Montreal is in the conference finals. Brian Wilde has more on Game 4, and what's ahead for the Canadiens.
Only two times in the history of the NHL playoffs has a team won a first series with a sweep and lost the second series with a sweep. That’s what was in front of the Winnipeg Jets, if the Montreal Canadiens could continue their improbable run of victories.
Now to the new players doing so much. Cole Caufield is absolutely dynamic on the power play. He is extremely difficult to take off the puck as his panic metre seems set to zero. Erik Gustafsson, for all of his faults defensively, is an absolute quarterback on the power play.Gustafsson is finding options so easily. He also scored the power play marker to get the Canadiens on the board. When you have a good power play, it isn’t just the extra man for two minutes that makes the difference.
He is also becoming a player who finishes every check. Kotkaniemi isn’t enjoyable to play against anymore. You see Kotkaniemi coming and you know you are about to be smashed into the boards. It wears your opponent down.
