Sir_Boagalott Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Hmm, that was an interesting point the commentator said at the start of the last period. Before this game, the Habs had only had the lead this year for under 2 mins. They didn't mention this effect of that though: when playing from behind, it forces you to take chances, and that often leads to mistakes and even more goals against. They're certainly playing a lot better with the lead. The Habs really need to stop doing the dump and chase in favour driving the play forward and passing back n forth. They are way too fast and talented to play the dump and chase style. This game is totally different and a huge part of that is they're passing back n forth and driving the play forward.

sbhatt Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 This is a nice change of pace. Hopefully they keep trying to score and bust a few more slumps in the 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing how the offence produces when a dman can actually start the transition with a crisp pass. -who would have thought the D can drive the offence🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Niku played well and even had a good scoring chance. Well, I feel silly. Before the game started I was almost worried that Zadina would get a hattrick. It had been that kind of year so far. Great to see the Habs finally have something other than bad luck.

tomh009 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Perreault and Niku, two more Jets cast-offs. Most of us weren't expecting much from them, but could there be some real value in those two yet? This team still needs time to gel, but this game was a big step in the right direction.

Agreed I liked Niku more than Wideman in previous games. I loved Perreault’s game, when healthy, he is a solid 3C. I hope Caufield finds his game on that line the team play was better, execution was much quicker this game. But PK still needs work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 PK suffered from Evans' FO losses; he will need to be working on those. Otherwise the PK personnel are not so much different from last year, Danault is missing, but the combination of Evans, Lehkonen, Armia and Toffoli should be capable. Need to win faceoffs and then work on improving the PK overall. The personnel should be good enough to get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree that Perreault could be an real high value pickup - considering the $950K he gets paid. In the last few seasons his stats have gone down, but his career high for goals is 18 - and he's done that twice, and in those 2 season he played 69 & 62 games. He has an interesting shooting % except for 1 year where it 6.8, and 2 yrs it was 9.9 and 9.7 - all his other years it was over 12% and his career avg is 13.2% - which is really good. They did say that was his 3rd hattrick. His career high for assists is 32, and he's done that twice too in 71 & 65 games. He should be able to get 40 pts with the Habs and he might be able to hit his career high of 45 pts again, possibly surpass that by 5 and get 50 pts.

brobin Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 So Perreault is our new top scorer? Sorry I missed that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Nice to more than double our season's scoring in one game, and to stop that weird streak of losing to the Wings. The best way to tank is to lose only in regulation and win only by 5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 #85 is this year’s equivalent of Perry or Kovalchuk à feel good story of a player pass his prime rejuvenated when joining the Habs He may turn out to be a good 3C find 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
