## Resource

Montreal Canadiens’ playoff run ended in heartbreaking fashion against Carolina, but the team’s leap from first-round exit to Eastern Conference Final shows real progress. Despite strong stats, top-tier offense, and standout goalie Jakub Dobes in key moments, playoff inexperience and quiet performances from key forwards exposed weaknesses. With cap space and tough decisions ahead — including goalie futures and RFA signings — GM Kent Hughes must navigate wisely. Dobes likely starts next season, with Montembeault’s future uncertain. Coach St. Louis has the roster to keep climbing, but reaching the Cup Final still demands evolution and depth. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
