Montreal Canadiens give one away in overtime, tabarnac.
You wake up this morning, maybe you went to bed early after a long day at the Marché Jean-Talon, and you see the score: Montreal Canadiens 2, Tampa Bay Lightning 3 in overtime. *Tabarnac*, right? Another point gone. It was a tight one on the road, 27 shots for our boys against 34 for Tampa Bay. The Canadiens, they showed some grit, especially on the power play in the first when Lane Hutson tied it up after Brandon Hagel opened the scoring. That goal from Hutson, assisted by Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, felt good, like we were taking control.
Then Josh Anderson, he gave us the lead in the second period, a beautiful play set up by Phillip Danault and Jake Evans. I thought, *this is it, we got this*. But then Kucherov, *of course* Kucherov, ties it up for the Lightning in the third, and suddenly you feel that pit in your stomach, you know? And then, just like that, in overtime, Jack Moser puts it away. Just like that, the extra point, it slips through our fingers. It’s always the way, n’est-ce pas?
This loss, it stings, especially when you think about the standings. The Montreal Canadiens are still 3rd in the Atlantic with 106 points, a good record of 48-24-10. But losing that extra point, it always matters. We were 7-3-0 in our last ten, and now the streak is broken. The boys need to regroup, find that fire again. The Bell Centre needs to feel the full force of our pride. The city, it’s a bit quieter this morning, like the steam from your St-Viateur bagel isn’t quite as hot.
Allez Les Canadiens — Go Habs Go. This is Amélie Boisvert.
