Did you even sleep last night? I barely did.
Tabarnac, what a game. The Montreal Canadiens went into overtime with the Boston Bruins at the Bell Centre, and it was a battle, a real war, just like it always is. Pavel Zacha, that guy, he got two goals on us, one on the power play in the first, then another in the second. But we didn't back down. Our captain, Nick Suzuki, he tied it up in the first with a beauty from Juraj Slafkovský and Cole Caufield. Then, after Zacha’s second, Josh Anderson, he brought us back, with help from Lane Hutson and Brendan Gallagher. And then, in overtime, with the whole Bell Centre practically shaking, it was Cole Caufield, from Suzuki and Hutson again, who put it away. 3-2 for the Montreal Canadiens! You could hear the roar all the way to La Banquise! We had 28 shots, they had 31, but we got the win!
This wasn't just any win, you know? It was against *them*. It was a statement. The Montreal Canadiens are now 37-20-10, sitting third in the Atlantic with 84 points. That's a good place to be. Our last ten games are 5-3-2, so we’re getting hot at the right time. This win puts us on a streak, and it’s a big boost for the team, especially with what’s coming up. You can feel the shift in the air, the way the city wakes up after a win like this. The pressure is always there, sure, but this one, this felt different.
The mood in Montreal this morning? It's like the sun is shining extra bright on Rue Sainte-Catherine. Everyone is walking a little taller, talking a little louder. We beat the Bruins! It shows we can compete, we can fight, and we can win when it matters. This is the kind of game that reminds you why we bleed blue, blanc, et rouge.
Allez Les Canadiens — Go Habs Go. This is Amélie Boisvert.
