The games in the West, due to the time difference, are usually hard to watch, especially since the Canadiens often struggle to make a good impression.
However, this was not the case last night, as the Tricolore fought to the end. They eventually lost the match in a shootout, against the Stanley Cup champions, after clearly having an advantage on their ice.
The game's goalkeeper, Samuel Montembeault, who shone in the loss with some exceptional saves, including a superb one in overtime, also said that this is the same message the head coach gave in the locker room.
As reported by journalist Anthony Martineau, the CH was in good form last night, and they proved they could compete with the best teams in the league.
After nine games, St-Louis' men have a record of 5-2-2. I can confidently say that no one would have predicted this, especially after the loss of a key player like Kirby Dach.
