They are all about carrying the puck into the zone now. It's beautiful.

No more ariel passes or chipping it off the glass.

 

[chaosrevolver]

They will get used to the style..but I love it so far.

 

[Mrb1p]

Galchenyuk back on the first line, already three good chances.

 

[bleuetbio]

I realy dont like to see Pacioretty with Chucky. Pacman is probably the 2nd hottest shooter in the league and we all know that the Chucky will take a bunch himself. These guys should be separate

 

[Redux91]

That plekanec line tho.. ugh

a finished center with two undersized wingers

itll hurt us

I agree, but right now Julien is rebuild their confidence.
They'll get split up once we get rolling.

No dumping it in, they're carrying it in. They're tenacious as hell on faceoffs that they lose to get possession back and they're not afraid to hound a puck carrier to get possession rather than back off and let them get through the neutral zone. Those, along with the D supporting the offense more are the four big changes I already notice in the first 5 minutes.

 

[Tyson]

One practice in a week. New coach. I think they actually look decent. Expected a lot of out of synch play. Still a tad rusty. They should improve as they go.

I dont really see it that way, you have a triple threat line so that leaves the 2 other players more open since they have to show more attention to the puck carrier. it's a good line and may give Radu, Chucky or Max more space to make plays

 

[1UP]

I see lotsa compete but jitters.

If they can start shooting at the net, chances are going to happen.

 

[ijuka]

This looks very active and ambitious to me. There will likely be growing pains as they adapt to this system, but I think that the outcome will be a very enjoyable and effective product! Hopefully getting there won't take too long, you can clearly see that they're not entirely used to playing in this way.

Still think Danault and Pac should be playing together until we find another playmaking center for Pac. Rads and Chuck need to be fixtures together.

Good call

**** was i ever sick of therrien

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Price looking solid

 

[lou4gehrig]

You can see they were a little tenative entering the zone since they're so used to the stupid chip and chase.

 

[Mrb1p]

Price with a potato in the slot

 

[lou4gehrig]

Price looking solid

So pretty much he was tanking to get MT fired. Love it.

 

[Tyson]

Good start for Price.

The problem is that both benefit from Radulov

Pacioretty can make do with Danault, but if you can combine the three and leave them together long enough for them to form chemistry, it can create a dynamite line, albeit at the risk of making it a one-line team.

 

[Tyson]

I wish the Habs had a player like Adam Lowry. Good player

 

[lou4gehrig]

McCarron IS centering the 4th line.

 

[Mrb1p]

I wish the Habs had a player like Adam Lowry. Good player

 

[Chili]

was that Nesterov being schooled or is Ryan Johnston back?

 

[didimentionlarseller]

I'm really interested to see how we play in close 1 goal games now or when we are protecting a 1 goal lead late thats where Julien should really hopefully change it up from Therrien

im liking the change in transition play already
