Gameday: Habs @ Bruins 7:30pm

The Habs will be looking to start their four game road trip on a positive note tonight in Boston against the Bruins. Our record is currently 8-3-3, with a 4-1-1 record on the road.

Quick Hits:

Carey Price gets the start in nets. The Habs rookie goaltender with take to the crease tonight against Boston looking to improve on his solid numbers to start the season. Huet did just play his best game of the season against Buffalo but Price is the logical choice for tonight's game. Look for Price to have another solid game and continue to make his case for more playing time despite the strong play of Cristobal Huet. Let's go Pricer...


Praise the lord, Latendresse down to the fourth line: Guillaume has been struggling badly so far this season and the decision has finally been made to take him off the team's second line. Andrei Kostitsyn will be taking his place along side Plekanec and Kovalev. Look for Kostitsyn to be wheeling and dealing out there as everyone knows that's what he has to do to be successful in this league. Here's your shot Andrei...


Patrice Bergeron still sidelined. The Bruins star took a bad hit from behind last week and has reportedly been coming to the arena in a wheelchair. Needless to say he will not be in the lineup against the Habs tonight, but it once again raises the issue of the number of hits from behind and head shots taking place in the NHL these days. There is no place for that type of garbage. Poor Patrice...


Will Ryder snap out of it? Every game I find myself secretly hoping that Ryder is going to start playing like a professional and begin producing at the level that we all expect him to. Right now he is absolutely brutal and it kills me to watch him out there, but as a true Habs fan I am always pulling for all of our players to succeed even if I don't like them at all. We shall see...


GO HABS GO!!
