Sens were tentative, but now they have life. 0 for 3 on PP. Prust missed a breakaway in the 2nd period. Passes were bad, players were skating in mud, or their head in the clouds. It's like they were expecting to lose.

There's a reason why there's a W in Weise.

wow - two goals in two games against the great Craig Anderson. I'm blown away.
And that PP has now cost them their 1st PP game of the season. It's stunk all season and they keep doing the same stuff as if magically, it will start working.

No urgency? ...Anderson with another picnic....all the pressure on them to win game 5 ..... Blow it and this is going 7 and I would not be shocked if they lost 4 straight. As much as they have another level they also have a complacency factor which will bite them in the rear and it could be an embarrassing one.

series for the taking in the 3rd and they muster 7 shots. Pathetic.

PP at home in playoffs - 14.3%
PP on road in playoffs - 0%
Our PP is actually miles worse than it was in the regular season

I know I am as pessimistic as they come but the lack of urgency they show so often is a concern and now it shows up in the playoffs with a team basically saying we are trying but please shoot us and end it. Aside from Prusts break away did they have any real dangerous chances???... One two... No sustained pressure all perimeter perimeter perimeter....he'll they may not score another goal this series and that's no joke.
They better play their best 60 relentless minutes of the season or trouble is going to be brewing.

My fear is that after this letdown, they're going to be too nervous or tentative for the next game because they certainly don't want to blow their series lead. Ottawa didn't have their best game by far, and they managed to win. Now they have confidence. Certainly not feeling the "doom and gloom," but it's not the first time they've let teams off the hook. It's not like Ottawa came into the game and dominated.

When you have the chance to win a series , yes I expected a lot more. If that doesn't motivate you... One strong period would have been enough to win this game & the series.

for those who think the Habs will lose the series 4-3 . . . I'll take that action.
and I don't even bet.
otoh, $20 in Vegas will get you a pretty good payday if the Sens come through

This team has proven all the doubters wrong all season long, and it'll continue next game. The Bell Centre will be whipped into a frenzy, Carey will be his usual self, and a couple pucks will get behind Anderson. The end, bonne nuit!

I'm surprised with all the negativity. If I had told anyone before this series started we'd be up 3-1 after four games would anyone have thought that possible? We just ended up on the wrong side of a very close, tentatively played game. By both sides. We win this at home on Friday, I would think. Where's Bones?

Deserved loss, but not much going on in this one. Ottawa was only slightly better.
I think we all wanted to see a little more urgency.
Win at home, or it gets a little tense.

It's stunk all season and they keep doing the same stuff as if magically, it will start working. I was just about to post that....our non-existant PP has cost us a playoff game now. People say the Sens are scoring less....well, so are we. Easily the most anemic offensive push I've seen in any post-season game so far this year.

I'm usually the glass is half empty guy but i feel confident they will dominate the sens on Friday.
Bones... where are you bud!

Max is lost out there. Half step behind almost every play.
As far as I'm concerned, the next two power plays go to the bottom 6 guys. Top six aren't getting it done.

Never was a fan of an extra day between games in the playoffs.....especially when we have all the momentum.
It gave us time to lounge in Tremblant....and the Sens time to regroup.
Pacioretty is still in a fog.
Series is FAR from over.....

This game was a unique opportunity that doesn't come along often. They could show up for one period, win the game & win the series. Sadly they couldn't manage it.

I was all set to give Patches the C at the end of the season. His playoff performances are concerning though... I don't think I've ever seen him step it up in the post season.

If that doesn't motivate you... One strong period would have been enough to win this game & the series. So you think that teams up 3-0 should be more motivated than teams down 0-3? I don't understand, I think the opposite effect, especially at home.

Pacioretty is still in a fog. Starting to wonder if he is really ready to go. Is this injury related or just a slump at a really bad time.

The game was there for the taking - tied going into the 3rd. All it would have taken is one good period. Ottawa wasn't exactly dominating play.

True, but it's not as if those 3 games we've won have been landslides. Quite the opposite. We can't afford to put in a half-push like that....against anybody. We knew we could press them....but we didn't. Appeared to be a game played not to lose.

That was a real snoozer and to be honest I was expecting more from Ottawa. Habs were just plying for the one goal. No drive and effort. Disappointed.

So you think that teams up 3-0 should be more motivated than teams down 0-3? I don't understand, I think the opposite effect, especially at home. What I expect is for the team down 3-0 to go like crazy for a period, but miss a lot of chances because they're too tight, too worried and not at all relaxed. The team that's ahead 3-0 I expect to come out playing safe, weather the storm and start to turn it around. They're ahead, they're relaxed, but they know they can end it all so there's often more effort than we saw from the majority of the team today. Now, its not unusual for the down team to win a game and then lose game #5. The Habs still have a good lead, but you know, if they don't end it on Friday, I honestly believe they will lose the series. The Sens have a tiny flicker of hope now, but it will grow to an inferno if they win game #5. Then they only have to win 2 games and that's far from out of the question. So the Habs better come out with hard currency on Friday. I find I'm very disappointed tonight. We had one clear scoring chance the entire game and Anderson didn't even have to stop that. Pleks and Galchy had a good give and go with Pleks ending up with a decent shot from the high slot. Outside of those two, I don't recall a single good scoring opportunity. I did see us miss a ton of passes and just miss getting more good scoring chances. Always just a bit late or we'd hit a skate or leg or something and not get the puck through. Even if we win, I'm finding I'm not liking this team very much. I like defense as much as anyone, but I like defence that creates offense and we certainly didn't do that today. I like winning a few games by 2, 3 or 4 goals, not one goal. I'll take the wins, of course, but the one goal games are much more enjoyable when they're not the status quo. I guess we need better talent.

I again thought he was our worst forward. I was all set to call him our worst skater, but Gilbert (and his goal-costing turnover) trumps him. Price probably had his strongest game, and I think this one was really a toss-up. I'm annoyed at the reffing though, it seemed like you could get away with anything, including Neil with at least a dozen punches during scrums.
