The Hurricanes Are the Favourite But the Canadiens Don’t Care

The Montreal Canadiens are heading to the Eastern Conference Final after another dramatic Game 7 win, but the challenge only gets tougher from here. Montreal now faces a rested Carolina Hurricanes team that swept its first two playoff rounds and will have home-ice advantage in the series.

In this episode, we preview the Habs vs. Canes matchup, break down what Montreal needs to do to slow down Carolina’s pressure game, and discuss whether the Canadiens can keep this playoff run alive. We also look at the biggest storylines, key players, goaltending, special teams, and whether Montreal’s regular-season success against Carolina can carry over into the playoffs after sweeping the season series 3-0 and outscoring them 15-8.
