Fork it.  Faceoffs only matter when they matter.  Stay focused in their own end and they won't matter*. 

 

 

(* - But win the MFing ones when the Habs are on the PP.  THOSE will matter.)

Yep. And we lose a ton of faceoffs when they matter, whether on the PP or PK when puck possession is extra critical as you know.

Gotta be favoured because they’ve been there before:

Dallas. Nope

Edmonton. Nope

Tampa. Nope

Not even going to mention Pittsburgh and Boston.

The league is changing.

Why not us?

Just a reminder the last time the Sabres and Habs met in the playoffs in 1998 the Sabres swept them.

Nice.

Whoa. The Sabres chased Andy Moog in the series finale.

If you want to play a game of "remember some guys" here's Montreal's lineup (based on ice-time).

Shayne Corson - Vincent Damphousse - Mark Recchi
Martin Ručinský - Saku Koivu - Brian Savage
Scott Thornton - Marc Bureau - Turner Stevenson
Benoît Brunet - Jonas Höglund - Mick Vukota

Dave Manson - Patrice Brisebois
Igor Ulanov - Stéphane Quintal
Peter Popovic - Craig Rivet

Andy Moog
José Théodore

Remember when we traded Marcus Johanssen for Eric Staal?

Six years later and he’s coming off a 49-point season for the Wild and out there skating in the 2nd round.

I wonder if Staal is doing anything useful these days?

This really brings back memories, impossible to believe I was younger than Benson.

I would have preferred Tampa as I think their style allows us more opportunities and to use our speed more. And we have scored a lot on Vas. Too bad. Oh well.
 

Montreal will be tough. Goaltending is a huge factor. But then Swayman was tough. We have to shoot well. Montreal just packs it in if they get a lead and their goalie is really tough to beat. We have to bring it and score early and force them to play more offensively and that can get us turnovers and chances with our defensive checking.

If the Leafs keep their pick then next years first is unprotected to the Bruins and the following year’s is unprotected to Philly and Leafs will be no better the next 2 years

If they don't get a top 10 this year I bet Bruins trade it. Impatient and delusional lot those Bruins management people are.
