I felt the Habs had a really good chance to go on a deep run if they could just get by the Rags. They just have such a difficult time scoring goals and need almost perfect goaltending to have any real chance of winning a 7 game series.

The big boys didn't step it up enough. Radulov was good, dude's got grit. Lundqvist outplayed Price. The youngster Lehkonen looks promising.

The Habs didn't win because they remain a few players away from being true Cup contenders. Everyone's mad at Pacioretty for not scoring, but it's not like the team acquired anyone to help spread around the offence.

Their centres for the elimination game: Danault, Plekanec, Flynn, Ott. Not good enough. Not even close.

Galchenyuk was jerked around all series, then suddenly was given two big faceoffs in the third period of game six. Too late.

I know I harp a lot on speed but I feel like the Habs became a bigger, slower team at the deadline and I don't think they were really a "quick" team to begin with. Never a recipe for success.
