Playoff GDT: Round 3, Game 5 Canes v. Habs 5/29 8:00

It looked to me like two things happened here. One was the Habs were pretty much out of gas and could not keep up with Carolina's 4 line attack. The other was the five hole of Dobus is his weakness. I heard an interview after game one, and I forget who mentioned it, but they said something about how odd it was that this goalie does not keep his stick in front of him on the ice. This last game was all five hole hunting. It worked.
Montreal has a good young team but was no match for the 4 line Canes. That division is crazy tough.

Good job boys! No, let's continue to do the one shift at a time mentality which seems like a special gift only winners can emulate.
Go Canes!
Habs were banged up. Injury reports leaking. Not surprising after two hard series. They were fatigued because they rolled three lines and two D pairings instead of the full complement.

As for Dobeš? They’re nowhere close to the ECF without him. Face it, he basically took out Tampa and Buffalo for your guys to have a clear run to the cup finals. Now take advantage of it!
 
I’ll do you one better. Remember 2009? We won the first two rounds in 7 games each in crazy dramatic fashion both times (lookin’ at you Scotty Walker) only to get wiped out in the ECF. So, yeah, we know how the Habs fans feel.
I guess, but I think we all knew that crash was coming and the Canes were playing WAY above the rev limiter in 2009. This Montreal team ain’t that. They played great through two series and just hit the wall, but they didn’t play above their capacity at any stage. They were good all year. They’re just really, really young.

I believe Dobes was gassed also. He is a diamond in the rough. I believe he can only get even better.

I've worked at Bombardier in Montreal. It's been 25 years or so.That in game experience is special. It was a pleasure seeing them back in the mix so soon after the so called rebuild. Great fan experience.

And Ward’s back gave out.
