That’s not why the habs lost. They were simply beaten by a better team. More skill, more toughness, more size & better goaltending.
Sometimes it is difficult to give credit where it is due to the hated opponent. I would be willing to bet that most of the posters here do not know that Tom Wilson had his best season as an NHL player this year. 33 goals and 32 assists for 65 points. He never previously had 30 goals or 30 assists in a season and bested his prior best season by 13 points. He also had an efficient 100 penalty minutes. What this means is he is bullying very effectively and not getting called for as many penalties, as we have seen in this series.

Dure dure dure défaite....tout a vraiment basculé avec la sortie/blessure de CARRIER----gracieuseté de WILSON---......on a surtaxé MATHESON---et CHAPEAU pour un match incroyable....GUHLE et HUTSON.....c'était beaucoup leur demander...on les
a épuisé.....et les punitions évidemment n'ont pas aidé et siphonnées aussi beaucoup d'énergie de nos défenseurs...alors 2 jours de repos bénéfiques....MAIS c'est une équipe bien amochée qui va se présenter à WASH....vs des joueurs qui eux pètent le feu
.....mais on en a vu d'autres......lol.

I wish the HABS would have a Clark Gillies in his team.
Tom Wilson wouldn't be making the law on ice.
He once broke the two cheek bones of an adversary in a fight with his fist !
And he scored goals too.

If the Habs had Gillies he would do to Tom Wilson exactly what he did to Dave Schultz in the below fight. You guys are too young to remember, but Schultz and the Flyers would try and bully and intimidate the young Mike Bossy, much like Wilson bullies and intimidates the Habs. The bullying of Bossy eventually stopped because the Flyers learned there was this price to pay:

We are getting to see amazing glimpses into our future. We need to be reminded that we were lucky to even make the playoffs, that each game is gravy and this is the best learning experience for all our young players (and fans).
There's still a lot of hockey to be played, and all I want is to see them battle through the pain 1 game at a time.

MSL did some bad mistakes last night, he also needs to learn. He got outcoached hard last night.
That hit on Carrier never should have gone unanswered even if he did have his head low, that was clearly intentional from Wilson. And removing Dobes with 3 min to go without having puck posession WTFFFFF.

The kids fell into the trap, hopefully they won't ever again. But damn... they did improve, just need to improve more. I'm still loving where this team is going.

Now I'm hoping Oilers break. With McJesus contract up next year... one can only dream that he will want out of Deadmonton.
