DanielNegreanu 141 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Both are going to play tonight, who would you put in the lineup?Ott plays at LA after playing last night.Kostitsyn is at home against Chicago, a much better defensive team, and is coming off of a flu.

Dallas/LA has the potential to be rough, and if it is, then Ott may spend half the game in the penalty box, and be more concerned with mixing it up than scoring. The Habs are playing for their lives, against a Chicago team that will be playing fast and loose. That game could should be wide open. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ott vs LA.He gets top line icetime with Ribeiro and Eriksson on his line, and LA is a softer opponent than Chicago. Roto says Kostitsyn should play, but who knows how effective he'll be coming off the flu. Link to post Share on other sites
TaxLawyer71 0 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ott.Ribeiro racks up a ton of points, mostly assists, vs LA - most than against any other team in the league.Kostitsyn is coming back and might be a bit rusty. Also he was not productive when he got sidelined. In fact, that Mtl second line has been struggling for a while. Dallas' first line had lots of chances last week vs the Kings, but Quick was simply on fire out there. Link to post Share on other sites

coesillian 0 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 FWIW Saturday night he was a game time decision and didn't play, then sunday there was no practice and I saw clips of practice yesterday and he seemed to be skating full throttle with everyone else, he's reported to start tonight. Gainey has been calling out the 2nd line to step it up, since his brother has been called up they haven't been producing. He'll be on line with Plekanec and Sergei. Andrei is 1g, 1a in his last 14 games and is pointless in 6 games. Huet will be in nets for the hawks, former hab, so Andrei might remember some of his soft spots, but Huet wil likely be amped up for this game. Link to post Share on other sites
coesillian 0 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 other note;the habs are wearing their glorious barbershop uniforms tonight.last time they wore these uniforms they lost 3-1 to boston when Andrei scored the lone goal. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 tough call, but I would have to go with Ott. 26pts in his last 28gp!Ott 10pts last 14gpAKost 2pts last 14gp.Ott is first unit PP, AKost is 2nd unit. And this is a big game for Huet vs Mtl. He has a shot to maybe regain the #1 job tonight after having to sit for 2 weeks as Quinville decided to ride Khahbibulin. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Steve Ott....AINEC...Kostitsyn has 2pts since Feb 19...And is technically day to day(according to yahoo)Steve Ott has been much more of a producer, especially in the past 6 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ott for all the reasons stated. The only way he doesn't get a point is if he is in the box all game. Link to post Share on other sites
coesillian 0 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Why didn't they ever end up wearing those cool blue uniforms with the gothic "C" on the front?The "centenial" runs through until December of next season, I think they will wear them early next season.Game decision by Gainey was to not wear the barbershop jerseys lol, I guess he doesn't like them.
