RH's picture

The morning after, and I think my head is FINALLY clear. Nice to read a post that makes sense. I know some of what I wrote last night was probably over-exaggeration but, the glaring holes in the Habs game, all season long, finally came home to roost and the B's capitalized without even blinking. A lot of faceoffs being lost, team toughness and grit, and a real lack of scoring support from others not named Kovalev, Plekanec and Kostitsyn. We all witnessed the Habs being manhandled by teams like the Rangers, Sharks, Ducks, Stars etc., during the season because these teams played an incredibly tight checking game centered by the neutral zone trap. The fact that the powerplay, which accounted for, what, 30 odd percent of the Habs goals went by the wayside because, every time Kovalev touched the puck, he was smothered by two players. The Bruins are moving well on the PK and are clearing the rebounds when they're not blocking the shots. The Habs are in tough on Monday and I'll be watching, as I always do.
