Crappy finishing is down to not having any real offensive threat on the roster.. Which is down to crappy drafting and draft position.. Which is down to not committing to a proper rebuild..
We could have had 100x the shots. It’s not the quantity that matters, is the quality. Hence why they doubled us in goals.
We run into so many hot goalies. Always an excuse. I’m glad you see the team trending in the right direction. I just don’t.
losing Anderson really hurts, one of the few talented finishers on the team. him and Toffoli, really. after that there's a big drop-off
Lol. With average NHL goaltending Julien would have been 11-3-3. Can't see Habs improving on that? Maybe short term at best.
Price didn't help Habs cause, but Montreal has scored 19 goals in their last 9 games. That's 2.11 goal a game. That's Detroit territory (30th in the league). There is only two teams in the league with lower GAA to compensate for such low goal scoring (Tampa and Vegas). "Average goaltending" doesn't save you from that, as shown by Allen performance tonight.So our problem isn't only defensively and in front of the net. We have been sucking offensively since the hot 10 games streak at the start of the season.
Believe it or not when your goalie continually lays eggs it can destroy a teams confidence and even impact scoring. I know some of those games Allen was in net, but if your confidence is already shattered it is hard to change your style no matter who is in net on any given night. They’ll get going again.
I’m sure the Winnipeg board was just as unhappy about it as we would have been.
This is a crock of kaka. Price's confidence wasn't shot during the bubble. how come the horror of playing behind this terrible defense didn't affect him then. Price has trouble handling expectations.
