#GoHabsGo 3 Stars for this playoff run:
1st Star: Jakub Dobes
2nd Star: Lane Hutson
3rd Star: Ivan Demidov
2 rookies and last years Calder Trophy winner.
End of a season is always sad for 31 teams.
These Habs are just getting started.
Don't listen to the armchair GMs on social media. This team is special and going places. The experience from last year got us this; next year will be that much better.

@DrakeMT They gave all they had in Tampa / Buffalo. They've played more hockey than anyone else this season. They're at the start of their contention window.
Not to mention the hardest group of matchups that anyone faced in the playoffs.
This isn't the end, its the beginning.
@sualbu@BlainPotvin_THW@HabsUnfiltered The western conference games have been tamer physically for years. Itβs very noticeable in the first round when you go from watching Florida v Tampa and then go watch Edmonton v LA. Completely different games.
The east is brawling and the west actually gets to play hockey
@poitrasenator@StuCowan1 If you actually watch the clip he starts to stop as soon as Lyon covers the puck and is turning to go behind the net until he gets punched in the face
@StuCowan1 Benson not getting called for at least 3 two-handed slashes and a handful of full punches in that scrum at the end of the period is a choice
