People thought the Canadiens were playing with house money, but they never did. On what they did this season, and how it’ll help shape their future👇🏻

Protas in.

Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky Gallagher-Dvorak-Anderson Newhook-Evans-Demidov Heineman-Kapanen-Armia Matheson-Carrier Guhle-Hutson Xhekaj-Savard Dobes

Based on warmup, Alex Carrier will play Game 5.

Alex Carrier and Jayden Struble both taking warmup for Habs.

Anderson and Gallagher sacrificed prime years of their career to shepherd their younger teammates through the first — and most laborious — steps of this rebuild, and paying them back for that has been a focus for the Canadiens this season. www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...

No Patrik Laine or David Savard for morning skate

Dobes and Primeau the only goalies on for Habs morning skate. Dobes doing starter’s routine.

On what the Canadiens showed in Game 1. “One thing I’ve learned about their coach, their team: This team will not go quietly into the night,” said Capitals coach Spencer Carbery, and he was right.

The Habs are back in the playoffs, and this just the start for them…

“You clinch a playoff spot and it’s not like you arrive here to collect a participation ribbon.”—Martin St. Louis

Good morning, Montreal! www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...

On Demidov, Slafkovsky, Hutson and Guhle 👇🏻 www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...

The Canadiens may have been just over 20% on the PP this season, but they were 28th in expected goals with the man-advantage. Structure, strategy and composition are all under the microscope ahead of this series👇🏻 www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...

On the job Martin St. Louis did this season, and how the experience of the final push prepares him for playoffs—and for a new era of Canadiens hockey 👇🏻 www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...

Martin St. Louis’s lucky tie a big factor down the stretch. A tie he borrowed from Brad Richards when they were playing together. Never returned it…

The Montreal Canadiens are going back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since making the Cup Final in 2021.

Now you know why all those people went to the airport…

A disappointing loss, no doubt. No moral victories. But the point the Canadiens got was earned, and that was important. Especially after a terrible game in Ottawa a night prior 👇🏻 www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...

Montreal is on the cusp of a playoff spot. And when the Canadiens were floundering in October, they never lost faith they’d find themselves where they are in April. www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...

Well, for context, Brian is sharing Mike Matheson’s response to my question to him at the golf tournament. I asked him what his advice would be to Lane Hutson, who was bound to make glaring and costly mistakes in accessing his incredible skill…
