Weber should have moved in a bit and then over. i.e. put himself in a position that opens up a passing lane with the puck carrier that was in the right corner behind the goal line. I’d say more if a fail. Let’s just go with 5 forwards. Gustafson is not a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As dlbalr already pointed out, need the top six to chip in, too bad 22 just got post. 17 shots in 1st, awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 That was a good response after the second goal at least. They're in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Excellent analysis from Bieksa - the Habs’ propensity to collapse down low, which has been so successful all playoff, is inadvertently leaving huge openings for the Tampa D. We had the same difficulty against Vegas, but TB’s D are significantly more dangerous. When you think about it, Toronto’s D is not that threatening and neither is Winnipeg’s. VGK was a marked step up but we hung on and won. Now, finally, we are up against a truly powerful defence corps. That goes a fair way to explaining the results so far. In that sense, TB is a terrible matchup for us and our game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvvrob Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Habs are coming back for the win tonight. They look good. also, not only do they have DD back behind the bench, but Richardson can focus on the D matchups. This is going to pay off by the 3rd period.

alfredoh2009 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 IMHO linear plays to the net and off the rush plays seems to catch Vasileski off He seems to be really on plays down low or from behind the net he also seems so big on plays froms close that I am it sure tips would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, while I get tired of his backwards passes in the neutral zone on the PP, Gustaffson *did* keep the puck moving on that man advantage. I think we have forgotten how comically static the PP was before he was inserted into the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have forgotten how comically static the PP was before he was inserted into the lineup. Most of the defencemen do the drop passes, not just Gustafsson. They're just one of the teams that likes to use that play a lot. I actually liked his shot on the power play, low and through the screen looking for a rebound opportunity. The Habs need more point shots like that, not just unscreened slappers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
