The Montreal Canadiens did not look completely overmatched Wednesday night in a 2-1 series-opening loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. But once again, their offence is in need of a jumpstart.
Despite 29 saves from Carey Price, including one where he deflected a Scott Laughton shot with his stick while on his his stomach, the Canadiens could only muster one goal past Carter Hart. While there are many Habs players who could draw blame for not pulling their weight in the attack, the majority of vitriol and disdain has started to be pointed towards forward Tomas Tatar.
