Montoya will need to have a fantastic game, the Habs to score a few on the PP and play their best defensive game of the year to have a chance.

Yeah....not looking good

Great stuff, Jen! I'm surprised the fear mongering hasn't started with Price..The stretching in the last game, now Montoya starts?

Now, to the questions:
1) Will Desharnais finish the game still centering the top line? I would not be surprised if Shaw gets an opportunity if he continues his strong play as of late as Pacioretty and Radulov could use some net presence on their line.

He is Therrien's favorite child...he'll stick, no doubt, because MT doesn't have many other viable options.

2) Will the powerplay suffer without Galchenyuk or is Shea Weber the most important skater that the Canadiens cannot afford to lose?

On the PP, Weber is key, no offense to AG.

3) Can the Canadiens give Montoya the proper defensive support he deserves?

Let's hope so, or he returns to the form he had to start the season.

4) How will Barberio perform with the man advantage? How much longer until the Canadiens give Zach Redmond an opportunity?

I'm surprised they haven't already given Redmond a chance. I'm not saying Barbie will be bad on the PP, but Redmond has shown a nose for the net.

5) What will be the final score of the game?

4-3 Blues

I thought Redmond was injured. Eitherway they are a couple of 7th D that are trying to play over their heads.

wooo

i betted two dollars on st-louis in regulation. that way i thought that either way i would be happy with the outcome (a canadiens win or a few dollars made).

i just didn't believe that the worst would happen.

It was a nailbiter game in the end there guys.
