It's obvious now...

And that's what it was like.

It wasn't perfect here tonight, but we found a way to win in the third period.

And that's really what it's all about.

And again, like the beginning of this game, it did remind us of the beginning of our last game against the Sharks, right? Where the young celebrities scored just right at the beginning.

The beginning of this one is Bedard, right? But I think that like there was definitely some luck with this one where, you know, the Blackhawks did get some posts against us.

They did have those power play opportunities.

We did take too many penalties in this one.

We have to say, again, they went zero for five.

If they're scoring in this one, it's changing that dynamics in that game at third period.

But we're able to really persevere.

That's what it's all about.

And really was about getting in that four check just in the third period.

It was such a masterclass of just making really great decisions with the puck.

and again, just getting after it.

We've gotten that identity a little bit more in the second, and then truly execute on the third, which for me is important, not just in this game, but going forward.

We know for Montreal Canadiens fans, you guys are the smartest fans in all of hockey.

You know that the Montreal Canadiens, they need to get the puck in deep.

That's what it really comes down to.

Even going back to last year, and they were able to get back to that identity in this game, which I think was just really just so important, the difference here tonight.
