That second point is key. Here are the Habs leaders in giveaways, and giveaways per 60 minutes. No surprise that Dobson, Hutson and Matheson lead the team in giveaways.

I think the one shot in the first 13-and-a-half minutes of the third is also a big cause of concern. Down by a goal, and that's all you can muster? Only seven shots in the last period, and two of them in the last five seconds. That won't win you many games.

He is one of the best at stopping clearing attempts from leaving the offensive zone. Keeps pressure on the other team's defence when he does that. Reminds me of Ray Bourque in that way.

1- It messes up the lines. You put the first two out, then the next two. If you put three out, on your next shift, you are putting out one fresh D and one tired D. Instead, the next shift has two fresh D.

2- The Dman isn't used to playing forward, which is where they would go on the PK.

It's also amazing that McCaffrey hasn't missed any games yet.

Despite losing Burrows early, I am third in points for, but dead last in points against (by 70 points over the guy with the second most points against, heading into today). It's led to a middling 6-4 record.

I think it will be Dobson that gets promoted.
