Wilde Horses
The Canadiens have been led by one line the entire season. If the club is to build something this season, they need a second line. One may be emerging. Brendan Gallagher and Mike Hoffman on the wings for Christian Dvorak are looking like they’re starting to know where each other is on every play.
Dvorak is an unusual player. He is so phlegmatic as a person, you have to remind yourself that he truly cares. He just doesn’t show a lot of emotion. In Columbus, he made a sublime pass to set up Gallagher for a goal. Tonight, it was Dvorak that finished the play.
He tapped it in when Gallagher was creating all of the havoc in front of the net, but was too tied up to finish it. Hoffman has been scoring goals like he can in the last half dozen as well.
This type of hockey is all fans want this year: an exciting team to watch most nights with promising players doing talented things, while understanding it’s a rebuild. Fans know that there will be losses. They just want to be entertained.
They also want to see young players playing well to create the feeling that the following seasons are full of hope. That means success for the top line who are all young players. Kirby Dach is better than a point-per-game since joining Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. Suzuki with another two points is on pace for a 105 point season a quarter into the campaign.
Caufield on the power play from his favourite spot on the left side from 20 feet out scored his 10th goal of the season. With an extra attacker on, Caufield counted his 11th goal after the Canadiens created 55 of the most exciting seconds of hockey in two years.
