How many cup winners do the Habs have on their roster? Their coach has several.
The Habs as a whole have much more playoff experience than the Sabres.
The Bruins played way above expectations during the regular season and the Sabres exposed their flaws, but I would not say that was an easy series.
The Habs are a playoff tested team.
It seems that the Sabres were not prepared for them.
Is that coaching - partly, but the main reason is on the players. They appear to think that they can just walts around and win in the second round and beyond.
They will play better in game 4 and beyond - I still think the Sabres will win the series in 6 or 7.
Also, Lindy did not listen to me - he should have started 6K. The team did get a spark with the first goal not even a minute in ... the problem is they did not tend that spark into a flame.
