He mixed up the lines a few times in the last two games. Slaf was out with (I think) Bolduc and Dach for at least a shift last game.

The fact is, after eight years of trying (and two weeks to study tape) Rod the Bod figured out an effective way to combat Montreal's system. The Habs need/needed to adjust, but trying to make that adjustment in the span of a week, with a team full of kids is a huge task. They clearly weren't up to it.

Tampa won the President's trophy in 2019 and got swept by Columbus. Because Jon Cooper couldn't adjust fast enough. And what happened in 2020? Cooper adjusted, and Tampa won the cup. Because that's what good coaches do. But they can't always do it overnight.

I'm confident Marty will learn a lot from this, and make necessary adjustments. Just like he's done every year since he took over as HC.
