The Montreal Canadiens kicked off their pre-season on Monday night against the New Jersey Devils, losing 2-1 at the Bell Centre. As losses go, it wasn’t the worst we’re likely to see this season, and there were some performances that suggest the season may not be as painful as it could be.
For one, we may be in for quite the revenge tour from Cole Caufield this season.
Okay, “revenge tour incoming” is perhaps a tad strong as a takeaway from a tune-up game. But a lot of us are thinking it, and expecting something special coming off the 2021-22 season where he was on fire after Martin St-Louis took over the bench.
