deal for D-man or in a biger deal to land a super star like Kovalchuk.

Latendresse Chipchura O'Byrne Halak and 1st for JayBo

O'Byrne Kovalev and Carbo out please

Bench Kovalev, he needs to know he can't play like this without repercussions.

Go Habs Go...

Mitch

Probably that or AKost in the pressbox. Because those are his two options. Nothing else. Either LW with Plekanec and Kovalev or 4th line/ scratch duty. Never mind the obvious chemistry with his brother, they should only play together as a treat, or reward for good play. Also forget that in 4 games with Lang, AKost had 3 points and the line contributed 5 even strength goals for. It's obvious those two don't work together. It's ATAK line or bust in Carbo's eyes.

It looks very nice. Great work.

lets go Habs.

what is the lineup today ?
we win if the guys show up and dont stand around like a bunch of pylons

I ****ing hope for:

AK46 - Lang - SK74
Dagos - Koivu - Kosto
Higgins - Plek - Lats

Or switch AK46 and Lats

An other meaningless game. Probably an easy win.

are we human or are we dancers?

COuldnt we be both?

I really want to see D'ags in the line up today, and I couldn't care less who gets a little press box time because of it.
