Welcome back to PuckTalk MTL, where we break down the real story behind winning hockey.

In this episode, we go beyond star power and highlight what truly determines success in the NHL playoffs—and how the Montreal Canadiens stack up.

Coach analyzes the true playoff X-factors: depth scoring, shutdown defense pairs, egoaltending, faceoff dominance, and situational execution. History shows that championships aren’t won by talent alone—they’re won by structure, resilience, and role players elevating at the right moment. So who are Montreal’s difference-makers when the pressure rises? Which Habs players are built for playoff hockey, and what areas must improve to survive a seven-game series?

For Montreal Canadiens fans, this is a reality check and a roadmap. For NHL and hockey fans, it’s a deeper look at what actually separates playoff pretenders from contenders.
