Down 2-1 to Carolina, Montreal’s still showing grit — they’re outshot but dominating play and expected goals at even strength. The top line is finally clicking in the playoffs, proving they can compete at the highest level despite their youth. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
