Garon tonight in net for Lightning vs Habs. Coach Boucher said if Mikkelson, Purcell or Thompson play (all are ill) it will be "a bonus."

So, if Purcell, Thompson and Mikkelson can't play what are we looking at for tonight? Something like this?

Malone - Stamkos - St. Louis
Wyman - Pyatt - Connolly
Angelidis - Hall - Segal
Labrie - Smith - Wallace

Brewer - Clark
Gervais - Lee
Commodore - Oberg

Marty and Stammer can never come off the ice.

[EvanOberg]

Lets go Lightning Ill be at the game tonight. Wish Aulie was playing too.

LOL, if we manage a win with this lineup, I'm gonna question how we lost any games all year long. We have a snowball's chance in hell with half our lineup being call-ups.

But that call ups have been good. We sorta needed them to turn this around. We had a team that didn't try hard enough after an amazing playoff run. We didn't put in the effort and a lot of players like Marty were saying that team felt entitled sometimes because of last year. Then we brought in some guys like Wyman and Labrie who had everything to prove and worked their butts off that spread throughout the lineup.

[snowden]

If we pull off a win, Montreal really sucks then. This is gonna be an interesting game.

[Vasilevski]

I don't even know how I'm excited for today's game with that line-up

That roster

Tonight should be entertaining to watch. Lee and Commodore aren't going to know what they got into with this squad tonight; What a welcome game lol. At least this is Montreal, and not an elite squad, so not all hope is lost.

It's a tank off. May the less worse team win.

Pacioretty-Desharnais-Cole
Bourque-Eller-Palushaj
Geoffrion-Plekanec-White
Staubitz-Gomez-Nokelainen

Josh Gorges-Pk Subban
Alexei Emelim- Raphael Diaz
Tomas Kaberle-Yannick Weber

Carey Price

[I Am Beat You]

Our callups have played very well for us, so I'm not too concerned. And of course, I'm a big fan of the amount of grit and toughness in our lineup.

[Pierre Dagenais]

I hope Tampa Bay wins.. we need Yakupov more than you guys

[Maxpac]

Is Labrie going to play tonight or not?

[HJimm]

All it's gonna take is a spark. Stevie's done his tweaks so lets see how this mix is gonna fly. It's a work in progress and the fact that they are only 6 pts out is a plus considing. I'm sure he's hoping they get hot and ride it just like last year... 'cept for one factor. How's the Norfolk tender been lately?

[PoundCake]

Tonight, Brett Clark is our #2 Dman. Stop and just think about that for second.

Good god man, what happened to your team? I remember Tampa having a good lineup a year ago.

Good timing with flu and injuries.

Like 4 guys and a coach have the flu.

stevie y is a master gm, no need to worry...sigh.
alot of red here tonight. Also, that hockey paradise song makes me want to harm toddlers. Brittany zions voice isnt much better.

we probably wont win tonight. The new jerseys and logo cursed us this year, im sure of it.

[Kristia]

Tampa's got this win tonight.. yeah buddy..

We have a great top line and you have a great goalie both surrounded by a lot of suck. Should be fun.

also Gomez is still the 4th line center on that lineup

[Death Taxes Conacher]

Teddy Purcell is on the ice for #TBLightning in warmups. Do not see Nate Thompson, Mikkelson, or Wallace.

Ive been subjected to her voice for quite some time as a season ticket holder. Her voice makes me yearn for nails on a chalk board. She isnt that good either, messes up often. Hate how sports teams and networks hire these hot chicks who arent good at their job.

[Felonious Python]

Scott Gomez hat trick?
