I would insert Veleno and take out Kapanen.

Can't we at least try to stop Hagle from dominating the series?

Twice we allowed him behind for an easy goal on a pass by Koochie

tied 2-2 with our top players producing zero points 5/5

You take that 7 days a week

 

[Hoiles]

How about putting Gally in just for the pest factor... we're not expecting him to score anymore so it won't be annoying when he doesn't.

Stay in the press box

Cant be a pest if you cant get to the players

 

[Sal_Butera]

Veleno in for Kapanen

 

[Krustchev]

Veleno in for Kapanen

Put him on the line with Anderson and Danault and put Evans between Newhook and Demidov.

Agreed. The Canadiens will win this series.

It's been a super close series. Game 5 is gonna be an relatively easy win for the Habs and game 6 will be another nail biter

 

[Hoiles]

If anything, TB has completely been a one line team whereas Habs have won games thanks to Anderson, Dach, Texier, etc, so that bodes well.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Where was this Hagel in Milan?

Like Bennett and the rest of them, their games are best suited for NHL playoffs style of play and rule calling

They have Cirelli to shut down our top line and we have Danault to shut down there's. Nothing more needs to be said.

 

[Krustchev]

Did anyone ask Marty last night why Struble was on the ice in the last two minutes of the second period in the first place. That was not smart.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Especially 4 v 4.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Hagel moved to Point/Kooch line was their adjustment. It worked, with Cirelli and Gourde as an effective shut down.

MSL with some thinking to do.

I don’t remember Stroobs on the ice, but I do remember fretting during that 4 on 4 because I thought Hutson and the others were playing way too aggressively given the situation and all that open ice.

Our youth is amazing but sometimes it taketh away

Let me see. Matheson was in the box, Guhle and Carrier just got off the ice so his only choice was Hutson and one of Struble/Xhekaj. I would have picked Struble as well over Arber.

Who were our forwards on the ice on that play
