Right.

They are six and oh following a loss.

And today, a lot of the players were talking about pace, pace, pace.

Not just so much what the Canadians need to be their pace, but just dealing with the frenetic, relentless pace of Carolina.

And you'll see this mostly, it's on best display when Carolina takes a penalty.

I mean, it doesn't feel like a penalty kill.

They put two guys on the puck.

They are so incredibly quick at closing the gaps and taking away the time and space, and Montreal's barely had a sniff on their four power plays in this series.

I think that's got to be a big adjustment, you know, moving forward for Montreal to have a shot.

We remember the Buffalo series, how important that power play was, and they're going to need some help.

They can't do it all five on five against a very good Carolina team.

I think that's probably the right assessment.

He certainly was holding his cards close to his chest.

But having said that, I mean, look at what happened when they gave up those four goals in whatever, eight minutes.

I mean, it was just everything was a stretch pass, a tip pass, and a breakaway, essentially.

And they were just closing those gaps.

Slavin was very unslavin-esque in game one, minus four.

In fact, Brindamore, and I was actually surprised in the postgame,

news conference, one of the reporters asked him about Slavin's performance, and he's like, yeah, that's the worst he's ever played, essentially, is what Brandon Moore said.

It was like a one-off.
