  2. TUESDAY, APRIL 18TH: HABS VS RANGERS GAME 4 ROUND 1 PLAYOFFS GAME DAY MONTREAL CANADIENS Max Pacioretty - Phillip Danault - Alexander Radulov Paul Byron - Tomas Plekanec - Brendan Gallagher Artturi Lehkonen - Alex Galchenyuk - Andrew Shaw Dwight King - Steve Ott - Torrey Mitchell Andrei Markov - Shea Weber Jordie Benn - Jeff Petry Nathan Beaulieu - Brandon Davidson PRICE Montoya NEW YORK RANGERS Jimmy Vesey- Derek Stepan - Rick Nash Chris Kreider - Mika Zibanejad - Pavel Buchnevich J.T. Miller - Kevin Hayes - Mats Zuccarello Oscar Lindberg -Jesper Fast - Michael Grabner Ryan McDonagh -Dan Girardi Marc Staal - Nick Holden Brady Skjei - Brendan Smith LUNDQVIST Raanta SERIES RECAP Game 1: New York 2 (Empty Net Goal) – 0 Montreal Unlikely hero Tanner Glass scores the game winner with a backhand top corner Grabner seals the deal late with an empty net goal Game 2: Montreal 4 – 3 New York (Overtime) Habs go up 2-1 in the first period only to lose the lead later in the game Plekanec ties the game up with less than 25 seconds in regulation and Radulov seals the deal late in the first overtime The Habs’ 58 shots were the most the New York Rangers have ever allowed in a playoff game. Thank you Bell Center shot counter bias Game 3: Montreal 3 – 1 New York Montreal takes it to the Rangers early but Lundqvist plays stellar and looks like he might be intent on stealing the game Habs continue to control much of the play but the checking is extremely tight It felt like the Habs simply needed a power play in order to get a little more room on the ice Just as the doctor ordered, the Habs were given their first opportunity on the power play late in the second period and Lehkonen made no mistake scoring the first goal of the game from the slot off of a set play from Plekanec and Gallagher. Shea Weber would score another powerplay goal off a nice feed from Galchenyuk in the third to put the Habs up 2-0 and Radulov would later pot a candidate for goal of the playoffs with only one hand on the stick to close the curtains on the Rangers’ hopes. Brady Skjei would score a late goal for the Rangers to end Carey Price’s shutout hopes but it would be the final goal of the game with the end result being Montreal 3 – 1 New York SERIES STATISTICS SOG MONTREAL 31+58+29= 118 SHOTS ON GOAL (39.33 PER GAME) NEW YORK 31+38+21=90 SHOTS ON GOAL (30 PER GAME) SPECIAL TEAMS MONTREAL PP 0/3 + 0/4 + 2/3 = 2/10 NEW YORK PP 0/4 + 0/3 +0/3 = 0/10 MONTREAL PK 4/4 + 3/3 + 3/3 = 10/10 NEW YORK PK 3/3 + 4/4 + 1/3 = 8/10 PENALTY MINUTES MONTREAL 13+20+6 = 39 PIM NEW YORK 15+8+6 = 29 PIM HITS MONTREAL 53 + 55 + 31 = 139 HITS (46.33 PER GAME) NEW YORK 45 + 73 + 41 = 159 HITS (53 PER GAME) TEAM LEADERS MONTREAL Goals: Radulov (2) Assists: Radulov (3) Points: Radulov (5) Penalty Minutes: Markov (10) Shots: Pacioretty (17) Hits: Byron (16) Time of Ice: Weber (28:36) NEW YORK Goals: Grabner (2) Assists: Stepan (1), Fast (1), Smith (1), Vesey (1), Lindberg (1), Klein (1), Zibanejad (1), Holden (1) Points: Grabner (2) Penalty Minutes: Zucarello (12) Shots: Rick Nash (10) Hits: Skjei (17) Time of Ice: McDonagh (26:40) GOALIES Carey Price 2-1 89 shots 84 saves .944 1.53 Henrik Lundqvist 1-2 118 shots 111 saves .941 2.16 1 shutout KEYS TO THE WIN FOR NEW YORK Can New York finally find some life at home?

  6. As someone who has watched more Preds hockey than Habs hockey this season and all three Preds/Blackhawks games, it boils down to this: - Subban doesn't look 100% yet. He looks slow compared to the rest of the Predators skaters. His passes don't have the same sizzle so the long ice passes either get picked or missed. - He's doing the one job he rarely gets credit for and it's the one job Lavi loves him the most for: shadowing. He's been shadowing Toews for the past three games and has almost completely shut him down and neutralized him. His defensive play has been great. For defensive play, he's the best of the Predators. - He's still eating up a lot of minutes on the PP and has elevated Ekholm's play. Josi and Ellis have been great as well. The Predators have a true top four. There is no first pair or second pair. - The biggest point? He doesn't need to make the highlight reel play. the Predators don't rely on Subban to make things happen the way Montreal did. He doesn't have to look down the roster and realize if he isn't carrying the offence, nobody will. - That said, Predators have controlled 77.5% of the scoring chances when Subban is on the ice. His relative corsi is 7th best in the playoffs. Basically he's a team player now because he's playing for a team. If the Preds were down 2-0 going into Nashville, I think we would have seen the highlight-reel Subban. All season long I've seen examples of that Subban come out for better or worse (it was ugly earlier in the year when he was first coming back and looked mighty rusty) but it usually happens when the Predators players are asleep and someone has to come in to bring the noise. If the Predators play the Blues next round and Rinne isn't at the top of his game, I think we will see "Playoff Subban" emerge. But his play has been excellent. It's not the PK Subban I fell in love with, but when you got guys like Kevin Fiala and Arvidsson who bring tons of flash up front, you don't really miss it either.

  7. But that doesn't support Don's narrative that subban is a useless cancer and a Primma Donna that a winning club would want

  8. With the way Subban has been playing it led me to wonder about his time in Montreal and the relationship he had with the coaching staff. I agree that it looks like something is different in Nashville and it's likely for one of the following reasons. 1) Therrien gave Subban a longer leash than most think 2) Subban had no respect for Therrien 3) Laviolette has him playing a specific role 4) The trade had a mental impact on him and made him feel as though he needed to play a different way 5) He's playing through and still recovering from injuries I think the Preds do have a more skill throughout their lineup than the Habs. I believe Subban would still stand out on the Habs more than he does on Nashville, both positively and negatively. Maybe the kid just tried too hard as a Hab as well. Nothing wrong with that.
