Before the Puck Drop: Buffaslugs @ Senators

By -
Tonight, Paris, France native and living bobble head Stephane Da Costa will draw into the lineup to try and spark some offense for the Senators. Zach Smith will get first shot at the second line center spot but if he can't create chances early I expect to see Da Costa slide up the depth chart. Zibanejad will get a chance on the top line with Turris and Alfie, I think thats a good line because it spreads out the Senators offensive players (like all 3/4 of them) and gives Zbad a shot to learn from Alfredsson.

Gonchar is back after missing a game with the flu, The Tenderness is still out with "whiplash" (code word for being fat).

The key to the game tonight will be stopping the Vanek, Hodgson and Pominville line who are on fire. If we can't the Sens have no shot. On a side note I think its hilarious that the Canucks said they artificially increased Hodgson's stats to make him more tradeable. Thats such a load of crap and an excuse for making a bad trade. 9/10 GMs will take Hodgson over Kassian with the exception being a GM that has Alain Vigneault as a coach, who clearly was never fan of the kid in Vancouver. Ryan Miller sits in favour of Jhonas Enroth tonight, he is still a rock solid goaltender so don't get your hopes up.

Good luck to les boys and enjoy the game!

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!

Why Are 'Fans' Dictating a Culture of Losing?

If you don't want this, you suck. The NHL has been floating the idea of a 24 team playoff format. Under the proposed format, there would be some sort of play-in tournament for what would serve as the "real playoffs."   When I heard this as a life long Habs fan I was ecstatic, finally for the first time in 3 years we are going to get some semblance of playoff hockey in Montreal.  This is the best news to come out of sports in months! And then I took to Twitter and came across a bunch of alleged Habs fans who have grown up without ever seeing a Stanley Cup parade posting wild takes.  Tweets on tweets about not wanting to make the playoffs because we somehow don't deserve it. Are you kidding me? We didn't make up Corna rules, Corna rules are THE RULES! As if whoever wins the Stanley Cup will need an asterisk.  Every organization is on an even playing field with this thing.  If some players don't want to isolate and follow the rules and organizations have to us...
