It's a W but idk this team is still frustrating me. I know the Habs aren't great but I'm just like, why...
We allowed only 13 shots? That never happens. I mean, it's just too close for comfort. I hate ragging on a win but the team has no identity.

Complaining about winning a game and outshooting the opponent 28 to 13? People will complain about anything.
Question; last year when I watched Maccelli I was sure the guy will be an absolute top player, now he isn't getting icetime, what happened?
I think he needs better linemates, but he doesn't generally create all by himself, so if they can't handle the puck long enough nor get open, he gets swarmed. He's nothing special on defense so he might be getting saddled with more defensive guys as a result.
He's not surpassing Keller, Cooley, Guenther on the top 2 line wings. Maybe gets a shot with Schmaltz not scoring yet, but Schmaltz is superior at zone entry, so I think Maccelli is relegated to 3rd line.
Perhaps when we roll 3 full scoring lines he can shine. I think the league in general is going that direction so he may get his turn eventually.
He also doesn't penalty kill and aside from this game, they've been racking up the penalty minutes, a lot and often.
Game was a good one. They have improved the power play significantly, but it still needs some more work. You can see the progress. Montreal was really good at closing up shooting lanes and still defending the pass. I hope they can take something from that, because it was impressive. They still could beat it if they were a hair quicker though, but that's what happens when you're 5 versus 4.
They cut back on penalties too. I think Lamoureux is playing well. He probably isn't getting the benefit of the doubt either because he is so big and he's a rookie. I'm sure he was talked to about it, but he's also solidly in the starting defensive core and should continue.
Dominic Moore is great as an analyst. It's good to actually get some analysis on the broadcast that isn't something overly obvious or too simple. He'll get into Guenther positioning and pass timings on the powerplay and then have to explain the delay of game for a defensive puck over the glass, which is funny how he has adapt his performance to a wide audience.
