This game is precisely the reason Habs fans have every reason to be concerned about getting bounced in the first round, despite sweeping the Rangers and despite Carey Price's career record against them. The commentary that is was a meaningless game, they didn't need to try, no way Jose.. They played many games like this during the season, and several seasons previously, painstakingly tedious to watch (full disclosure, I fell asleep but awoke in time to watch Rich Hill's five innings of two hit ball), Dwight King missing a wide open net from a foot away, Phil Danault passing to the periphery when he had a perfect shot lined up in the slot, a once or twice a game opportunity type shot. Just bad execution.

And Vigneault, who is not to be discounted, might just have something up his sleeve.
