The Good:
Montreal’s Third Line consisting of Tom Fiddler, Bobby Lane, and Ricky Bobby combined with the second defense pairing of Olin O’Dowd and Zbigniew Pokrywka were able to make the only goal for Montreal in the first period. Montreal’s Penalty kill also did a decent job of a 75% success rate managing to shutdown Lethbridge 3 of 4 attempts. Montreal also leads the way with 26 hits once again showing their highly physical level of play they have shown this regular season. Lethbridge has been a rough matchup for Montreal the entire season and while the squad is heavily ladened with rookies we are still seeing standouts even in the tough battles against a strong Lethbridge team.

The Bad:
Mike Hunt while having a save percentage of .929 still gave up three goals and one of them on the power play. This on top of the fact that Hunt faced 10 more shots than Tegernako who only gave up one goal shows a gap in Montreal’s defense and the inability to generate an offense against Lethbridge consistently enough to win. The other bad part is the game was an absolute snore after the first period as never once do we see anyone come close to scoring again and both goalies manage to shutdown the ice after giving up the only goals in the first period.

The Ugly:
Montreal took 10 penalty minutes in the game with Zbigniew Pokrywka’s holding call allowing Liam Hutchinson to score a goal on the powerplay. The lack of discipline only seemed to escalate from there with the Russian rookie Alexei Rykov losing his shit within 43 seconds of the second period and going for a high sticking seeming to forget to play the puck and the nearest opposing skull. Capp Hatter then also got a penalty for roughing and Herry Morris IV getting a penalty for holding. Harris decided the sin bin was the place to be and returned in the third period for a hooking call. Rykov was especially embarrassing as he has played relatively cleanly and for someone who was at one point leading the rookie class in total points he needs to learn to channel his inner peace or face more penalties as he adapts to the much more aggressive playstyle we are seeing out of Montreal this season.
