New Jersey at Montreal 12/6/08

[nilan30]

Montreal plays game four of a season high seven game homestand after having won the first three agains the Sabres, Thrashers and Rangers. The Habs look to be icing the same lineup as the past two which means Laraque and Begin will stay in while Latendresse, Sergei Kostitysn and Ryan O'Byrne play cards in the press box for the third straight game. The Devils are coming off a ot win against Philly.

The Habs need to go at least 5-2 during this homestretch to keep pace with the red-hot Bruins who don't seem to lose ever. Hopefully we'll see a tilt or two, not involving guys named Lapierre or Koivu. Looking forward to seeing this Pierre Luc Leblind Letorneau?? Been reading his name on here a lot but admittedly don't know much about him. Is he a heavy? light-heavy? middleweight? I'm also quite happy that the Habs are hosting Jersey during Brodeurs absence as he seems to play some of his best games in his hometown with his dad taking his pictures.

Go Canadiens

LeBlond is in so you crazy French-Canadians can see one of your own. Devils D better be on top of its game and the offense better take advantage of the PP. If not this game could be out of reach for the Devils fast
