Habs could have started with Suzuki and Toffoli, at least with this pairing they are trying to score a goal. Danault is only out there to prevent Winnipeg from scoring and he can’t even do that right. Winnipeg went into OT with the right approach, putting 3 forwards out to score a goal and win...
So, the Habs changed who delivers the message, who runs the power play but did nothing to change the defence. The defence is still a problem, so what are the Habs going to do to change the defence for the better?
Suzuki, soft on dump in.
Edmundson, left his guy to stick check the puck carrier.
Price gives up 5 hole goal by noted sniper Nate Thompson.
New coach can’t make these plays for their players
KK now knows he can push the puck over the line but not the puck AND the goalie’s leg over the line. The team’s fighting but they have to stay out of the penalty box and get an early goal in the third if they want another comeback.
