Since the coaching change the habs have 7 wins in 9 games but what has changed?
Obviously the play of Carey Price is the dominating factor and it is directly due to a change in the defensive system. A more aggressive defensive style that allows Price to see the puck much better. I also have a personal opinion that Price simply didn't feel like playing his best for Therien. In the last 6 games, he has allowed only 8 goals and has a .951 save %.
They are also exiting the zone better, more down the middle.
A more aggressive fore-check is also getting to opponents. We saw it last night where Edler tried to get rid of the puck quickly and sent it over the glass.
The new additions definitely help. A big 4th line gives Montreal that part of they game that they didn't have in a long time.
The way things are going, I wouldn't want to face the Habs in the first round.
