A powerful comeback for a deserved result for the Canadiens in Florida. Montembeault shines, the line juggling works, and the prospects are still raging.

One team wanted to win it in the alley; the other wanted to win it on the ice. And without a good goalie early, braun may have won it.

Also, what each player, the coach, the GM wants for Christmas as I have a bit of fun in this Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal.

A weird reaction to this trade. Habs are 30th in the NHL in goals allowed per game in a 32 team league.

They just brought in one of the best defensive centres in the league. The top lines have positive metrics and the back lines have horrific metrics.

He’s here for d-zone starts vs best players.

Extremely satisfying for the organization to have a 35-15 shot advantage and win with authority.

Also a thought on a seeming depth chart change perhaps in the making.

And how does the World Juniors look for the Canadiens?

Usually, I’m quite gentle, but the Canadiens are doing something that winning teams simply do not do. No better example than last night.

Also, big praise for a player levelling up every game, and a prospect on fire.

Two losses. That's the point at which an NHL team must recover to stop the bleeding. Teams with a lot of three-game losing skids often don't make the playoffs.
