anyone who watched the habs throughout the playoffs will tell you, this is not the montreal canadiens that played last night
I don't know if it's the 3 days off, the partying, the hype, expectations, etc. but what I saw last night was effortless forecheck, effortless backchecking from forwards, an amazing inability/unwillingness to go to the crease, and some PISS POOR passing...
The habs' success was because of three things:
1- goaltending
2- solid defence
3- doing all the little things right (precise passes, placing your stick at the right place on defence, avoid penalties, good forecheck, etc.)
last night was the habs' worst playoff game so far
I just hope they wake the **** up before tuesday, because overcoming a 0-2 deficit will be hard againt the flyers ....
GO HABS GOOOO !
