Illegal Curve:  Coach Maurice pre-game scrum (audio). Ready to get back at it?  Improvements to the team’s structure.  Believing in 3rd period success attributable to training camp.  On Ondrej Pavelec.  On Mathieu Perreault.  How much is their 3rd period success due to the fact they aren’t often chasing the lead.  On playing a Habs team that has wild 3rd periods.  Getting team collectively to buy into ‘ugly’ hockey.  As a coach is it important knowing core group bought in?
