GDT: Game 43 | Canadiens vs. Wild | Jan 12, 2016

Minny is a very well balanced team , size , speed , grit , mobile D ....could go far this year

yup, the only knock is that boudreau will be coaching them in the playoffs and will likely lose a game 7 at some point in the first or second round
 
Team is off?
Did we watch the same first?

How many 10-ft and under lose puck / rebound SOG did the team have in the 1st period? Answer: Zero. It's not about skating around in ballerina outfits, it's about push/thrust towards the net.

Against a big & very solid 3-pairing D and big goalie like Dubnyk have to generate chances in the paint and pounce on rebounds to score - like Minny's first & fourth goals. This is where the Habs weakness becomes glaring, even when Galchenyuk returns Plekanec remains a liability in the playoffs due to lack of thrust down the middle.

I'm starting to lose confidence in Price. Something is off with him. No that's not to say he's responsible for tonight.
 
Our roster is shit right now...like how we've gotten points lately but this could turn sideways quick if we don't get some key guys back asap...
 
We had a good first sal. Failed to score. This is moment u need ur elitw goalie to make key saves. He didn't . We sucked in second and game is over now.
 
Minny is a heck of a team.

They are extremely stingy and than you have to try and beat a pretty damn good goalie

We had a tough task with the injuries also
They likely have the best set of 6-Dman as a group in the NHL IMO, add to it a big goalie, and solid mix of size & talent up front.
 
The problem is Price has bailed this team out so much in the past that people come to expect it so when he doesn't they blame him. Price is not playing like he did two seasons ago but it's not logical to expect him to. He needs defensive help.
