Who’s that? I switched over to the football game.
Habs dominated the first period in all aspects other than goals. Lots of Chicken Little, “sky is falling” posts here.
Habs out shot them, and outplayed them. Just didn’t finish. The Rangers got a one in a thousand fluke bounce, and a bad giveaway from Xhekaj. It happens, especially on a rebuilding team on a back to back night stretch.
Newhook reminds me of Nail Yakupov. He’s out there flying around but seems to be going nowhere fast. And doesn’t seem to know what to do when he does get to where he wants to be. Lot of tools but not much of a toolbox.
Great tip by Gallagher. Nice to see him get one. Nobody works harder out there.
The top line was buzzing most of the period. Several high quality chances. Their luck will change.
I think we will see Xhekaj and Rempe drop the gloves this period. I hope Xhekaj is able to take him down but I don’t like the matchup stylistically.
