ECF-Game 2-Rangers at Canadiens


Recommended Posts

2 of them was close to Subban. Gorges should go to Nash.

Puck was posessed by the left winger. Subban covered him. If Gorges abandons the centre and allows him to take the middle of the ice, just to cover Nash on the right side, that would be insane.

Exactly.

That was a tough way to end the period but I liked the period as a whole from the Habs. If they play like that for the 2nd/3rd, they'll be fine.

Galchenyuk not surprisingly is being eased back in, he played just 2:25 in the 1st. I suspect as the game progresses, he'll see more regular time.

they need to get Vanek and Galchenyuk away from Pleks. that line isn't working. Give them a go with Briere.

That was an absolutely amateur-hour call on Galchenyuk, but the fact is the Habs have taken too many stupid penalties. Subban's in particular was outright moronic and not something we'd have seen in the earlier series. I think what we're seeing here is a team on which a significant number of players no longer really believe they can win and are therefore no longer playing with the iron discipline they need. That Nash goal was a real killer. We're done.

Agreed on the Nash goal, but the guys were coming back before that bogus penalty. That could have been a series ending bad call.

Cherry was rippin' Vanek, saying his head is in Minnesota.

With Price in goal we win this game.


Unreal call on the hagelin dive.
Vanek sucks. Don't want him

Vanek really does suck. Lots of skill, no balls.

Vanek has shown himself to be a weathervane player - he lists as the team does, instead of taking charge when he has to. A good choice for teams without a lot of playoff expectations, or else a stacked team looking for that extra element. Minny is neither, but that won't stop Vanek from getting a stupid offer.

Torontohab, the bottom line is the Habs put themselves in a corner. First they fell asleep in Game One and thus turned this into a must-win. Then with Price hurt, they took a number of unnecessary, momentum-killing penalties. Heck, if they'd won the first game, we'd all be upset at this game tonight, but it'd remain a matter of making adjustments (including in net) and crossing our fingers. Now, the series is over in five games, max.

Pretty frustrating, but that's the playoffs for you.

Vanek has been passing when he should be shooting too much. But he has ZERO chemistry with Pleks. We got Briere for the playoffs (a move i hated!!). But we may as well give him a chance with Galchenyuk and Vanek, to earn his $4m.


This PP is the last chance to get back in the game.

The team has hit the limit of its will to win. With the loss of Carey Price - the key man on the roster and clearly a team leader - we needed a bit of luck, to be rewarded for our superior play. When, instead, things broke the other way, it was over.
