Despite losses, Canadiens continue making gains under St. Louis
MONTREAL — We promise this won’t be a rant about moral victories, especially with the Montreal Canadiens having dropped their 10th consecutive game.
Even if they showed their best of this week in what turned out to be a 5-3 loss Sunday to a Buffalo Sabres team no one would label a world-beater, it wasn’t good enough and the result reflected it. Too many costly errors, not enough chances capitalized on, yet another loss.
So no, this isn’t about wins of any kind.
But it doesn’t have to be, because the rest of this infernal Canadiens season isn’t about wins either.
It’s about gains. And this team, under new coach Martin St. Louis, is making them.
It will take time before those gains offset the deficits, but there’s been linear progress since St. Louis stepped behind the bench on Thursday, even in spite of a 5-2 loss that night, a 2-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets and this 5-3 loss to the Sabres on Sunday.
We can see it, and the players can feel it.
“I know it’s not fun losing,” said Ryan Poehling, “but it’s been a lot more fun.”
That’s probably the biggest gain—borne of a bunch of smaller ones.
Yes, losing with dignity is a gain. It’s something the Canadiens weren’t able to do over the last games Dominique Ducharme coached and something they frankly hadn’t done much of since Jeff Gorton arrived as executive vice president of hockey operations on Nov. 28.
They had losing well-covered. Doing so with dignity? Not so much.
But what’s made this change possible is a shift in the atmosphere. St. Louis pushed it in that direction when he addressed his team before his introductory press conference and had them eating out of the palm of his hand with his message.
It wasn’t just what he said, which we’ve only ascertained a vague idea of—he told them what he told us later that morning; that he had been through everything there was to go through as a pro hockey player and could relate to every single person in the locker room—but it was also about how he said it.
There was passion there. There was fire. There was positivity, which had been impossible for the Canadiens to come by for too long.
When St. Louis was asked how to maintain that with the results not falling in Montreal’s favour, he explained that the circumstances demand it.
“I’m not here, at this point of the year, to become a negative guy,” the 46-year-old said. “I’ll stay positive with the guys. I want to see them progress.”
That’s an approach that’s been responded to by the players with complete engagement.
You couldn’t point to one who was detached on Sunday, and that too was a gain.

});
The effort was cohesive, from top to bottom—from Corey Schueneman coming into the lineup for injured defenceman Ben Chiarot to Nick Suzuki, who centred the top line with Tyler Toffoli and Cole Caufield.
That cohesive effort was there for most of the game. The Canadiens gave up the first goal, they bounced back with the next one. They allowed the Sabres to take a 2-1 lead, and they responded 57 seconds later. They took a 3-2 lead on a great passing play, and then they committed some mistakes to give it back.
They didn’t wilt—Suzuki said they had been doing too much wilting previously. Instead, they pressed the whole way, including in the third period, in which they were outscored 2-0 but outshot the Sabres 13-8.
“We were playing on top of them,” said St. Louis. “In the third period, I felt like we had the puck for the majority of the period.”
Before the Canadiens got there, Jeff Petry scored just his second goal of the season—his first in 11 games. Poehling made a brilliant play from behind the net to give Joel Armia just his second goal of the season—his first in 18.
Schueneman made his mark, too.
He played for the Laval Rocket on Friday and Saturday, found out he was playing for the Canadiens roughly three hours before Sunday’s game. He made a heady play on Mike Hoffman’s goal to tie things up 1-1 early in the second period, and it was one of many he made in a game made easier for him because of a healthier atmosphere and an engaged, cohesive effort.
“I really liked his pace and his decision-making,” said St. Louis. “I told (Canadiens defence coach Luke Richardson) to trust him because he was impressing me.”
The coach said he’s liked Poehling’s last three games and pointed to some other things he’s liked.
“The result hasn’t been there and I have to be honest with our players,” said St. Louis. “But it’s been four very intense days with a coaching change and a new philosophy. I know we haven’t won in the last three games, but when I watch the games—not only live from the bench, but when I go back and watch—I feel we’ve done so many good things from what I’ve brought them. They’ve been able to execute these things rather quickly.
“I’m proud of the work and the way they’ve bought into the plan and what I’m asking of them, and we’ll continue to progress. There was a lot of progress over the last three games, it’s just we haven’t yet won. But we’re not far from turning this into wins and feeling better.”
Again, no moral victory there. But certainly a gain.

