the frustrating thing is watching the games that are almost enjoyably fantastic but always suffer a bad third act and end predictably

The question is whether it’s the same players who keep screwing up, over and over. They undo the advanced stats and are seemingly incorrigible.

A certain group of Habs has a persistent history of making plainly avoidable bonehead plays, and it’s not clear to me they have the capacity to resolve this.

I would say that Lane was the first offender in yesterday’s debacle. Not for the first time this year either. Of course he does way more good and he gets so much ice time, so he’ll never be error-free… However, I think his lack of situational awareness will be corrected.

Two-goal lead in the 3rd? Dump it, get pucks deep.

Exactement.

I doubt we see Lane make that mistake in a year or two. On that play, Dobsappointment also let the team down. Why did he suddenly decide to attack the shooter when Dobes was square to the shooter and Lane was closing in on him.

One regulation win. One.

Advanced stats are nice security blankets but one regulation win…

Advance stats are a peak into the future.

It's 4 wins. It's only the tiebreaker that matter for regulation wins. If we are fighting for 8th that's a fail.

And don't forget last time everybody was complaining about OT wins we made the finals.

With Lalonde having come in to tweak the defensive aspect(s) of the Habs game…. game to game micro level analysis of the teams game won’t tell the story.

It will take 25-30GP at least before any conclusions can be drawn on trends

It’s not too early to say that our defensive numbers are way better than they were last year… So far it hasn’t translated into the standings because of some pretty crap tending and individual breakdowns when holding a lead
