They won 3 out of 6 games with a crappy power play.   (actually got 2 PPG last game)

I think the Habs biggest issue is the fact they played 4D for pretty much the last half of the game with not so mobile D except for Petry.   It hurt them bad in the OT, in which they were lucky to escape with a win.

Even being at 3-3, I have been extremely  unimpressed with Ducharme's personnel management (the system stuff he has run has been fine I suppose).

Remember he started the series with Kotak, Caufield and Romanov on the bench.   An odd move for an underdog that should be trying to get experience for these guys -- and its not like these guys had much better options.   JK has come in and played great, CC has played very well despite not much points showing for it.

And now Ducharme insists on playing Merrill and the worst defensive D in hockey in Gustavsson instead of Romanov -- and won't even play them when it matters.

If the Habs try to go with 4D for most of game 7 it will be a terrible strategy.
