Karine Hains: Ducharme Bets on Power Play to Keep Habs Alive in Cup Final On the eve of the most important match of the year for the Montreal Canadiens, their coach Dominique Ducharme had them work on their power play.

I can't say playing Stool over KK on the power play is exactly cause for celebration. The habs are barely getting any power plays, so why is this his focus? They can't keep the puck out of the net which they used to do well, which is what got them here. It's like the ship is sinking, but Ducharme is making damn sure the decks are scrubbed clean.

finally! I don't understand what took so long. Gustave in the regular season, maybe.
but in the playoffs with like 0 PP... no tks.

for a second there I thought you were talking about the blog loll

I’m thinking basing the game plan on “power play” when referees haven’t called jack s41t all playoffs is a failed model

Time to put the trio of Evans Bryon Lekhonen back in this trio will cause turnovers with their speed. Put Romanov and Kulak back on 3rd pair

wouldn't mind that at all. I would also mix things up a little. I'd play Toffoli with Danault and Gallagher in replacement of Tatar. these 2 need a more offensive player (as Tatar was).
and I'd play Anderson with Suzuki and Caufield. maybe he can create some room for the kids.
then Evans' line and Staal's line.

It'd be more akin to taking 3/1000 odds instead of 1/1000.

gotta try something, plan A hasn't worked in 3 games

they played well in game 2, but you're not allowed to have any brain farts against such a strong team
