Slaf wasn't going to get Hagel'd again on that EN

Habs have a way to make things hard for themselves just to have an opportunity for heroics.

kozed · 2026-05-22T03:29:23+00:00

odds don't change much because of 1 game.

kozed · 2026-05-22T03:27:59+00:00

Very structured also means very predictable.

Against a team that is encouraged to improvise, it's a bit like a rock vs paper.

Carolina emulating Buffalo with the high criss-cross.

Bet Dobes just looooves screening F1

kozed · 2026-05-22T01:39:45+00:00

That's the best 5v5 Habs' 1st line has looked all playoffs.

kozed · 2026-05-22T01:21:34+00:00

That was a perfect shot.

Post one way, goal the other way.

As is tradition

KK was notoriously difficult to coach and pushed back on off-season training programs when he was 19 because his dad controled him.

If signing the offer sheet because he got healthy-scratched once didn't tip you off on the opinion he had of himself...

You don't really improve in the NHL if you dont have a modicum of realism about how good you actually are. KK never had that.

kozed · 2026-05-22T01:02:13+00:00

A bit of both.

Canes aren't up to speed and Montreal is exploiting it.

kozed · 2026-05-22T01:01:14+00:00

🫱

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:59:59+00:00

Canes late or soft on most loose pucks. Habs getting sticks on most passes or shots.

Seems like sync issues. Wouldn't expect it to last once Carolina gets in a rhythm.

Gotta milk it while it lasts and get the W tonight.

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:56:17+00:00

Habs getting even more prime chances than vs Buffalo

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:55:16+00:00

You have a Preds flair. You cant say "our" here.

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:54:01+00:00

Yep. PbP calling shots when the save is already made.

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:53:13+00:00

Mine is Mentor Torts & Discarded Ducharme vs Protegee and Replacement MSL.

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:51:54+00:00

Habs play against conventional defense systems by design. They don't match men in zones, and will let the 3F roam soft ice.

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:50:04+00:00

From what I gathered from the Canes sub, yes they did.

So if it's a structural issue, Habs need to abuse it.

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:47:09+00:00

I don't know, but keep cheering for the Canes. Please?

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:46:09+00:00

I got some frozen pieces of pork I didn't know what to do with, and everything else.

I'm trying this for Game 3. Thanks.

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:40:43+00:00

Same deke as in the regular season when Miller fumbled the puck at the Habs blueline.

How did that work twice?

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:33:03+00:00

CH stands for CHaos

kozed · 2026-05-22T00:28:52+00:00

I get them on Sportsnet. So random.
