Karine Hains: Room for Improvement The Canadiens dropped the opening game of the Stanley Cup Final with a 5-1 loss at the hands of the Lightning.

yep, wait and see what they can do on Wednesday.
scoring a lucky goal (deflected twice) won't be enough.
Habs did not play their best game, they'll need to do it.
off to bed.

Hypothetical question, if they drop game two, do you insert Tatar and Romanov into the lineup to try and generate spark?

Im not sure who would sit for Tatar, but Gusty would be my pick for Romanov....he scares me back there more than I would care to admit.

Barzal is better than Suzuki, Nelson is better than kk, Pageau and Danault pretty much even.
that's all you have?

Barzal and Suzuki seem pretty even, agree Nelson is better now, I'd take Danault over Pageau.

What did the hab nots think was going to happen? Lol. BIG BOY hockey.

Armia in, KK out

Lekhonen probably

Good run by the Habs but the islanders showed everyone the blueprint to compete and have a chance to win against Tampa …….play physical! Unfortunately the habs are a fast but small team and imho I can’t see them winning a game unless price steals one!

It can happen agaisnt a team 18M$ over the cap

Everybody needs to breathe a little. It's one game. This next one will be important though. Reset, get an early jump and honestly hope for a little luck. These guys have worked hard, I for one will cheer them to the end. If someone is giving up there seat on the octobus, I'll gladly take it 😁😁

ugh, gonna be a long day in here hearing how the habs have zero chances of winning now... reminds me a bit of what was being said when they were playing against TOR. and WPG. and VGK too... huh.

This comment is an amazing way of saying that you both don't watch and have no idea what you're talking about. Kind of impressive even for here. Bravo

yeah, you're right little duck, Suzuki is the better player.

Have you ever noticed the high quality of posters who show up after a Habs loss but are nowhere to be found when the Habs win? They're all experts to boot. Crazy how that works out

Sounds like it'll be my time to shine

If Price is anything less than amazing, they will lose this unfortunately. They won't score many goals on that team.
