STANLEY CUP FINALS: Game 1 - Montreal Canadiens @ Tampa Bay Lightning

[Commandant]

I'm ok with that first period.  We can play with them.

 

Cernak can do that 100 times and he wont put it perfect in the top corner again.

[BCHabnut]

I'm as nervous as cat in room full o rocking chairs

[Habsfan89]

Oh man left side Stamkos one timers right side Kucherov we're dead if we take 5 on 3 PP with this team.

Thats a penalty?

That was a joke. Gallagher gets 100x that every friggin shift.

I agree. Price gets that 98 out of 100 times.

 

We've looked a lot worse although that PP setup with Tampa does look pretty extreme.

I wish Dom was with the team to make the adjustments

 

I do now know how good Richardson is in doing that

 

Seema TBL are on top Habs players when they get a pass and kill plays that way

 

Habs are not driving the net or shooting from up close 

[Neech]

Not a bad period, Price got beat on a perfect tip.  That TB PP looks scary though

[BCHabnut]

Be nice if danault line scored early. Mess with Cooper's matchup

Just scared me to see this being 1st call and pretty weak at best; but i can see Chiarot being called, Habs had a PP (we know it 'shouldnt' be a factor but) and looked like he cross checked him, in real time.

 

Anyways, just 1-0 and playing 'ok'. But, just 5 shots? Hit the net!

[Toronthab]

Penalty calls heavily favor TB if they call tight.

Need to get in closer ...

We almost got burnt on our PP by Gustafson

Tampa just stifled the islanders… they are a very good defensive team who have enough talent to score while playing a tight checking game… there won’t bE a lot of room out there..

Depends if there is still the unwritten rule that you can only call 1 penalty for every 100 infractions on Gallagher.

[Sir_Boagalott]

Damn, Chiarot hits the post.  

[Commandant]

Post

 

and then 

 

CAREY

[BCHabnut]

2-0

[brobin]

Ugh…. I honestly see no chance the habs are getting three goals….🙁

It's a long series. They won a shift. Win another one. Get a goal. Get a hit. Get a hit. Get a hit. Get a hit. Repeat.

[BCHabnut]

Boys better adjust here. Holy shnikeys

[BCHabnut]

Is this thing on?

[The Chicoutimi Cucumber]

Price doing what He can.

 

The guys need to score

[Commandant]

Gotta keep playing.

 

So far tampa has gotten some bounces, but keep playing

 

We lost game 1 to vegas badly.

[brobin]

They really have had no pressure on Tampa at all..a few good breaks but facing a price like goalie… they need more chances and more traffic… 

 

they need something good to happen…

[The Chicoutimi Cucumber]

I like that Weber and Petry look more comfortable shooting tonight
