Defensive play, special teams
Permalink Closed


After watching the game tonight I am still seeing that the habs defense play needs improvement.  It's only really minor things that need to be tweaked.  I counted at one point over half a dozen mistakes by our defensive players (turnovers, losing the battle for puck, slow jump to get to the puck). Perhaps the Habs defense is not fast enought, or that Philly was forechecking deep into Montreal zone which caused a lot of turnover (luckily, none capitilized).  Montreal's special teams needs work, too many penalties and too many powerplay without goals. I was puzzled with the use of Streit and Souray on the powerplay, while Markov only was used 1 or 2 (and set up the goal).  As for the defense that I saw that didn't play well tonight, that caused turnover, lost the battle for the puck, had a slow jump to get to the puck (mainly Komisarek, Rivet). Although I saw Souray game improve he had made a few mistake tonight.
