But again, those are adjustments that you make from game to game.

Montreal won game one, three, five, seven.

Tampa adjusted in two, four, six.

And then it was a back and forth in the first round.

Adjustments, adjustments, adjustments.

You need to make adjustments defensively now.

But Marty's right.

I was worried about Montreal's defensive zone coverage against Buffalo because Buffalo is really good at cycling the puck high and low.

And I feel like other than a few shifts in the second period, Montreal did pretty good at their man-on-man in the defensive zone.

I think Thompson was struggling with the puck.

And when he's struggling with the puck, you could see it.

Like, he's so good toe-dragging in tight spaces through the neutral zone.

There was a couple moments in that game.

Like, he's got the puck in the neutral zone.

He's losing it.

He's getting it back.

He's losing it again.

Like, okay, what's going on there?

The power play is a big, big way for, especially Tate Thompson, to gain confidence, to gain feel for the game.

Well...
