Despite an overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes Sunday, the Montreal Canadiens emerged with three points out of a possible four this past weekend, and remain in the final playoff spot available in the Eastern Conference.
I could write one of any number of takeaways from last night’s game, like Jonathan Drouin still not being engaged enough (maybe we aren’t being hard enough on him). Or Carey Price standing on his head, again. But, the game feels secondary when you realize that something much more significant was taking place as the Canadiens fought for their playoff lives.
