We had two great chances in the first two minutes in the third. No idea how they compile that shit.

Yeah I just don’t know what they qualify as a HDC. Both the one Evan’s sailed wide and the one Gallagher scored were HDC imo.

Funny how Dvo seems to have found another gear once the games mattered. Maybe he’s one of those players. He never played meaningful games in his career until now.

Also UFA.

Also UFA.

Yeah but he was UFA all year and he’s been a dud for most of the year.

Was saving it until people started watching.

He should only play in beige camo.

Dvo is the most extreme example but a lot of Habs have found another gear. In part because MSL seems to have found a way to make his system easier to execute. The Habs are clearly more organized the past 6 weeks.

A nice little win

FWIW, Roger Grillo’s apparently been attending games in person as eye in the sky - don’t know how frequent or when it started

On defense it’s pretty brittle, one guy miss his read and everything goes down the sewer, but neutral zone play is much improved, and I like how they’ve been been activating the trailer on the rush.

Forechecking is still lacking though besides the Anderson-Gallagher combo. Evans’ line haven’t been able to get it going for 2 months now, but he looked better taking shifts with Dvo and Gally.

Minus the five game losing streak where they were clearly disjointed.

Also Pezzetta hasn't been hurting the team which is surprising.

For sure.
Their first brush with playing meaningful games… progress is not linear

Yeah their transition to offense is much better than the reverse
