We pretty much had double the layoff they did. I expected this and I'm happy with the lead.

Yea Therrien is really impressing the **** out of me I don't know how that period could have gone more perfect than that obvious we would be sluggish for the start

Wrong. He's the only on his line giving a ****. He backchecked and stole a puck from Bergeron and he beat Iginla. I've been harsh on the smurf this year, but even I can see he's not "scared".

Not a bad start! However, I have to pace myself. Already a nervous wreck after 20 minutes!
Really liked what Ken Dryden said about this series in the Wall Street Journal:
"For the Canadiens to win, there may need to be a changing of the guard. Chara is 37, Subban 24. If the Canadiens can avoid being run over by the bigger Bruins; if they can continue to look quick, not small, they may make an older Chara look less overwhelming.
Every great competitor needs a great opponent. Ali needed Frazier; Nicklaus needed Palmer; Federer needs Nadal. Each forces the best out of the other. The Canadiens need the Bruins, and the Bruins need the Canadiens. Each will put the other to the test."

Vanek had a slow start.
Foolish to start wanting to blow up the lines. He will get into form soon enough.

Can't say much after one period and a long lay off.....Habs played a smart period 1...They never came out and tryed to bang or scrum with the Bruins.... Sat back waited for a penalty and scored.
Let's watch next few games.
Vanek and Pacioretty need to get moving, they seem like they are watching and desharnais is the only one working.

Yeah, all said and done, that was a great first period. I expected a brutal 10 min or so, but no such thing. An edge to the bruins for sure, but we were never dominated.
Great. Let's pick apart all the Habs then. Only Subban scored a goal.
Start a new DD bashing thread. We need another one.

The way Ellers line is dominating everyone, give them the shutdown role. Theyll keep the puck pinned down low anyway.
