Sir_Boagalott Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 C'mon Cuafield!! What are they doing? Its like they kept moving out of every potential shooting lane, and right before it was about to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Watching our future core pass the puck around on the PP was fun 🤩 Hey coach! KK and Caufield look good together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Staal with the best chance yet. Edmundson just tossed a Leaf on his back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hmm, who just flipped the puck? Was it Evans? Too bad he flipped it straight up in the air vs down ice. Hopefully he'll figure that part out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was big boy Simmonds and it pissed him off 😝 I agree with Commandant that we can take these guys with a full Tatar and Gallagher.

Allen doesn't get the same treatment. As for fewer softies per game than Price, I don't even know how you measure that.... and the fact you bring it up as if its a stat that exists, just proves my point on the bias. Recently, (the last 3 years) I feel like the criticism is justified. You want 10 million? Here it is no go Earn it. Don't earn it?

Price rarely plays five great games in a row... maybe the last time he did that was the bubble last year. Allen doesn't get the same treatment for the above mentioned cap reasons. As for softies per game, we've all watched both goalies this season and can remember Carey crapping the bed way more often than Allen. The numbers bear this out. I think the bias point works the other way, where Carey will have a decent game stopping say 28 of 30 shots with a few nice saves (and no softies for a change) and we talk with hushed tones of his truly special elite talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little distance would have been better but the idea made sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 @dlbalr Thx, thats who I thought but I wasnt sure. I want to see them start flipping the puck down the ice. The Habs score a lot on the rush but teams know this and pressure them and cut off their long passes. Flipping the puck in the air to get the puck up ice circumvents traps because isn't a pass that they can prevent. It will create rushes and generate scoring chances.
