  • What the Canadiens Must Fix Before It’s Too Late

    What the Canadiens Must Fix Before It’s Too Late
    Apr 29 2026
    The Montreal Canadiens pushed this series to 2-2, but after blowing a two-goal lead in Game 4, the margin for error is gone. In this episode, we break down what Montreal must fix before it’s too late: special teams, containing Tampa’s elite stars like Brandon Hagel and Nikita Kucherov, and getting more from key players like Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki, and the second line. We also discuss Lane Hutson’s impact and whether the Habs still have what it takes to shock the Tampa Bay Lightning and move on to Round 2. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
