Montreal looked completely overmatched in Game 4 as Carolina dominated 43-18 in shots and continued to suffocate the Canadiens with their structured, relentless style. At times, the Hurricanes exposed the inexperience of Montreal’s young core while showing the payoff of eight years of organizational consistency under Rod Brind’Amour. Despite four straight home losses and a noticeably quieter Bell Centre, the playoff run is still providing valuable experience for the Habs’ future. Meanwhile, Vegas stunned Colorado with a sweep, continuing an incredible run under John Tortorella while piling up goals and benefiting from the Avalanche battling injuries and inconsistent performances. Colorado still feels like a contender moving forward, though looming front-office uncertainty, limited cap space and foot-speed concerns may lead to bigger questions about the franchise’s direction in the near future. Mitch Marner’s playoff success after leaving Toronto for Vegas has also become a major storyline, with Leafs fans frustrated watching him thrive in a deeper lineup where he no longer has to carry the team every night.
