The challenge tonight — Habs at Bolts open thread

So the Canadiens are coming off a loss against the Panthers in South Florida last night. The Lightning are coming off a pathetic disappointing loss to the Flyers on Thursday night.

David Aebicher will be in net for the Habs tonight — who’ve generally have owned the Lightning since the NHL returned from the lockout last season… The Habs are also trying not to lose back-to-back games for the first time this season.
EDIT Well, TSN.ca was absolutely wrong. Huet started again tonight.

    “Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.”

    Andreas Karlsson is playing tonight. He’s not being sent down.

    Meanwhile, Jay Feaster looks like he’s been binge eating those Cheetos he loves…

    Well, I know I am just talking to m’self here but 17-1 SOG 3/4ths of the way through the first? Nice job…

    trying to “watch” on yahoo sports refresh. SOG’s wow! Goals :-((.

    They are spending a lot of time in the Habs zone, Tiny…. It’s giving the defense less to worry about by being on offense more often.

    At times the Habs have made the Lightning defense look competent though… No, wait, make that down right serviceable.

    5 minutes left in regulation, 3-1. The Habs are +16 in the third, so I am not counting them out yet.

    Did Huet start?
    What’s going on? I haven’t seen an update since 6:00 left.

  7. tiny... Says:

    Ahhhh.

    Kuba scores, Richards scores, what “looked” like a complete domination of a top tier team that usually has our number, and Boltsmag is back!
    I’ll bite, this is the turnaround point of the season. ;-)

  8. tiny... Says:

    Ooops, and Prospal too.

  9. John F. Says:

    Yeah, Huet started in Net.

    I’m sure as hell hoping this is a turnaroudn point but read my game recap — I’m a bit leary because I think the Canadiens lost focus on these last two games and that’s why they lost…
