According to a poster on the Price thread Team 990 says it is the same line-up as last game. If this is true I'm glad Ryder is back in for tonight's game, he played well last game. A reinvigorated Ryder would be a huge asset going down the stretch.

I just heard the same thing, No Smokes, Breezer or Kosto.

GO HABS GO
Good. Smolinski and Brisebois should never play again.
Habs have to stay disciplined to win this one... no doubt, Hollweg, Orr et all feel somewhat responsible for the last games turn-around. No better way to fire back then with a couple of powerplay goals. Should be a great second half game, once the dust settles.
the Rangers need this win to put more distance between Buffalo and Boston, i doubt they will come out looking for revenge, this game too important right now for them. if we play smart and let the Rangers run around (if they chose to do so), that this will be an easy 2 points for us.
Be nice to get a win against the Rags, especially after the collapse in the last game against them. Hopefully Price can keep the hot streak going as well. Go Habs Go!
Beat Them at Their own Game- After two of the roughest games of the year against Philadelphia, I highly doubt the Canadiens will be intimidated by the shenanigans of Sean Avery and Ryan Hollweg. A lot of people have been complaining about Maxim Lapierre’s willingness to be an ‘edgy’ player, who is unwilling to defend himself after he gets under someone’s skin…that might bode quite well for him tonight. The Canadiens should do everything possible to play on that edge. The third and fourth lines are a huge key to winning this hockey game. Whether it’s Begin, or Kostopoulos, or Lapierre, they are going to have to instigate that edgy style of game, as opposed to letting their counterparts do it to their teammates.

This is the most important game of the year. It once was New Jersey, now it is this. Engles column reminded me of how our momentum last season was knocked by New York. They have been doing a good job pushing us off of our game at the most inopportune time. We're riding high once again, so close to the top, but we know we are a flawed team. This close to the trade deadline, we need to prove, as a team, we can play hard but play smart. No cheapshots, no fighting, just hard checking, clean face off wins, and breaking down Lundqvist.

Never thought of that last game. This one should be interesting.
