We're creatures of momentum, it appears. Sure other teams are affected by momentum, but when the other team has it - the Habs look terrible. Maybe its the pressure of the Bell Centre - all I know is I wish they'd come up with a way of gaining the edge in play, when they are down like that. This team is it's own worst enemy sometimes - they seem to get up in their own heads, if that makes sense.
After Eller scored, Petry and Gilbert - and others - threw big hits. Then Max scored - suddenly the team looked like the team we watched at the beginning of the season, again.
How to gain that momentum without a goal, though? A fight? We're not built for that... A big hit? That could do it - I've seen that fire this team up this season. Maybe the coaching staff needs to come up with ways to motivate the team better, because they looked horrible.
Until the momentum shifted.
