The Canadiens are down in the series 3-2, a situation they have found themselves in their last series against the Washington Capitals. Our Canadiens site, Habs Eyes On The Prize, warns Canadiens fans that the Penguins are not the Capitals though:
Canadiens Should Be Warned The Penguins Are Not The Capitals
In the Washington series, with Montreal trailing 3-2 after five games, the Habs were oddly in control as they were managing to stiffle the Capitals, and that opponent acquiesced by continuing to believe their group stratagem needed no fine tuning.
The Penguins are not the Capitals, folks.
Pittsburgh are one step ahead of the Canadiens after putting forth an impressive Game Five performance because tactically they are a multi-pronged adversary, capable of making adjustments at both ends so adeptly that it requires a certain step back to see the tinkering for what it is worth.
The Canadiens have a chance to even the series and send it back to Pittsburgh on Monday night.
