Rangers are great on the road, Habs struggle at home.


As TSN690 were saying this morning, if Price expects to get a 9 mil contract, maybe he should steal a game at some point. Lundquist and Price have been pretty equal so far, with an edge for Lundquist because he's faced more shots....and it seems Habs were robbed a few times point blank.

Price is the last player to be blamed, because Habs aren't scoring.....but this is the team Bergy built, all his system is built around hoping Price steal us games all the way to the Cup.
 
I'm concerned about Markov going forward, he's been physically targeted and it started to show with his 5-giveaways last night.

They've not been equals, Lundqvist have been better. This is a goaltender battle with both teams giving up very few scoring chances, we can't have Carey giving up easy goals like last night, at worst it should have been a 1-1 game going into OT. Most games will be played like this.
 
game 4 was a must win for the rangers and they did not really impress

that said habs have to be better
 
Lundq made the difference yestarday with 2 break away stops as Julien also mentionned it in his press conference.
 
That breakaway pass worked early. Later in the game the Rangers sat back more (was it an adjustment to protecting against that pass, or was it cause they had the one goal lead late?)

Either way they took that away and it led to a lot of icings.

Habs have to adjust to that if the Rangers get a lead again. They had a tough time gaining the zone in the third period of games 1 and 4.
 
Looks like Julien is going back to the lines that started Game 4.

Pacioretty - Danault - Radulov
Byron - Plekanec - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Galchenyuk - Shaw
King - Ott - Mitchell

...also looks like Emelin is back tonight.

Markov - Weber
Benn - Petry
Beaulieu - Emelin
 
I'd rather have someone more steady like Benn to be paired with Beaulieu, but at least this way the 3rd unit's minutes would be a bit less
