Florida announcer after they scored the 2nd goal: "Reinhart scored for the insurance goal".
This age like milk. How did you know genius?🤡🤡🤡
Not one to blame so much but Tarasov just cost us 2 points when we could’ve tied Montreal in the standinga still got the 1 point
The young Habs beware. So fast and talented 20-21 years old. Marchand's cheap shot on Matheson.
F’n Refs a bunch of Tossers
How can the 2 teams I dislike the most, have the best coaches? Him and Cooper are absolute gentlemen.
How can they coach some of the most classless players? 😅
Habs are the globetrotters when they're skating. And to think, missing one of our best D and an entire 2nd line. 3 starting centers hurt.
Almost 2 years since the panthers have beat the canadiens. This team gives them trouble and its kinda an elephant in the room
