Habs had same lines today as yesterday, Anderson is a regular, and Paquette and toffoli are in non contact jerseys. The goalies ( Monty and primeau) will each have a game either in Arizona or Dallas.

Lineup tonight.

Hoffman- Suzuki- Anderson
Pitlick-Dvorak- Drouin
Dauphin- Poehling- Caufield
Lehkonen- Evans- Armia

Chiarot-Savard
Romanov-Petry
Kulak-Wideman

Primeau (starting tonight) - Montembeault (starting tomorrow)

My problem with this lineup is: Caufield would be an amazing fit with Dvorak and drouin. I would put pezzetta in the lineup instead of Dauphin. Romy and chiaot should switch spots. Or else I'm fine with it. My lineup;

Hoff-Zukes-Andy
Drou-Dvo-Cole
Lehky-Poehls-Army
Pezz-Evans-Ptlick

Romy-Savy
Ben-Petey
Kuly-Chris

Preems-Monty

3rd jake Allen is getting treatment in montreal he had an MRI today, there is no timeline. For his return.
4th joel edmundson returned to montreal after being in Manitoba because of his father's death, he will resume his treatments he came to montreal yesterday
5th GREAT NEWS tyler toffolis injury is progressing amazingly he will be expected to play a game this week. WAY ahead of schedule

No. Its not good for the mental of the boys to know that the fans want them to lose. Let's hope they try their best, and whatever happens happens

Another sh**ty call by the refs. That is clearly goalie interference! Primeau having a bad game.

No words. I think we need a better goalie prospect for the future. The 2nd line did a really good job today, Dvorak was great on the face-off, drouin with a couple of assists, had a good quiet game today. Pitlick overall looked pretty good. Andy looked good tonight, it is his 1st game in a while. Hoffman with 2 slashing penalties was really lazy tonight. Suzuki looked bad today, lazy also. I think we need Wright as top line center. Caufield looked meh, what has changed between the playoffs and now? When toffoli comes back he really needs to go down to laval. Poehling looked pretty good. Nothing special from Dauphin, armia, lehkonen, and Evans. Defense the priority for them of course. Nothing new from chiarot and Savard. Same from romanov but he looked really good tonight as usual. Petry looked like himself again, quietly running a 2 game point streak. Wideman and kulak could fetch good returns at the deadline. They are good puck movers and can play defense pretty good, nothing in particular bad or good from them tonight. Obviously, primeau looked terrible, Smart move by ducharme to pull him. I have zero confidence of him becoming a starting goalie. Those first 2 goals were from the slot with no screen, he should have stopped both of them. I knew the whole way Moser was going on the backhand there, but Primeau had to stick with him. That schmaltz goal primeau was interfered with rousell, can't really fault him for that. Still I think he had a chance to save that. The games I want to see the habs play are: lots of energy, take the lazy guys out of the lineup, on some occasions Habs should win, goalies should try their best, Habs should put a bunch of stuff on net, play the kids or send them to laval for heavens sake. And lastly go for the top pick or top 5. Habs could pick either Wright, Cooley, nemec, savoie, slavkovsky,yurov, Lambert, miroshnichenko.

Top 3 ☆

1☆ Drouin
2☆Romanov
3☆Pitlick

From Arizona I liked: keller, vejmelka, and Moser.

Habs GM search in final stretch, updates on that later.

Nice. I wonder what he looks like, since I don’t think anyone can find a photo of him on the internet easily.

Toffoli- Suzuki- Evans
Pezzetta- Poehling- Lehkonen
Dauphin- Dvorak-Hoffman

Chiarot-Savard
Clague- Petry
Romanov- Widemam

I honestly think ducharme picked these lines out of a hat, like seriously!?.This is pretty balanced though. Smart move to give montembeault the start.
Lineup changes: OUT: Caufield ( covid protocol), Armia ( covid protocol), Kulak (scratched), primeau ( backup). IN: Pezzetta, Toffoli, Clague, Montembeault. My lines for tonight:

Drou-Dvo-Hoffman

Romy- Savy
Ben-Petey
Kuly-Chris

Monty-Preems
