Offensive Woes

[Drakkar]

And? WE scored 6 goals, I think it is a pretty good number for a bad offense.

The Habs got schooled that game. They got lucky with a few deflections, and really average goaltending by Jones. There is not much positive to take from that game.

So Plekanec, Subban and Pacioretty are on pace for 58 points, Galchenyuk 47 points, Pacioretty for 34 goals, thats not good enough. Is it the system or the players? To get anywhere in the playoffs I'm definitely thinking we need more offense as Price is unlikely to bail us out for 3 or 4 series in a row. Rumour is we are looking for more offense, Can't say I disagree, going to have to give up something good to get something good in return. Untouchables are Price, PK, Gally, Sekac, everyone else is fair game in my opinion. Thoughts?

Next Habs game against an "offensively successful" team, focus on the low slot. Compare the Habs and the focus placed there with the team they are playing.

There is your answer. Its not the players, its the system.

I agree besides last few games our "O" is terrible and non existent .

People need to temper the expectations and successes on the lines the last two games.

Vancouver was exhausted. MTL should have blown them away.

LA dominated except in goaltending. Jones couldn't make a stop to save his life.

Lines looked promising but shouldn't go overboard at all.
