Here’s the thing. Montréal was not the team we were likely to catch with so many games in hand. I knew it would be tough to beat them two in a row. 
 

Keep at it and we will catch Edmonton or Winnipeg. 
 

We don’t have to play Montréal again so hopefully they go on a tear and win some games against those other teams. 

Exactly, we're chasing Edmonton

Not Holtbys fault we lost.

we probably have about a 4% chance to make the playoffs now.

Means nothing.

 

2 weeks ago we had a less than 1% chance. In another two weeks we might have a 30% chance.

 

So many X factors with teams playing games every night.

This isnt Holtby's fault, he was screened on the goals but I do think that the team overall plays somewhat better when Demko is in net, but thats just me. 

Holtby could’ve had the last two. Not a great game on his end. Not gonna fault him in the shootout though, that Tatar deke was filthy.

[Jack Fig]

Messy game, lucky to get a point. 

[khay]

So no grounds gained both teams got 3 points in this mini series. 
 

Habs are 6-0-3 against us this season, as close to a season sweep as it gets. 
 

We have a problem with our system. Collapsing in front of the net is such an old strategy and doesn’t work if you don’t have an elite goalie and physically strong team that can hit to break the cycle and protect the puck and win board battles and most importantly, maintain possession in the offensive zone so as to not having to play defense for the whole game.
 

 We need the coaches to design a system that suits our player personnel. 

[SergioMomesso]

Now we need to keep the two teams closest to us to lose in regulation

All the hard work done on this road trip wasted.  Still 2 points behind habs.  
I know one should start the backup goalie in one of the back to back games in order to protect the starting goalie.  Totally understand.  But pls don’t start Holtby again until the Canucks knows how to limit the number on shots conceded.  Holtby is now just an average goalie.  Just look at the goals he has let in...

One point back not two...

Well, when the team is hamstrung by moronic decisions by their defensive strategist, this happens.

Don't understand why Vesey is getting so many chances already 

Green trying to see what he has in Vesey. So far I’m not impressed. He held out on a contract with Nashville thinking he was going to be the next Martin St Louis 

[canuck2288]

Team is still without any structure both offensively and defensively 

 

Can’t wait to get rid of this stale coaching staff

I count 2

Hopefully we get points in these two games against the Jets. Then all we can do is sit back for a week and see where the standings are. We'll have a better idea of our chances by April 1

[Toyotasfan]

I missed most the game, looks like we were lucky to get a point but actually winnable if Demko was playing.
