The Montreal Canadiens are starting the 2019-20 campaign in dramatic fashion as they lose to the Carolina Hurricanes. It was an intense match as both teams came out of the gate in extreme fury. The playoff-like atmosphere and ambition both teams started the season with were extremely intense and much appreciated by fans from both teams.
The first period was what most people expected. It started fast, intense, and physical. Even though the Hurricanes scored first, the Canadiens held up and played up to the Hurricanes’ speed all period long. I was extremely impressed with Cale Fleury as he really stood out and proved to the coaching staff why he deserves to make the team.
