Pretty disappointing game last night. For whatever reason the Habs seem to have the Oilers number. I do think part of it is the Habs big "vet" defense that basically does whatever they want. Leon gets absolutely tackled from behind. I think the Hab dman may have even grabbed him by the horse collar, sure looked like it. McD coming in on Weber full speed, about to walk around him, clubs McD down. it wasn't borderline, took the legs right out.
Not that faceoffs are the end all be all but I thought it was an indication of how they played. They got destroyed in faceoffs. 65-35. Kotkanemi, a 20 yr old, 75%. Staal a career 48% was 78%. Suzuki, 2nd yr player, 44% career, 58%. Come on fellas, bare down. TRY!!
McD, Leon, non factors. Depth scoring is important, you need it to win but no team will win very often when your top guys do nothing. They did nothing.
Nuge, Yamo, Kahun. Did you guys play? Yamo is I guess you call it sophomore jixing it hard. He needs to get going. I guess it helps drive that contract down. Nuge is reportedly turning down 5 yr deals. Seriously? Based on what should you be turning down deals? I expected a big year being a UFA, when? Does Kahun do anything ever unless tap in easy Leon lay ups?
I thought the Khaira line was pretty good.
4th line was meh.
I thought the Jones - Bear pairing was ROUGH. They got schooled all night. People keep saying Jones will be good. WHEN? I can see why the coaches are reluctant to play him. On paper he has the skillset to be decent but he is a gong show at times and SOFT. You don't have to be a banger but do you have to touch guys to play defense. I keep waiting for him to show something and it's not there. The Russell - Larsson pairing can defend at times but they struggle moving the puck which can get them in trouble.
Smith made some great saves, I thought he was good but the last one, you got to stop it in my books.
