Still waiting for the first line to show up.
 
Still waiting for this team to put together more then 20 minutes of solid hockey in a game.

They were set up as well as they could have been with 8 seconds left. Subban knocks the net off. That's pretty good strategy, they should change that rule to make it a penalty shot late in the game, maybe if the other net is empty. It's kind of like the intentional 12 men on the field.

It should at least be a penalty that is called.

Also, after Iginla got railed, the whistle just blew the play dead? We get called offsides or what happened?
 
And I have no idea how Subban can just knock a net off and have it be a faceoff only.

seems like a complete freeroll for montreal, if the Bs never get the puck then it's not blown dead right? and then when the Bs get the puck where it might matter then it gets blown dead for a faceoff

You were busy last Thu, no?
 
You thought they put together several good consecutive periods?
 
They were dead in the 2nd period of the first game.

Here's hoping they show up in the first on Thursday and maybe Tuukka will come to play, although why start now?

Can someone with a better grasp on hockey explain to me why what Subban did was okay? It seems like the scumiest thing you can do that doesn't include hurting a player. Why not just have your goalie move the net every single time with only a few seconds left in the game if you lose the face-off? Even if they call a penalty it's not as big of a deal as forcing the other team to lose a few seconds AND have to win the face-off again.
 
Holy shit, the Canadiens are the biggest scum douchebags on the planet.

Wouldn't you rather not go back to boston down 1-3?  I thought so.  Win Thursday and it's a best of 3 and we have the home ice.  
 
Do you know what "must win" means. 
 
Because what you're describing isn't must win. It's "it'd be a preferable course of action to win."
