God the Habs make it look so easy this year. A very scary team.
I was coaching vs habs I would do 3 things and hope for 1.
first thing (1) Best checking skater I have on Pacioretty steady till he drove nuts.Give him no room what so ever.Take him right out of play to point its a waste passing puck his way.
(2) No matter what and I mean no matter what ,everytime Subban in our end a forward goes out near blueline next to him and no way he gets to use his shot.Powerplay included.If they beat us fine but he not gonna be reason .
(3) Anytime players like Gallager get in front of net I want Rask or someone on Defence to drive stick right across his ankles old school style.Punish them..Penalty or not.Send message and have them looking for it.
Finally to luck part.Any team plays scabs better hope penalty kill is going.Thats key.Allows you to be even chippier with them if its good..Do them things and especially first 2 well and I think its a tough series for them.Lions share of their points come from them 2.
