Our goalie situation demands that Max and PK up their game. They haven't.

I don't buy this injury excuse, every team goes through injury, i kind of understand Price injury but saying Gallagher injury is reason we don't score i don't buy that, we didn't lose 40 goal scorer and even that we had 4 lines which were scoring before, plus every team goes through injury.

Gallagher is the only Habs player who plays north-south & crashes the net every shift. As Dec starts refs put away whistles & perimeter goals become less & less. Early in the season Habs scored a lot of perimeter goals, and unlikely players had abnormally high shooting %.

As much as I dislike having Condon-Tokarski as our keepers. they haven't been the problem. Whenever we score 3 goals, we've been winning.

That is true, scoring obviously is issue and Gallagher was playing only in 1 line and not 4 and we were getting scoring from almost all lines any way, back to goalie, the issue is these two guys can't make key saves in key moments, today is a good example of Habs game in last 2-3 weeks, we dominate the game, can't score and goalie can't make key saves, so is combination of all that.

As i said Gallagher played in only one line not 4 and we were getting scoring from other 3 lines before.

It's the dominoe effect, a solid shift by Gallagher often allowed Habs to get an early lead - whether his line scored or not. NHL is a score first wins league.
 
The difference between Doughty and Subban is that Doughty seems to realize that most often than not less is more.

Subban just tries to force things too much

I have no argument with Gallagher effect but that is not excuse to not be able to score goals when you lose only one forward who score between 20-25 normally.

The issue is 27,67, 14, 81, 51 all under performing. Add to that P.K, Petry and Markov.
Honestly kids are doing much better job.

only 81 is capable of playing a north-south game, rest are perimeter....too bad he's not a top-6 talent.
