Montreal’s Last Stand Against Carolina

Montreal Canadiens face elimination in Game 5 against the Carolina Hurricanes, down 3-1 in a best-of-seven series — their first such hole all playoffs. Carolina’s been dominant, especially after a brutal 3-game skid, including a shutout in Game 4, while Montreal’s been outshot badly. The series reflects two different paths: Montreal battled through two seven-game wars, while Carolina cruised to the East Final. If Montreal loses tonight, it’ll be 32 straight seasons without a Canadian team lifting the Stanley Cup — the last time was Montreal in 1993. The pressure is on.
