That's also what we said last Thursday. Be it a 6-1 loss like yesterday or a 2-1 loss in double OT, it's still only 2-1 in the series.

Does not look good though.

Swing game is tomorrow, that will determine the series.

the get this in "my threads"

Generally good post, but I wonder sometimes if Engels is watching the games, or creating his own narrative in his head. The Sens in no way played great in game 2 - but "embarrassed" and "pounded" are meaningless hyperbole that in no way reflect the reality of game 2. Montreal was the better team in game 2 - no doubt about it. But I'm sorry, "embarrassed" and "pounded" describe only Montreal in game 3.

Eric Engels: Senators Come Alive in Game Three, Habs Embarrassed

Eric. With the exception of Anderson, I thought Karlsson was the best player on the ice in game one.

Happy BDay to @BGALLY17! And congrats on the Calder nomination. Well deserved. #taurus #beauty

Game 2 was exactly that. It doesn't have to be a 6-1 game for it to be considered such. Physically dominated, no response at all from them, outshot, outhit, outhustled, blocked shots.

Words of a few Senators I spoke to--they were embarrassed.

Alfreddson was smacked several times. Methot smacked. Cowen smacked. Karlsson smacked. No one stood up.

As I wrote in the blog, The Habs were embarrassed to a more severe degree last night.

Narrative?

Sens walked out of Montreal with a win they didn't come close to deserving, and they didn't show up at all in game 2.

Game 3, they were great. Better from period to period, culminating in a crushing win for their team.

Hopefully these playoffs will help the management team to make more great decisions over the course of the summer.

Well, it is a Habs thread...

He hasn't had a game yet that near the level of where he could be. I'm not denigrating him, either. The fact that he's playing is astounding. He's missing a full gear, and that's not his fault. I'm praying he gets it back eventually, because at top speed, no one could catch him at all. It gave him a major edge he hasn't had yet.

Don't get me wrong, he's a superstar. Superstars--even when they're not at 100%--are still better than most players.

Has he played a game near the level of Subban through the first two? No.

Well, it is a Habs thread...

I don't think it has anything to do with that. If he couldn't see how decisive Friday's win was, he needs to review it, watch it over again, keep the statsheet handy.

as has been the trend every game thus far.

It's all good guys.

For my prediction to be right (Habs in 7) they need to lose 3 games.

Everything is going according to plan. ¸
