Game 2 of the series between the Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins was about as disjointed as NHL hockey can get. The puck bounced up and down the ice and teams stumbled on their scoring chances more than they created them. Because there were so few of them, every clean occasion to actually build the offence became incredibly precious.
Normally, Montreal is the team that comes out ahead in this sort of chaotic matchup. They create turnovers, organize their rush, and pierce through the offensive zone to attack the net. But last night, for most of the game, they played shy.
