The pain of Brendan Gallagher's final months with the Canadiens won't soon heal.
But he'll carry that feeling until the next opportunity to pull new teammates into the fight arrives as his lifelong pursuit of the Cup continues. (@EricEngels) https://t.co/PlKUSX59tm
Brendan Gallagher on this #Habs team: "this is a group that really cares for each other... they're going to keep working at it and I wish them nothing but the best. You go through as much as we have, you're bonded for life and I'm certainly very proud to watch them."
Ivan Demidov confirms that his priority will be to sign as long and as early as possible with the Habs:
“I like this city, I like this team, I like all (my teammates) and our management…”
“I wanna stay here.”
Lane Hutson mentions that he and Ivan Demidov have had conversations about Ivan's upcoming contract extension.
Hutson's given Demidov advice on how he handled the process.
Mentions how excited he and Ivan are at the prospect of playing together in Montreal for the next decade.
#Habs Ivan Demidov on the #GoHabsGo future: "it's a team who is going to win not only one [Stanley Cup] but winning a couple more - that's my expectation, it's what I see in this team."
If you’re a Habs fan I’m sure it stings today but let it sink in after a couple days how great your team did being the youngest team in the league. WAY AHEAD of schedule and this will be a constant in the Eastern Conference for years to come. Be excited Habs fans #Gohabsgo
Not many gave the #Habs a chance in RD1 vs. Tampa yet here they were still playing games at the end of May in the ECF.
As Martin St-Louis likes to say: “you can’t buy these reps.”
No doubt the youngest team in the #NHL will learn from this and be better for it moving forward.