Did Corey LaJoie help or hurt his chances for a premier ride? | Fast Thoughts with Bob Pockrass
Which trend would hold? The Denver Nuggets remaining undefeated at home in the playoffs or the underdog Miami Heat being the team that won’t die?
That was the question as the NBA Finals teed up Game 2 on Sunday in Denver, after the Nuggets won comfortably in Game 1.
There were plenty of other subplots: would the Heat figure out how to at least make something difficult for Nuggets star Nikola Jokic? Would Jimmy Butler return to ‘playoff Jimmy’ form? Would the Heat role players show up? Would Jamal Murray keep doing his convincing Steph Curry impression?
Well, Miami won 111-108 as Jokic finished with 41 points on 16-of-28 shooting but was limited to just four assists as the Heat were more judicious in their double teams and took away easy passing lanes.

Butler didn’t exactly tear it up for most of the game, but he was a willing playmaker, helping find looks for his teammates. In the fourth quarter, he looked for his own offence more as he scored eight of his 21 points down the stretch while adding nine assists.
Meanwhile, Murray looked relatively ordinary as the Canadian’s streak of 25 points or more in the post-season ended at six games as he finished with 18 points and 10 assists. He did hit big three as part of the Nuggets’ 11-2 run late in the fourth that helped Denver turn a 12-point Miami lead to a one-possession game, but Murray missed a long three on the final possession that would have sent the game into overtime.
The Nuggets take the series to Miami for Game 3 on Wednesday after losing at home for the first time in 10 playoff starts, the series evened at 1-1.
Some takeaways.
Would Playoff Jimmy please stand up?
Butler has alternately looked like the best player in the world during these playoffs — he averaged 37.6 points a game in Miami’s five-game upset of the No. 1 seed Milwaukee Bucks in the first round — and just a guy.
A pretty good guy, but a long way from the second coming of Kobe Bryant.
Heading into Game 2, Butler – who scored just 13 points on 14 shots in the opener – was averaging just 20.7 points on 39-per-cent shooting over his previous six starts this post-season.
Not surprisingly, the Heat were just 2-4 over that stretch.

There were no signs Butler was going to change course in the early going. On possession after possession, the Nuggets would funnel Butler to the baseline, content to take their chances with him dribbling through the paint without even looking at the rim.
Normally it’s a compliment to say a player of Butler’s calibre wasn’t forcing anything, but not in this case as the Heat likely would have been happy to their star try to put his imprint on the game. Instead, when Butler hit traffic he’d make a harmless pass to the corner, the Nuggets would rotate and not much would happen.
It wasn’t like Butler was a non-factor: he finished the first half with 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting to go along with four assists, but in my view the Heat need Butler to be creating offense for himself if they’re going to keep up with the Nuggets juggernaut.
In the third quarter with the game separated by a three-point field goal, Butler got out on a break but fumbled the ball away when chased down by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. It’s just one play but not one that Butler would have made a month ago.
But Butler began to heat up in the fourth as a three and a three-point play gave the Heat a six-point lead that they stretched to 12. The Heat hung on from there.
The great undrafted
The collection of undrafted role players the Heat have come to rely on to round out their lineup in support of Butler and Bam Adebayo came to play.
Miami jumped out to a 10-2 lead as Max Strus – 0-of-10 from three in Game 1 – hit a pair of quick triples early, taking advantage of some lax Nuggets defence.
Meanwhile, Gabe Vincent hit a pair of jumpers and showed why he’s been the right choice by Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra to supplant Kyle Lowry as a starter.

