So is it because they're actually good, or just on a hot streak?

woohooo even made Youppi! faint!

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

We ain't winning this.

aged well

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Played 5 games in 8 nights and won the four important ones. Can't expect much more.

I thought PL skated much better tonight.. all these games are getting him into shape.. still some work to do but I like the way the 2nd line is playing. PL , Dach , Demidov will be fun to watch.

Probably a bit of both.

Montembault first star…

The hate around here is way overboard

 

[Habsy]

Intolerance isn't hate

 

[Habsy]

Monty had a big game. The rest of the team less so.

Yeah he was awesome on those three goals he scored to bail himself out...

Which part of what I said isn’t true?

The team played well enough. Monty was much better. Nice bounce back after last game and the first goal.

They bent but didn't break and did a lot of things right despite the shots.

 

[AH$$$]

The team looks exhausted.

The schedule wear and tear is showing

 

[Habsy]

Break is coming. They need to hold on. Other teams are tired too

The first goal was not on Monty.. two tampa players alone in front of the net.. 21 was lost on that play not Monty

Disagree. He had eyes on the whiffed puck and let in a goal at 10kmh

Yes Guhle messed up worse. Still was very stoppable.

If you zoom out even further, to a large 32 game sample, Habs are 20-10-2, with a .656 points percentage, third-best in the NHL over that span.

It's clearly more than just a hot streak. The additions of Laine (17 pts. in 19 games . . . not bad, eh), Carrier (and its ripple effects on the d-man pairings) and Dobes, moving Hutson to PP1, Dach and Slaf waking up, etc.

It’s been said practices are worth .5 of a game for energy expenditure. They’ve been reducing practices and I expect it will be closely managed for the rest of the season.

Very stoppable if you can predict that Kucherov would miss on his shot. But he made his move to stop the shot and didn’t have time to readjust when he realized the miffed shot. There is a reason goalies look silly on missed shots all the time, they’re very very hard to stop as goalies at that level relies heavily on anticipation.
