One of the more well-known press conferences held by NFL head coach Bill Belichick is one following a loss, where he answered every question saying the team’s focus is on their next game, against the Cincinnati Bengals.
For the Montreal Canadiens, it’s not Cincinnati but another city in Ohio that their focus shifts to after their dominant 6-1 win over the Florida Panthers: Columbus.
In an 82 game season, the words “big game” and “must-win” are used to make some games feel more important. When you get to the second half of the season, the vernacular adds “four-point game”, a game where the swing is, you guessed it, four points.
