Defenceman Jaroslav Spacek will miss tonight’s crucial game against the Flyers because he’s suffering from flu-like symptoms. In his absence, Marc-André Bergeron will move to defence and Ben Maxwell will play on the fourth line.
The Canadiens are also missing Sergei Kostitsyn, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Tom Pyatt is taking his spot.

Hey Jimmy Shaker, this is why I rather have Hamrlik on D instead of MAB,
which you suggested earlier, it wasn’t the bad pinch, but late in the
first, he was on the boards and passed it back to the slot right to a
flyer. I love him for his point shot but he can’t play D
I concur, if the Habs were in the second round and needed a D-man then call up PK but otherwise leave him win with the Dawgs.

There should be a strategic decision-making from JM: Don’t play MAB as a Dman for the rest of this season.
If Spack is still not available tomorrow, a Dman from Dogs should be called up, ideally PK Subban.
Nice pinch…Nice give away MAB….Hab4life
Totally with you on that one, Ian.
Hate to harp on about it, but look at Del Zotto. Brought up too early. -22. Bad for a young d-man.

Good start nice work along the boards, nice goal Pleks.
To you from failing hands we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high.

I am sure this didn’t just pop up with Spacek, why didn’t the Habs just call up an extra d-man from Hamilton. The flight wouldn’t have taken that long and it wouldn’t leave them shorthanded.

The Dogs need PK and PK needs the Dogs. He needs to finish the year with his team that is heading for a lot longer playoff run than we are I’m afraid. The experience in the AHL playoffs will be a plus for the HABS when he earns a spot on our roster in the fall.
Let him finish his year in style with his team.!
Ugh, why couldn’t we just call up Alex Henry for this one? Knuckles Henry.
Yea, tonight is going to be a total **** show if we can’t crack Boucher early.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu.

Colby Armstrong is out for 2 games. Atlanta has tough sched and that ain’t gonna help.
What a goof!
Gotta light him up early and often like the Isles did last night.
The defence has been frustrating to watch. This does not help. The Habs have been very vunerable deep in their own end. Need to finish checks and make simpler plays out of the zone. That puck has a tendency to linger way too long behind our own blueline.
I would call up a Dman from Dogs.
PK PK PK PK PK
Obviously can’t call-up some one 90 minutes before gametime…
Just for the record, here’s the source of Spacek’s illness.
And who was the first Hab to have words with Powe after that hit????? Price was
No practice=victory
the human pin ball back to defence…..hate being negative.
i hate being negative too – but i’m not sure that you could’ve described him any better. it looks like his skates are about 5 sizes too big. he does have one heck of a shot though.
I am really disappointed with the management. Why all these surprises? You can’t get ill suddenly. There must be time to call up Subban if they think the game is important. I think the management fails the team.
Best call PK for Saturdays game
