The Canadiens unable to qualify in a loss against Toronto

Crédit:

The Canadiens could have qualified yesterday by defeating the Ottawa Senators. Unfortunately, they didn’t succeed.

As early as tonight, in Toronto this time, Montreal could bounce back.

Here are the lineups:

What we had to watch was the start of the game.

In recent games, it wasn’t going well for Martin St-Louis’ team.

Luckily, they didn’t allow a goal in the first moments. In fact, they didn’t allow any in the first period.

A very conservative period and after 20 minutes, it was 0-0.

In the second period, with the score still tied, Kaiden Guhle accepted Max Domi’s invitation.

Guhle had just given two good hits to the opponents.

Like the first period, no goal was scored in the second.

Montreal had only seven shots…

The real hero of the game is Jakub Dobes. He made several spectacular saves.

He’s not perfect, but he’s a fighter!

He reminds me a bit of Jordan Binnington.

In overtime, he couldn’t do anything about Mitch Marner’s goal, however. It’s still thanks to him that his team earned a point.

Final score: 1-0 Leafs.

Martin St-Louis’ team will continue their season on Monday against Chicago. Probably Ivan Demidov’s first game.

For the second consecutive evening, the habs are unable to qualify officially. They will be able to do so tomorrow if the Jackets lose to Washington.

Overtime

It wasn’t a joke.

– It was close.

– It’s not the Centre Bell.
