    That was a brutal, scary period that ended really well. 
     

    Habs have missed so many prime chances. 
     

    Very happy and fortunate to be up 3-1

     

    The extra pass was hurting us in the O zone, and those soft passes/clear attempts were hurting us in the D zone.  If they clean both of those issues up, maybe we can get a 3rd period that doesn't give us all an ulcer.

    Slaf has a specific role on the first line and on PP1 and its one that Demidov can't do.  Its to win battles on the boards and retrieve loose pucks. 

     

    So are you taking off Caufield or Laine on PP1?

     

     

     

    I'm seriously thinking about Laine, but I'm fine getting Slaf off of there so board battles are not as important when we maintain possession by moving around.  I want to see Hutson and Demidov holding it, looking like menaces to cut into the middle and causing chaos for the defenders.

    21 shots vs the Hawks, dont think i would bet much that Habs would put up much of a fight vs the Caps, if make playoffs.

     

    That's what I'm thinking after watching these past 3 games.  Before that, I was gung-ho to take a shot at playoff tickets.  Now, I see we are really not quite 'there' yet, and the lack of a 2C and at least one upgrade on the blueline is still needed before we can really expect to compete with good teams.  I think that if they do squeak in, I will save my money for next season.

    No offense but Slaf needs to get his head out of his ass. 
     

    When he’s on he’s great. 
     

    But when he’s off he’s absolutely brutal. 

     

    I think the arrival of Demidov is going to create internal competition for the RW1 position, and that's a good thing.  Slaf needs a kick in the ass to bring maximum effort more consistently, and knowing he has to earn his position night in and night out should do that.  Demidov also has something to chase...this should make both players better in a shorter timeframe.
