this will be an emotional game but i can t see the habs winning this with the current lineup they have..too many injuries. yes darche is coming back but who cares if plekanec doesn t come back seems like boston will overpower them at home. i think the bruins turned the corner finally on tuesday against devils and should probably go on a nice streak
what does everyone think?
Agreed...but the habs don t have alot of big pieces in the lineup and got embarrassed in mtl last game 4-1. At home they don t come out with an inspired game???
if you look at mtl since with these injuries they barely beat a terrible tampa in OT 2-1, got killed against rangers and rolled into minny who are playing the worst hockey in the league and lost to buffalo at home 2-0. I think bruins come out and play the type of game that got them the 8-6 win in beantown last time they played in boston.

Halpern and Darche should be in the lineup.
Sopel and Plekanec are game time decisions.
I don't feel too confident about the Habs. Although, they have had Thomas's number for the most part and Price has fared quite well against them his whole career.
I do think its a more important game for Boston. The way the mediots talks about these two teams you would never think it but Montreal is 4-1 against them this year and the Bruins need to show to themselves that they can beat Montreal.
First goal will be huge tonight.

i agree..i mean shit..they were -125 at home to the devils 
Ya you could be right...I personally and more focused on the 5th seed for Montreal.
It's just a matter of opinion here. I said a few weeks ago I didn't think Montreal could win the division. Injuries, B's easier schedule and what is it now..2 games in hand?
I know Boston is struggling but motivation or not, they are healthy and good enough to keep that lead imo.

I myself think the Bruins will be coming in waves tonight. Tons of fight in those Habs though and that is never more apparent than when they play Boston.
Should be a good one.....
Ya I buddy of mine was just saying the same thing on the phone to me regarding this line. He said what you are saying that it is around where it usually is lately in Boston with these two.
I guess I just figured with Montreal owning them even better than usual this season (or so it seems from the style of victories), with all the hype of a barn burner and with Bettman warning both teams yesterday, almost assuredly making this a softer game which favors the smaller, speedier Habs that the line would have been a little closer.
As I say it often means nothing anyway. It will have to be decided on the ice as always.
