P.K. Subban…..what a mouth the man has. Actually that's all he is. A walking talking mouth. Knows nothing about Carolina Hurricanes. Absolutely nothing. 😮
Shoot! Freddie isn't the better goalie, so the only way he wins is if we don't shoot…
12 shots
"Both goaltenders were great."???? Are you even watching the games? Anderson has been completely out of sync and slow to react. That first goal last night by MTL should have never went in. Dobeš has been amazing and is the reason the last 2 games were close.
The Canadiens look tired. Tired teams make mistakes. Carolina is out muscling them.
The Canadiens have not played their best game. Has Carolina played their best? We'll see next game.
theyve been outplayed every series….the candians luck is finally running out
why do they think "lets do that hockey" is endearing? it's so stupid lol
….no mention of the tiny habs not being able to pass around the sticks of the NHL sized players on the Hurricanes….
yooppi will make them lose..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Habs have no forecheck. No sustained O zone pressure.
They win 2 games in OT and we need to worry. I don’t understand cause it could have gone either way. Stop over analyzing
To take down the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final, the Canadiens need to focus on three critical tactical areas:
Evade the Shutdown Matchup: Head coach Martin St. Louis must use the last-change advantage at home to get the top line of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Juraj Slafkovsky away from Jordan Staal's shutdown unit and the Jaccob Slavin–Jalen Chatfield defensive pairing.
Generate Odd-Man Rushes: Carolina's aggressive, high-pressure system suffocates the boards. Montreal needs to utilize quick, hard rims to the weak side, beat the first layer of pressure, and let their young speed create counter-attacking rush opportunities through the neutral zone.
Exploit the Power Play: The Hurricanes boast an elite penalty kill. For the Habs to win low-scoring territorial battles, dynamic puck-movers like Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov must capitalize on limited man-advantage opportunities to break Carolina's structure.
We don't need PK Subban to tell us the Habs are in trouble.
End of games? How about the beginning and middle?
Montreal dg did not make THAT trade a the right time now look at us ..
😮
Say goodbye you can blame Marty
You shoot, you score. You do not shoot , of course you do not score! Shoot,shoot,shoot, you may score.
They had more icings than shots. Which makes me happy about the Canes but to go to OT after dominating for so long worries me
Would you stick Galley and Jackeye back in for game 4?
Stephen A knows about as much about hockey as he does boxing
The moment the 3rd goal was challenged, I knew it would be disallowed. Why? Because Cole Caufield was "attached" to the play and he has had bad luck throughout all 3 series. 😮
Canes are just getting warmed up. 75% about to explode to 90% consistently and really dominate the ice and score more goals.
PK changing his tone on Carolina, you hate to see it.
The real questions is does he own a normal outfit in his closet?
Pk has bad takes at hockey.
Not the Habs
Habs are lucky to be in the ECF
Not going to win too many more games in these playoffs tallying just 12 shots on goal per game.
The Habs can only rely on their 'Mystique & Aura' & the media constantly bubbling up their 'best home atmosphere' in the league for so long. Eventually they have to start creating scoring chances again.
Of course, Carolina, after stumbling in Game 1 of this series following the long layoff, are back to playing as they were in the earlier playoff rounds. And getting better with each game as well. They've been knocking on the door the last couple of years in the playoffs, this might finally be their time to break through.
