A lot of Montreal Canadiens supporters were dancing in the streets last night after the Canadiens completed their sweep of the Winnipeg Jets and were crowned the Kings of the North. For the first time in seven years, Montreal is in the Conference Final and what’s fascinating is that absolutely everyone is chipping in.
Habsent Minded gathers a strong crew of four to discuss the overall impressions of Monday night’s game as well as the overall playoff run to this point.
Why is everything suddenly clicking for this team? What has happened to Dominique Ducharme’s confidence in the last few weeks? Are we finally witnessing the Canadiens we were expecting to see during the regular season?
