Audio: Murray in, Bégin and Latendresse sit

There's little surprise that Guillaume Latendresse is a healthy scratch tonight. There's a huge surprise that Steve Bégin will be sitting beside him in the press box. Head coach Guy Carbonneau has scratched both players, along with defenceman Josh Gorges, and will use Garth Murray and Mikhail Grabovski against the Florida Panthers.

--> Carbonneau speaks about his lineup tonight. He says, with more than a little edge in his voice, that he'll talk to his players off the ice, out of the view of media whose speculation and "having fun on TV" he doesn't enjoy. Clip runs 4:53.
--> Bégin admits he was stunned to learn he's a healthy scratch tonight. Clip runs 2:42.
--> Latendresse on being left out of the lineup. Clip runs 1:40.
--> Murray says he didn't mope during the four games he watched from the press box, and he understands the opportunity he has against Florida. Clip runs 1:05.
--> Bryan Smolinski on the challenge of playing a Jacques Martin-coached team. Clip runs 1:27.
--> Mathieu Dandenault on stopping Olli Jokinen, how he's enjoying the scenery playing forward, and the importance of backchecking – lest he hear it from the Habs defencemen. Clip runs 4:46.
