The Montreal Canadiens could not have been any clearer about setting the tone for Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Not only did they win last night’s game 2-1, but they showed the Leafs that they’re ready to bring their speed and physicality up a notch, which is what ultimately allowed them to win – other than the “absolute wall” in net, as Josh Anderson said, talking about Carey Price.
Head Coach Dominique Ducharme had also received a lot of criticism regarding the lineup.
