i know it's not the ending we had hoped for and all started to really believe in, but i'm still so incredibly proud of this team for their performance this season.
yes, i wished they'd played with more intensity and more pride tonight, i do think they're tired after 2 series going to 7 games, but the hurricanes are a damn good shutdown team and i have to give it to them regardless of how much i despise them, they didn't steal this series.
this habs team has been incredible this year, and this playoffs run has been so great to watch, it's been unbelievable and i'm so happy and proud for them that they were able to make it to the conference finals.
this is year 4 of the rebuild, we have a good solid young core who's grown and matured so much just this year. we have hutson, caufield, slaf, demidov, solid (incredible) goaltending, amd great prospects in the pipeline. the kids are more than alright, and they'll be back stronger, especially with the vets we have and how the organization has been managing the roster throughout the rebuild.
i love this team so so much, not everyone will be back next year (and that's okay, i do think some changes have to be made on the roster) but i do think this team and this run have been really special.
they gave montreal, the city and its people a chance to live through a true playoff spring, with all the excitement, the emotions and the community that comes with that. sure, we had 2021 and that was so awesome to experience, but there still were many covid restrictions in place around gatherings, bars, and sports events at the time that it didn't feel the same. 2026 playoffs in montreal have been truly a gift for the fanbase and the city
tldr: i love this team so much. i'm so so proud of them, of how far they've come and how much they've grown this year. i'm super hopeful for the future and i excited to see what they do next. i hope they know how loved they are <3
