SUNRISE | Offensive hockey fans were well entertained. With eight goals scored in the first 10.5 minutes of the game, it felt like watching a garage league game.
“It’s like we’re playing boat hockey when they’re playing for a playoff spot. This is not acceptable on our part. »
– Nick Suzuki
Samuel Montembeault and Jake Allen paid the price for this one-sided offensive feast. But they are far from the only ones who should take the blame.
“They were our best players all season. They are the ones who have been the most consistent. Tonight we let them down. You can’t give a team like the Panthers that many quality scoring chances. »
– Nick Suzuki
When the fans saw the action, the Canadiens players in turn experienced real ordeal.
“It’s a game to forget. Apart from our first presence, everything went on their side. It wasn’t pleasant to be there. »
-David Savard
Despite her three goals in the first period, the Canadian seemed far from the game. It took him half the game to pull himself together.
“We should rest. Yesterday we were free, this morning we didn’t have any training. So we had no excuses to be soft. After five minutes I think we were still looking for our legs. »
