Thank you Farabee for the getting the goal back so quickly.

That was the craziest save ive ever seen. If Laughton scores there it wouldve have been a much easier time.

How did Thompson miss that empty net. Are you kidding me?

Braun was just terrible and if he continues to play like that games will all be this close.

Happy 22nd birthday Carter Hart!

Price is going to steal a game or two in this series imo. That save a his stick was probably the best save I've ever seen. Not too mention he saved his teammates head. That was a rifle of a shot was was highway robbery how that didn't go in.

Lets hope that was Price's best game and our worst of the series.

Farabee was flying last game. I would expect, however, at some point that he and Jake switch.

Ill agree. Even though Farabee looks good in that spot i think we would benefit more with Jake on the first line and Farabee on the third.

Wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win! Hart was fantastic.

So far i think thats been our MO in the Bubble. Not pretty win but a win.

Laughton should've just fired the damn thing low and hard. There's no goalie even in the net, so why bother going high? No excuse for Thompson to miss an even more open net in the 3rd either.

This game was frustrating to watch because it was too damn close for comfort and we never put them away for good.

We can't be that loose with the puck (especially throughout the 2nd), rely on Hart that much and expect to sweep Montreal.

A win is a win, but you'd like them to be less stressful than that one. Take care of the puck better or finish off our best scoring chances and we win that game a lot easier.

I thought JVR played well/ After the Weber hit it woke him up

For having just dipped our toes into true playoff hockey and really not performed near our best, we will take a 2-1 win and be encouraged by that moving forward.

Also, Carter Hart could soon get into their heads if he continues to play this well or better. This kid is absolutely locked in.

Jake has to pick it up for that to happen. But I like it. I think Farabee and AK have chemistry together.

Agree . We played very well in the 1st. The 2nd gave them life and they took it to us.
Montreal left that game feeling good for sure.

We need to dominate game 2 and break their spirit

I think starting the period 4 on 4 had an impact. It seemed like the Canadians gained some footing on those early shifts and it kind of snowballed from there. God, it’s so nice to have a legit tender now that can handle the storm in the inevitable times during a hockey series where that happens.

Yep, it's time to take their smaller forwards to the woodshed physically. We play pretty strong team defense in front of Hart, but when even that isn't good enough, he is definitely bailing us out. We really have a big edge at center between at least Couturier and Hayes. These two guys should be banging bodies, driving to the net and wreaking havoc in the offensive zone all night long. It's something we really need to exploit asap.

I joined this board during Covid but with no hockey I just wandered in here recently. You guys really know your hockey. It’s been very enjoyable reading the perspectives here. Really helps me get Flyered up during this exciting time. Thanks fellas.

 

[Maverick426h]

Also, big-bodied, young defenders like Sanheim and Myers, while very skilled and adept at their craft, have yet to really mature to the point of finishing people. These small, speedy forwards for Montreal need to know that they are going to get hammered when they go to scoring areas with the puck, otherwise they are going to be buzzing around our net constantly.

He was atrocious, he had Ghost scrambling all over the place. Dude needs to seriously step it up.

If he ever gets the sack to dump the puck in and chase it down in a corner and fight for it, I'll eat his pussy. I hate big guys who are afraid of contact.

So, you like man-pussy and your name is Mike Milbury.

Glad we've got that straightened out.

I will agree. He has finally found his calling as a 4th liner.
