Mods: Do we know who or how many changed their votes from "No" to "Yes"?
Changed votes don't appear onscreen, however all voters will get a visit from HF Security Enforcement after the poll closes, inquiring whether or not your vote was changed.

I strongly suggest answering honestly. A few people didn't. We miss them.

Why did the offense disappear?
It's more "where is the defense?": 4 goals against in each of their last 4 games/losses, Habs defense let in way too many high danger chances again.

The oppositions has adapted to the Habs dzone play and a few too many vets are giving in a weaker effort or playing too much/are too tired. That impact both the Habs defense and offense.

And it seems that losing Heineman had a bigger impact than expected, but losing a guy playing 11-10 minutes shouldn't be... And now Guhle is injured, that one means more Matheson and Habs won't win anyting with more Matheson.
 
Why did the offense disappear?

Our offense was firing when all 4 lines were able to contribute. Losing Heineman was the first step in things falling apart. Suddenly you have only 3 lines with the 2nd line that only shows up some nights and rarely with all 3 playing a good game at the same time.

Then the powerplays have started to dry up and when they got the PPs, two things happened:
1. MSL started taking the first unit off after 1 minute, which means you are only geting half a PP.
2. Teams are taking away Laine, and there isn't an answer so far for what they want to do without that shot being there. Slaf found Caufield in the bumper last night which is a good start, but Slaf also needs to shoot and take it to the net which he doesn't want to do.

But shouldn't teams taking away Laine's space on the PP actually help by opening up space for the other players?
