The key, therefore, is to break that goose-egg. Make them play our game rather than the reverse. First goal has won every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Philly goes up, they lock it down, we get shut out. We go up, Philly opens up, and we score a bunch. That's been the pattern for the series - no reason to think it won't apply in Game Six.

By that time the game had opened up already, and we tied it up almost immediately. So I think the theory makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAC Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 First team to score has won every game so its safe to say that the first goal is crucial tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Drouin - Suzuki - Armia Tatar - Kotkaniemi - Domi Byron - Danault - Lehkonen Hudon - Evans - Weal Would be how I'd line em up with this injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 A reminder that the KK hit was 5 minutes and a game misconduct, and the Niskanen crosscheck on Gallagher hit wasn't even a penalty. Chris Lee can go f himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a rage I haven't felt from hockey since I tried to take my skate off and stab a guy.

Generally, coaches don't come out in a press conference and talk about how dirty the play committed by his own player was and encourage the league to suspend him. Of course he was going to try to spin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Looking forward ... Habs are 1-2 "on the road "and 2-0 "at home" ... even with no fans the regular season trend carried over I said before the game that I thought the Habs would come out flying and win last night, but not be able to match it in Game 6 ... Gallagher injury may give them a bump tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with that... they were great Drouin Suzy Armia Tatar KK Domi Hudon Danault Lehk Byron Evans Poehling I can't see Weal having an impact so why not the un known of Poehling? Hes bigger faster and assuming way more hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 We need to find a way to generate offence. I think there is more chance of Weal getting a goal or an assist, than there is of Poehling. Taking away our best forward isn't going to help the offence, and no one is going to replace Gally, but I think Weal has a better shot of contributing to a goal than Poehling. Poehling is better defensively, but I'm not worried about our defensive game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 We should stop requesting that Poehling play. He’s obviously low on the depth chart right now, and there are better options ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Weal has shown an ability to win PP faceoffs ... a boost to any PP ... he, Danault and Domi were the only Habs centres over 50% on the PP this season.

sbhatt Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Niskanen only got one game. If the penalty is that light, maybe taking out a top line Flyer makes tactical sense. NHL drops the ball as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx..CK..xXx Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I’m not sure why they have to make a decision that’s arguable. It should have been 2 or 3 games. 2 games is the amount no one can argue. Either he’s out for the rest of this series, or this series and the first game of next round. This way he’s either out for the rest of this series, or he comes back for 1 game (7) whereas Gallagher will not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
