Would it be funny or sad if Tex, Bolduc and Blais all ended up on the score sheet?

Tex and Bolduc will be playing with an edge for sure.

[sdaltons]

This is not the first time we've faced Bolduc, guys

[27-12-16]

Why is #23 scrathced?

[MrPostman01]

Perhaps the coach was itching to scratch him?

Why is #23 scrathced?

That's not the official lineup. Same as yesterday with the goalie change. No morning skate so we likely won't find out until game time.

Montgomery said both Mathieu Joseph and Robby Fabbri will mix in and play center on the fourth line. As for scratching Sundqvist, "Three in four and his body's a little banged up. We don't love to play him in back to backs just because of all the situations."

If Mailloux and Binner conspire to let in a goal or two before we've registered a SOG (Again!) I'm turning this [shirt] off.

Pays to have an alternate plan this year. I'm hoping they come out with a good forecheck and maybe get the first goal or two. How long can adrenaline stay in the bloodstream?

You know your team is good when your 2nd pairing defenseman is leading your team in scoring and he's really not doing anything special...Woof!

[zamadoo]

While "The Drive for 25 is Still Alive" in MTL, there's no reason the Blues shouldn't beat the Habs here at home. New Year New Team!

LGB!

And down goes Joseph!
