[Boardish]

[beowulf]

PP time go Habs go

 

[Adamcrazy3]

Karlsson super NHL.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Galchenyuk seen the ice yet?

yes.

 

[Church]

Pacioretty still looks not 100%... you can see it in his stride...

 

[No More Subban]

its pageau time

 

[OpenIceHit]

Wow!! The captain is hittng and playing like a power forward!!

 

[beowulf]

We are WAY too fast.

I am old enough to remember Russ Courtnall, that he was WAY too fast! Dude would over skate the puck all the time!

 

[sharks9]

Shots are 15-4, total domination so far

 

[Capitaine Subban*]

A PP goal would be very good to maintain the momentum.

 

[Harpo]

Can anyone smell the weak Sens goal, lost of momentum, dominating Anderson and eventual loss?

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Thanks Karlsson you are Da Man !

 

[Lions999]

Chuckie line looks pretty good but they need to play a little more to show something

 

[sheed36]

yes.

Ok.. Must've been on when I left the room.

 

[NobleSix]

Honestly, this is the habs from the beginning of the season.

Yup. Too much passiveness lately. Glad they are getting back to their aggressive forecheck and puck possession. I noticed the were using the dump and chase a lot more since the Price and Gallagher injuries.

Hopefully we can grab some momentum on this PP.

No, Habs are 100% winning this one.

 

[beowulf]

OMG so close.

 

[No More Subban]

If Pageau scores another shorty.......

 

[sharks9]

So close!

 

[beowulf]

Got to break this 0-12, would be a perfect time.

 

[sheed36]

Is Weise really the best option the Habs have to play on the PP?

 

[sharks9]

Subban was great there!

 

[beowulf]

Some amazing pressure...got to pop it in.

 

[Hab-a-maniac]

This losing streak is mostly due to an inability to finish. They just need a few bounces to get their offensive confidence back.

The concern to me isn't the forwards production of chances. Sure the top guys have been AWOL lately, but to me it's a positive we're not getting shut out or held to 1 with 20-25 SOG in these games. There's unsung heroes chipping in, even if it hasn't been enough to win. Our depth is much improved from years before. And there's more on the way we've yet to see (McCarron, Ellis have yet to get called up then hopefully Scherbak, Bozon, Lehkonen and Reway arrive someday with similar promise to Hudon, Carr, Ghetto, etc.).

We actually have 4th line offence and AHL callups who can pot goals basically. So when the top guys find their touch again, the scoring will come too. What worries me more is the reliance on Price to make all the miraculous saves. Tokarski and Condon have been fine so far IMO. Our D corps has gotten worse as the season's progressed. Our possession game is a strong suit but we still give up far too many golden chances and committ far too many giveaways on the back end.

TVA with the Subban's clock...
