Isles to Test Carbo

Expecting a blowout? There is something to be said about top teams playing the bottom feeders of the league. Coaches tend to coach down to their level and Carbonneau is one of those coaches. When playing a pathetic team like the Islanders, it opens an opportunity for a coach to show his colours. To unload on the team and make sure that a statement is sent out around the league that the only way to beat the Habs is to out coach them. When playing a draft lottery team, there is no better opportunity for linemates to experiment and gain their form. Tonight I expect to see Kovy, AK46 and Plex remind us of why they were one of the most feared lines in the 07-08 season. Carbonneau should not take this game lightly, he should press for 60 minutes and embarrass Snow's club. It appears as though whenever Quebec goaltenders face les tricolores they put up a fence and fill the holes with cement. Tonight Danis will be tested, shelled and pulled. Unless our coach decides to play the Islanders game. For once let's dictate the pace and play against a struggling team. Carbonneau don't embarrass us or yourself. 

Go Habs Go

Prediction: W6-1

Hi! Carbo seems to have gotten the message to his players not to underestimate the Islanders. After all, if we lose to them afters beating the Canes and the Wild, it will be a shame! Let's see how this turns out! I predict 4-1.
