The Montreal Canadiens were at their lowest point. They were down 3-1 in their first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and were coming off of a shutout loss in Game 4. It seemed like it was just a matter of time before they packed up their stuff and went home for the summer.
Carey Price was playing very well, but it seemed like another early playoff exit for his team. Despite his strong play, the team was unable to get goals and that’s not a recipe for success.
The team had four goals through their first four games.
