Amazing kill.

 

Drouin remains on PP1 after doing what he has done...really?  I'm all aboard the fire Julien bandwagon now for issuing Drouin the french get out of jail free card.

Weise is so in effective. He doesn't even want the Fn puck. I get the thought process if this was a crash and bang team are facing, but it's not!  Evans needs to dress period.

Evans for Dale, ill take that switch.

Well, so far this is playing out exactly according to the ‘playoff upset’ instruction manual 👍 Get outchanced and outshot, get superb netminding, get opportunistic scoring...and maybe, just maybe, get the W.

 

This despite a barrage of dumb penalties from our supposedly savvy vets 🙄

Call it old school but it’s bot a bad idea having a body like Weise in order to protect the more diminutive Weal and Domi. Poehling is the other who could bring in some sand paper but I’m not sure he’s as effective in that role... and yes I use the term effective loosely.

id give hudon a shot.  He was scoring goals in the AHL.  He might bury one of domi's passes. 

 

Think a concern is that "his man" would get many more scoring chances than he would ... but Evans would IMO bring much more to the table than Weise ... and be available for faceoffs too (51.8% in his short stint with habs this season)

Can someone explain how Sheary got a penalty shot?  The hook would be a weak call the best of times, but doesn’t the infraction have to take away the scoring chance to warrant a penalty shot?  I saw absolutely nothing that took away a scoring chance other than Sheary just not shooting.

Weise isnt protecting sh*t... Domi clearly can handle himself, probably more so then Weise.

Key is consistency ... set a standard and call everything the same

Great work by the penalty kill that period.  And what a 'playoff' debut for Suzuki so far.

What a playoff debut indeed. Getting the call on the 5on3... his penalty killing has been superb

You’re right. It’s more likely that there’s absolutely zero reason.
