Most of our players had neither.
Newhook was our most dangerous player last night and he had the Senators defense on their heels as they had to respect Newhook’s great speed. More importantly, he displayed a high level of energy on a team that shockingly lacked the same in what could have been a clinching game. Newhook drove the play, he created scoring chances, he didn’t take a shift off and he was noticeable.
If the other Canadiens players would have showed an equal level of fire and drive, we would all be celebrating our securing of a playoff spot rather than the wringing of hands that you read here and the desperate suggestion that we should be throwing in an untested 19 year old into the fire to spark our suddenly dispirited team.
Newhook is the least of our problems.
