Three Takeaways from Montreal’s 6-5 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

Brought to you by Snap Bar Sportif in Rigaud!

1- Cole Caufield Is Making His Case for Team USA

Montreal’s premier finisher continues to rise to the moment — and his overall game keeps maturing. When the Canadiens fell behind 3–1 midway through the second period, it looked like the momentum was slipping away. Then Cole Caufield took over.
His game-tying goal was one for the highlight reels — a flash of elite hand speed and finishing ability that reminded everyone he’s more than just a shooter. And just minutes later, he struck again with the go-ahead goal, even though they couldn't hold onto the lead.

If Team USA is looking for another difference-maker ahead of the Olympics, Caufield is making a loud statement. He’s now tied for the league lead in goals — and proving he can produce in crucial moments against top competition.

2. The Third Line Delivers Yet Again
It’s hockey’s oldest cliché, but it still holds true: when things aren’t clicking, simplify. Get pucks deep, establish a forecheck, and grind down the opponent. The line of Brendan Gallagher, Jake Evans, and Josh Anderson did exactly that — and it temporarily changed the game.

Evans forced Darnell Nurse into a turnover, Anderson pounced for his first goal of the season, and from that moment, the ice tilted in Montreal’s favor. That line doesn’t just bring energy; it brings reliability and structure. Their north-south game has quietly become one of Martin St. Louis’ most dependable tools when the team needs a momentum shift.

3. Ivan Demidov Needs to Be More Selfish
Ivan Demidov has been a revelation — one of Montreal’s most dynamic offensive players through the early part of the season. But even elite young talents have areas to refine. For Demidov, it’s simple: he needs to shoot more.

He’s averaging less than a shot per game and too often passes up opportunities to test opposing goaltenders. It’s understandable — young players sometimes defer out of respect or caution — but a more assertive approach would make him even more unpredictable.

His one-timers have shown flashes, but haven’t quite connected consistently. Still, the potential is undeniable. Demidov’s playmaking instincts are exceptional, but adding a more confident trigger could elevate him from a gifted prospect to a legitimate top-line threat.

4- Yes the officials were awful and it's a big reason they lost but that's not a takeaway though... It was fairly obvious to anyone watching.

A message from Canada’s 22nd Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Stephen J. Harper.

Vote for Change. Vote Conservative.

Canada will never be the 51st state. Period.

We are a great and independent country.

We are the best friend to the U.S. We spent billions of dollars and hundreds of lives helping Americans retaliate against Al-Qaeda’s 9/11 attacks. We supply the U.S. with billions of dollars of high-quality and totally reliable energy well below market prices. We buy hundreds of billions of dollars of American goods.

Our weak and pathetic NDP-Liberal government has failed to make these obvious points.

I will fight for Canada.

When I am Prime Minister, we will rebuild our military and take back control of the border to secure both Canada and the U.S. We will take back control of our Arctic to keep Russia and China out.

We will axe taxes, slash red tape and rapidly green-light massive resource projects to bring home paycheques and production to our country.

In other words, we will put Canada First.
