Playoff GDT | Game #2 | at Lightning | Tuesday, April 21st 2026 7:00 PM EST Puck Drop

The OT was garbage for everyone except Dobes.

But I have a question. Why can’t we play defensively all the time the way we did in regulation?

Its in them. But they look like clowns majority of the time.

No team can lock it down full time
 
MSL saying Dach was at the end of his shift (read ''tired'')....
I saw it more as he was perhaps worn down and didn't want to take a possible hit. Either way, three late, needless icings by three different players. Its hard to take repeated hits all game long for some guys, and Tampa would say their strategy worked. We looked worn in the third. Anderson, on the other hand, had no issue with the style of play.

They jumped on our brains cramps.

We were not opportunistic, i.e. Hutson post on Sabourin penalty.
Newhook & Danault not converting on open blocker side, Bolduc on open glove side

Habs had plenty of 5 on 5 opportunities … have to convert playoffs

This is why not making veteran deadline adds was the right approach - this is after all year 1 of roster evaluation & construction and this series is going to yield lots of meaningful data towards influencing those evaluations