As the Nuggets chipped into Miami’s lead and then threatened to run away with things in the second quarter, it was Vincent who kept the Heat in touch after Denver cut the lead to three by the end of the first quarter and pushed in front by double figures in the second. Vincent hit a big three that kept the Nuggets’ lead at 10 and then a steal and three-point play helped the Heat come back from down 15.
Vincent wasn’t the only Heat role player to find a way to contribute early. Lowry hit a three as did Kevin Love, who started for an ill Caleb Martin.
Strus finished the first half with 14 points and Vincent 12. But the Heat still trailed at half, 57-51.
They didn’t stop there. It was Vincent’s fourth three that gave Miami its first lead in the fourth quarter and by that time Duncan Robinson – another member of the Heat’s undrafted brigade – was making plays too, nailing threes and driving to the rim as well for 10 points in a quick burst.
A Martin triple – his first field goal of the game – with just under four minutes left gave Miami a 12-point lead. In all, 50 of Miami’s points came from undrafted players.
Rocky Mountain Monsters
Jokic and Murray are at their best when playing together and working in concert to create scoring opportunities seemingly at will. Their cat-and-mouse, two-man game is likely the best in the NBA, with Murray doing a reasonable impression of Steph Curry and Jokic playing the role of Draymond Green if the Golden State Warriors centre could shoot better than 40 per cent from three and score 30 points a game at will.
Heading into the series, ESPN.com reported that Murray and Jokic had created 24.5 points per game directly from handoffs and on-ball screens when working in tandem, more than any other duo in the past five years. But each player can lift the team alone, too.

In the first quarter, it was Jokic turning up the offence as the rest of his teammates were slow to get into the game and it seemed like Miami might put the Nuggets in a deep hole early. He was 5-of-9 in the first quarter – Jokic took just one shot in the first quarter of Game 1 – while the rest of the Nuggets were 5-of-12 and Murray was 0-of-3.
But with Jokic on the bench in the second quarter, Murray began to heat up. In a two-minute stretch early in the second quarter, Murray hit a triple in transition, made a steal and scored a three-point play when he was fouled at the rim on his dunk and then hit an impossible fadeaway jumper over Adebayo at the end of the shot clock to put Denver up 12.
Not a lot of teams even have one player that can reliably raise their game in the post-season. Denver – in a sense – has three: Jokic and Murray together and then each of them on their own.
Murray’s playoff scoring average is 8.5 points more per game than his regular season average, the most of any player with at least 20 post-season games played, per ESPN.com. Second on that list is Jokic, who averages 7.1 points more per game in the playoffs than the regular season.
But give credit to Heat for adjusting. They stayed home on Denver’s shooters, taking away much of Jokic’s playmaking options and turning him into a scorer. By playing so much zone, a lot of Murray and Jokic’s two-man game was minimized — reflected by Murray’s reduced scoring and Jokic’s limited playmaking opportunities.
Random Jokic appreciation
There are almost no words to fully capture how good Jokic is at basketball. Whether he’s the best in the game now (I think so) or will end up one of the best of all time (he’s already on his way) is almost pointless to debate.
But what’s not an argument is how fun he is to watch figure out plays on the fly. In various sequences in the third quarter, he backed down Heat centre Adebayo – a perennial all-defence candidate – eventually winning a protracted, twisty, physical game of one-on-one with a delicate floater at the rim.

A moment later, he surveyed the floor and calmly drained a triple and why not? He’s shooting 47 per cent from three in the playoffs.
Adebayo then said ‘not again’ and fouled Jokic on an overly aggressive close-out, sending him to the line for three points.
Then Jokic picked up a loose ball just over half, winning a race for it against Vincent, and won another twisty, turny game of one-on-one against a point guard in space, finishing with another floater.
His most prominent skill is passing, but Jokic’s real genius is he can beat you (on offence, at any rate) any way he decides he needs to. He scored in the post with fundamental jump hooks, he scored ambling up the floor going end-to-end as the world’s biggest, slowest, best point guard.
He scored 18 points in the third quarter as Denver started the fourth leading 83-75 and it was a joy to watch.
And some love for Lowry
The former Toronto Raptors star isn’t worth the $28 million the Heat are paying him this season or the $29 million his contract calls for next season, a big reason why it’s widely expected that the Heat will try to use his contract in a blockbuster trade – possibly including Tyler Herro – to add another star this off-season.
But it’s not like Lowry can’t play. He still can make plays that only someone with his combination of hustle and IQ would even think about: plowing into a crowd of Nuggets on a missed free throw to get his hands on the ball, allowing the Heat to score a much-needed three, or an expert pocket pass to Adebayo for a lay-up, or some clutch threes.
Lowry finished with nine points, added three assists and was on the floor and +11 in the fourth quarter.
