You can think of a lot of puns for tonights Montreal Canadiens game. The Florida Panthers can claw the playoffs from the Habs minds or pounce on the rest of the team’s season. Those weren’t the best examples, but you get the point. If the Habs lose this game in regulation, they will be officially eliminated from playoff contention.
Now that’s not news to anyone regardless of what team they support. Montreal has been out of it for the majority of the season, and it would’ve taken the most Cinderella of runs to get them into a playoff spot.
