As I said, it was like watching the MTL series all over again, except vs a competent backup in Montoya instead of hot goalie in Halak.
Caps and Trotz have got to find ways to deal with teams like this, especially on nights where the calls don't go your way and the PP isn't an equalizer. I know coaches for years have been trying to do this but obviously some have succeeded, otherwise only smothering, trapping teams with low forward payrolls would be winning Cups. This kind of thing was BB's downfall.
I think stretch passes were part of the plan last night, at least as an adjustment. That doesn't seem to be enough by itself. I wasn't able to pay enough attention to Xs and Os to offer anything more specific to the game.
