If you don’t have the resources to play catch-up hockey, you need to know how to start the game at the same time as your opponent.

Apparently the Canadian players did not receive notice that the game started at 7 p.m. However, it’s not always bad at the same time.
“We had people who weren’t ready,” Martin St-Louis said. In this league it’s not easy when you leave like that. We weren’t on time, we shot ourselves in the foot.”
As the Habs failed to move the puck out of their own territory, the turnovers multiplied and it took 10 minutes before they had their first shot on goal. A shot reminiscent of Mike Matheson’s, the only one in the first period of the game against the Kings: a free throw.
It was the fifth time in a row that the Habs allowed their opponent their first goal. Another statistic that illustrates the difficult start to the games: The Canadian has now conceded 22 goals in the first third. He scored 13 points. We’re practically talking about the double.
“Yes, we worked hard to get back in the game, but we can’t keep digging our own hole,” Nick Suzuki said.
“We made stupid mistakes. We constantly lost the ball on the blue lines. We even scored a goal when we were outnumbered,” the Canadian captain said.

Even Gustav Lindström, who equalized against his former team, got off to a bad start in the game.
“We can’t start like this. We kept losing our battles for the puck. We offered them a lot of surplus. “Under these circumstances it is difficult to expect success.”
The Canadian saved his night by overcoming a 4-2 deficit in the third period. We can therefore congratulate him on his resilience and fighting spirit.
“The first half of the game was difficult but we found a way to stay in the game. In the third period, our numerical inferiority gave us the rhythm and we scored two important goals,” described Jake Allen.
In addition, during this signing Joel Armia achieved promotion to the front row and Josh Anderson picked up his first point in nine games.
“If he always played like that, maybe his job would be different,” said St-Louis about the use of Armia, who incidentally was the author of a shorthanded goal.
He wouldn’t have to take a detour via Laval to find his contact.
