Awww... Isn't that precious? Give it a hockey stick.The Florida Panthers are in town. A team that oddly enough plays it's best hockey when in Montreal for some reason despite being stationed in an area that can't keep ice. Is it the ex-Hab goalie factor? Who knows.
Anyway, Halak will be in nets since Les Boys don't play for another week and Carbo likes his goalies froosh. Sergei Kostitsyn will take big brother Andrei's spot on the Kovy-TurtlePleks line. Master Higgins should be back and will take Sergei's spot on the Lang line. Bowling Ball Bouillon should be back too! That means Breezer gets benched? We only hope so. I mean he hasn't been terrible, but he hasn't be anything special either. Same ol' Breezer. And you know what that means... No idea what the 4th line will look like, as Laraque is a rock when he's got the puck while Bégin still has that incredible ability to take stupid penalties at the most inappropriate moment. Still, his energy might be needed. Guess it's a surprise!
Good news on Andrei's condition, though. It has been reported that he's feeling much better, and hasn't had any headaches so thankfully it doesn't look like a serious concussion. He won't be playing tomorrow though, since Carbo doesn't want to risk further injury to him. That's ok. They got about a week off anyway before their next game when the Ducks quack into town.
Centennial Jersey Night #1! And Halak has some vintage-looking pads to match (not real 10-ton vintage pads though, just new ones styled like old ones). It's also the magnetic calendar night, and goddamn I wish I was there. I wanted one of those... (Still can't find any pocket skeds either. Guess I'll try emailing the Habs website).
