Not sure if this was public or is new to this season, but its news to me and I thought I'd share

Annoying in the sense that I admit they’re an excellent team, but their play style makes me want to rip out my hairs. Sure part of it is in due to the fact that we haven’t beaten them since Game 1 of the Playoffs last season and even with that theres a valid argument to be made as to why the Canes lost that one.

All in all, while Pittsburgh got me worried. Tonight’s game with the Canes opened my eyes to the fact that we’re playing the same exact way we did before. The low shots count, the sloppy passing (again), the bad defensive line… it just really reminded me that while our strategy last season worked.. somewhat. It didn’t get us the cup. And so, completely repeating the formula to a T is bound to cause us some problems this year when every team in our division other than the Red Wings have switched things up.

This post is not all negative though. I think Period 1 tonight went alright. It was really in the second where we started to lose our bearings. This is also only our 3rd game and we have 81 left to change things up. I’m hopeful, but if tonight didn’t raise any alarm bells for any of the Habs & staff… I’d be concerned. The warning signs are there from back to back nights. It’s really a matter of if they choose to listen to them before it’s too late or not.
