A bit of an ugly game but they got the 2 points.
Pickard once again plays well and shows people he's a capable back up at least for this year. I am feeling pretty comfortable with him as all he does is give his team chances to win games and even has the stats to back that up.
The PP. It sure looked like they weren't going to get a goal. I personally didn't like the players they had out there on the 4 on 3. I know they say Nuge is a key part of it but when you are only allowed 4 players, I don't have your 46 goal, net front guy on the bench in place of Nuge. With Hyman on the ice, he is in front of the net. That not only makes it harder for the goalie but also makes it so one of the Habs defenders has to concentrate on him which opens up more ice for McD, Leon and Bouch. Having Nuge do his usual on the perimeter thing, along with McD on the boards and Leon in his spot, allows for the Habs to keep their triangle.
Take the 2 points, focus on Buffalo next.
