BCHabnut Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 That was tense. Vegas can just take over a game. Holy crap. Their defense are putting up the points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 I think the next 2 games are going to be different. No crowd for Vegas to get fired up, an atmosphere they aren’t used to. If the Habs can win the next game to go up 2-1, I would be worried if I were Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 No powerplays for the Habs is a bit sketchy on the surface, but they did nothing in the third to force Vegas to defend with desperation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs are something like 60% on the faceoffs, but Vegas has this set play worked out. It seems like they have several set plays. ex: their breakouts are often: do a short pass to a nearby linemate and then take off up the ice and receive another short pass back, but they're now 10-15' further up ice. 3 minutes ago, Habsfan said: Lucky to win this game.

dlbalr Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Two stats of interest: 1) Suzuki has won 7/10 defensive faceoffs in the series. The three losses have all resulted in goals. 2) Vegas' D had more shots than their forwards tonight, 17-14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a set play from a faceoff, so it’s easier to anticipate than an attack across the blue line. But all five players need to know it’s coming, need to know their roles and then follow those roles in order to prevent a high-danger scoring chance. I do expect for Ducharme to be working on this tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronthab Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Whew! Quite a game. But what a wonderful thing that we won!. Carey was a wonder. And critical to have Petry back. His dishing was exceptional. And little Suzuki ran like a Japanese import. Excellent play. Nail biter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 9 wins down and at least 3 more games, Perry & Staal made a good choice it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Vegas are so freaking dirty and the refs are useless. Price was great again but he probably wants at least the last goal back We need Romanov, our D are getting physically destroyed. Sit Merrill and let the Russian bear loose. Caufield is going to be great for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurdBurglar Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 The last 2 games were almost copies of each other. Habs came out strong in the first and Vegas took over from the second on. Vegas is dangerous off the face offs, as 4 of their 5 goals this series are from the face offs. That’s from an outside perspective. What isn’t so apparent is Habs are doing a great job defensively. Game 1 they had problems breaking out. Game 2 it wasn’t nearly as bad, clear sign of adjustment. The number of rush chances were lower in game 2. Habs are winning more draws vs Vegas, which is odd as they were one one the worse in the playoffs up to this point at winning draws. it’s been pointed out here already, Habs need to not lose the draws cleanly in their own zone. They aren’t being punished for losing draws, just losing them cleanly. Centre needs to tie up other centre and make every defensive zone draw a scramble draws, inside winger helps with draw and outside winger gets out into the shooting lane of his defenseman. That should negate nearly all the danger from the lost draw goals. Which as of now is 80% of Vegas’ offense. Habs are showing they can defend them, thanks to Price, so if they can clean that next aspect up, Vegas may be in trouble. Sorry for the long post.

And I think Danault (who has also dominated faceoffs in this series) has also seen a goal scored from one of the face-off set pieces. Given that we'll never in 100% of the faceoffs, how does one defend against those effectively? Do the wingers need to be gunning for the Vegas D-men as soon as the puck is dropped? Blocking the lanes just results in heavy traffic and lack of visibility for Price, as we sa on the first Vegas goal last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
