Kovalev weaved his magic touch last night to win the game with the final shootout goal. Montreal shouldn't be going to a shootout with the St. Louis Blues.
I can see the small vein in the side of Guy Carbonneau's neck beginning to pulsate everytime he hears the announcers say that the Canadiens powerplay is running 0 for 18.
Yes. The top powerplay in the NHL for the past few years is 0 for 18. One of the main problems is the man himself: Kovalev. They need to stop trying to carry the puck into the zone. Dump, chase to the corner and then start your magical passing. Seriously, if you chase, you will win. You're fast.
You can't very well put the puck on net if you can't even get into the zone and control it for a few seconds.
Now, in my humble opinion, a second way to score is to look where your passing. I know, I know... this is outrageous...but trust me. Before you step on the ice, look down. What colour sweater do you have? Make sure you remember that. You seem to be forgetting. A lot.
The Canadiens have until tomorrow night to get their act together when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes.
