TSN Radio 690’s Mitch Gallo breaks down Game 2 between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning.
Dach was invisible through the first six periods of the series, and then stood out for all the wrong reasons in overtime. He had the shift of all shifts, in the worst way possible, making four costly mistakes that ended up costing Montreal the game.
It started with him chasing his man, allowing the Lightning to build speed through the neutral zone and gain clean entry. When the Canadiens regained possession, he turned the puck over. He then got it back and iced it. Off the ensuing faceoff, he got turnstiled, which led directly to the game-winning goal.
It was already becoming difficult to justify his spot in the lineup beyond his size, and performances like this won’t help. While Montreal’s top guys have had their moments, all of the production has come on special teams. With the series shifting to the Bell Centre, Cooper won’t be able to dictate the matchups. It should turn into a pretty fun game of cat and mouse between the two coaches.
He’s been shot out of a cannon, is Montreal’s most physically engaged player, in a group that already brings plenty and he’s driving the Lightning crazy while scoring timely goals. Anderson brings an element Montreal has been missing for a long time. At this rate, he might even be earning himself another contract in Montreal based on what he’s done over the last two postseasons.
And it’s no coincidence he seems to love playing Tampa Bay, he has 10 career playoff goals, and half of them have come against the Lightning. Mitch Gallo is co-host of ‘Campbell vs. Gallo,’ as well as Canadiens pre- and post-game coverage on TSN Radio 690 in Montreal. You can follow him on ‘X’ at
