It's pretty much unstoppable, as is the Fulton Reed clapper from the point. Luckily Goldberg is a sieve in net so I think they just need to throw a bunch of shots on goal and they should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're experimenting him at centre no less which is a bit odd. I don't think they want Danault on that unit. How many goals does Byron score from within a few feet? Whether it's his breakaways or putting home loose rebounds, it seems like almost all of his goals are from in close. Nice to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher is a total headcase right now that can't handle playing at the level of a 3rd line winger...so to remedy that, add to his responsibilities by putting him at center? Yup, sounds like MT logic to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The PP is so bad it's embarrassing. Ducks are handing us opportunities and we are squandering them. Maybe time for MT to make a statement and play 3rd and 4th line players exclusively on this upcoming PP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Someone take an immediate penalty and make it 4 on 4. We'd have a better chance of scoring, and probably a better chance of not being scored on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I've liked Gallagher's game tonight. He hasn't played well recently, but I thought he's been good tonight. Lack of being able to execute a proper zone entry is killing their PP right now, not Gallagher IMO. Need a guy like Galchenyuk who was great at gaining the zone.

sbhatt Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 PLEX! And of course offensive superstar Paul Byron is in on the action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have liked that Gallagher has been back to effective agitating, but he is still handling the puck like a grenade and making questionable decisions when playing it, with positioning, ect. I am hoping that getting his pest on effectively drives the rest of his game...would be great to get him back to being himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Its only a second assist... but the man who made that goal happen was Arturri Lehkonen... great, great play to shield off the defender, get the loose puck and make a play with it. .

illWill Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Two of the worst power plays you can imagine back to back but yet it somehow produced a goal....a Plekanec one-time goal at that. Go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even weird when you consider how inept the Habs are at gaining the zone right now, you'd think winning that faceoff would be paramount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even weird when you consider how inept the Habs are at gaining the zone right now, you'd think winning that faceoff would be paramount. That's my biggest concern with this plan. I get the logic behind the move (a right hand shot, used to playing in front of the net and scoring from in tight not to mention getting one might get some confidence) but Gallagher is consistently bad at faceoffs, even for a winger. I'd be inclined to try Flynn. Not only is he their best faceoff guy, he's on a bit of a good run offensively so maybe try to catch lightning in a bottle there. Great period defensively from the Habs. They've picked up where they left off on Saturday in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Big PK upcoming for the Habs to start the 3rd as Mitchell got a roughing minor at the end of the period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Let the Habs powerplay be an inspiration to all us single dudes out there... It ain't much to look at, but still sometimes finds a way to score. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
