Habs must be more disciplined to succeed

As I just mentioned, the power play did well last year, and that’s what saved the club. But this season, that doesn’t mean the club will be as successful in similar circumstances. After all, they’ve lost Joel Armia, Christian Dvorak and David Savard. Guys like Josh Anderson, Jake Evans and Mike Matheson will still be around, but Dvo, Armia and Savard don’t make for good replacements. Nick Suzuki is a guy who has already played short-handed, but with his already high playing time and many responsibilities, we don’t want to burn him either… [content-ads] Could a guy like Alex Newhook, who is fast, get a chance at 4-on-5? I wouldn’t rule it out, but it’s not necessarily the best solution. We know that he risks losing his place in the first two waves of the power play. At his salary, we can’t have him playing exclusively at even strength, so expect a one-man shortage. Being an undisciplined team doesn’t automatically mean failure. After all, the Panthers just won the Stanley Cup with the most penalty minutes in the NHL (843). Let’s be honest: the Canadiens are not the Panthers. Martin St-Louis’ troupe will have to avoid stupid penalties. spacer title=’Overtime’] – No team wanted him.

– Too bad.

– I think so.
