Michael Pachla: Habs must be drooling at thought of facing Sabres defense McCabe's injury means a rookie and two AHL vets will be amongst the top-six on the blueline tonight

What's with all the back-to-backs in a row?? Last 6 games now

Nice read. Hopefully Nelson doesn't look out of place like he did at the start of the year. Tough matchup tonight but the Sabres have looked better against strong teams.

Need to make a beer run before the game starts tonight, the 4 left in my fridge will not suffice.

Is bringing up Guhle again on an emergency basis a possibility?
I know there were some circumstances that's allowed him to come up earlier this year, but I don't remember exactly what they were

From the last blog I gathered that he could be called up. Since Fedun and Falk are already here we can circumvent the AHL squad and can take a player straight from juniors. Nelson got the call obviously, but I believe Guhle was an option if they wanted him.

I'll need a bottle of the clear stuff.

St. Louis is falling apart.

And Winnipeg's forward depth is stupid good.

Ok...
I think it also had something to do with his Junior team & him only being able to miss a certain number of their games as well

I guess we'll see how Nelson does

And Faulk/Fedun aren't gonna be able to be "protected" anymore
They're gonna have to play legit minutes against good forwards

These defensemen injuries have been killing us

I like your style

Fedun is what they need more of. They need to open it up a bit, he can do that.

Has our entire defense been healthy at the same time at all this season?
If they were, it wasn't for very many games

jiminy Christmas:

risto/falk
bogo/franson
fedun/nelson

lord help us all

I hear what you're saying...
but "opening it up" gives the other team more offensive opportunities as well, not just us

I had a feeling Faulk might get thrown up there
He's the only LH shot of the group
Looks like Fedun-Nelson will get limited minutes
Probably give them some PP time though

Ya because playing in a defensive shell has really worked out for us so far

This is gonna be brutal
