If TSN still did their "TSN Turning Point" it would surely be when Niklas Sundstrom missed that open net with about 10 minutes to go and the Habs up 1-0. The puck might have hit something, or might have been bouncing, or he might have simply shot wide, I didn't see the replay enough times to tell, but either way it was a huge miss.
The runner-up would be Higgins missing his great chance, set up by a good hustle move by Ryder, but he was in tight and had little time for a good deke.
Gotta bury those chances, boys!

... don't forget Ribeiro's "rebound" attempt off of Kovalev's shot. Ribs was within a few feet of Aebischer when the Aebischer made the save and deflected the puck right onto Ribs' backhand. I've never seen such a soft backhanded attempt. I think that I could've blown the puck harder!
While on my favorite subject (i.e. trashing Ribs), notice how Koivu tries to crash the net when he's skating into the offensive zone with the puck. In the same situation, notice how Ribs always slows down around the top of the circles and looks to make a pass.

Good observation, Jonny. Ribeiro is always looking for the perect "master key", and should shoot more. The perfect master key for him would be the key to a local gym to do some weight training.
