Imagine the months (years?) of having to deal with obnoxious Leaf fans if they booted the Habs in 4 or 5 games. UGH!<br /><br />The Islanders are doing an impression of the Kings so maybe the safest match up would be against the never quit Senators?<br /><br />I thought Markov was the good luck charm but it appears Emelin's absence is equal in magnitude. Teams don't flip the switch like they used to come playoff time. So the Habs have two games to remember how they played before they clinched, otherwise mid-May tee times will be theirs.<br /><br />northcoasthab87https://www.blogger.com/profile/05489507640847934821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-88687658776354849062013-04-21T21:55:14.354-11:002013-04-21T21:55:14.354-11:00Perhaps other teams have begun to read the habs...Perhaps other teams have begun to read the habs' system better too. For example, in recent games, it looked like opponents broke the swarm by holding an attacker back for a quick outlet pass. The coaching staff has to get players going but they must also make sure the system itself is still adequate. Yanne L Véronneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269427102676695789noreply@blogger.com
