If the second game on Wednesday night is not a win for the Canadians, then the third game on Friday will definitely be.

Although Montreal defeated Tampa Bay in the second game of the seven-game two-win series, it still lost the game 3-1 (if you haven’t watched Blake Coleman scores,What are you waiting for? ) And fell behind 2-0. So what should the team do now?

“We just need to keep going. I think we have 40 shots or any number of times from the previous game. Go on to get there and get into (Andrei Vasilevsky’s) face,” Taylor Tofrey said, and then Added: “I don’t know, score.”

In this series, the Canadians’ scoring is very important. The team scored only two goals in the game against Vasilevskiy-a Jeff Petri shot hit two Lightning players and a powerful shot from Nick Suzuki. But they got shots, a total of 62 shots, including 43 shots in the second game.

One thing that can cheer up the team is the return of head coach Dominic Ducham, who missed the 3-6 game against the Golden Cavaliers, and missed Stanley after testing positive for COVID in June. The first two games of the Cup final. Although he is happy to come back, he doesn’t think things need to be adjusted.

“No, I don’t think this is the time to make major changes,” he said on Friday. “Look at the last game. Except for five or six games in the game, we won’t change too much. So we have to make sure to accept what we did and get a little better… We know we We didn’t play well in the first game, we knew we had a lot of room for improvement, but now we have played the type of game we want to play, we know we can do better and we will make a difference .”

Ducharme returns to the Canadians, but the Chargers will miss Alex Killorn again. The second-line winger blocked a shot from Petri in the first game and hasn’t played since a shift in the third quarter. This is a huge loss, because he is not only a key forward, but also the first strong player, and can complete a penalty shootout.

The other missing part is the crowded arena. The Canadian requested to increase the capacity of the Bell Center, but was refused. In the first final in Montreal since 1993, there will be only 3,500 fans in the building, and thousands of fans are expected outside.

“Disappointing. Very disappointing,” Ducham said. “Although this may be a way of rewarding those who have been vaccinated twice, it may also be a way of incentivizing more people to get vaccinated. It may be a way of rewarding our fans, those who have experienced this. The way of the situation of the people. Isolate for 14 or 15 months and have the opportunity to participate in such an event. It is very special. Unfortunately, we will have 3,500 people inside, and there may be 25,000 people who will stand shoulder to shoulder outside. It is difficult to see the logic. “

When the Canadians tried to regain the lead in the series against the Chargers, Sports News had already taken all the action (All time in the east).
