Team is tired and just played in Ottawa yesterday morning. Two road early starts in Back2Back is brutal. Some days its just harder to dial in.
But deserves to be said this is a big game in Montreal, its McD day and lots of excitement in the big bell Center with over 21K fans eating it up. Gotta hand it to Montreal and their fans. MSL deserves lots of credit too for how the Habs are playing.
Sometimes its fair to credit an opponent for being jacked to play against you. Game still not over and Oilers are in this.
