Après avoir décroché une place en séries éliminatoires lors de leur dernier match de la saison, les Canadiens sont récompensés par un rendez-vous avec la meilleure équipe de la Conférence de l’Est, les Capitals. Le directeur du Scoutisme TSN Craig Button a rejoint SC avec Jay Onrait pour discuter de la victoire des Habs et de leurs chances contre les Capitals.

Never forget that Craig Button said the Habs wouldn't win a single game against the Leafs in 21' playoffs.
Dans le mélange et plus loin encore!
Great 8 vs " DemiGod " ?
One picking up speed and the other slowing down….Eller wants redemption but will Laine keep up the surprisingly recent pace moving the puck and engaging instead of standing in the circle waiting for a one timer ? Seems Suzuki doesn't want to get outshined by Demidov and it has created a small friendly rivalry among the team. The ingredients are there to beat the Capitals , and I give the edge to Montreal when it comes to goal tending.
I say Habs in 6 games…Ovechkin is home sick and drained getting the scoring title.
Habs dont have no pressure
"Fool me twice…shame on…y….fool me you cant fool me again" lmaoooo
Doesn't matter. The fact that they made the playoffs is an accomplishment to be commended.
Habs to Craig: challenge accepted 😂
The Habs rank 17th in the league and were only a few points away from being out of the top 20. Let's not get too excited.
Habs in 6 🤞
Zero their chances are zero
They go as far as Montembeault brings them.
I hope Ottawa sweeps the leafs lol and i hate Ottawa
Playing with pressure that you should win (wash) vs the underdog without pressure (Habs) will be a big factor
Craig the clown is lost when it comes to predictions on the Habs ! give it up
As a Habs fan I'd say we might win 2 games. Too many weak spots yet. Monty can be great or so so. Matheson will continue to screw up although he was'nt bad last night. I wish Marty would get over his hatred of Arber because the playoffs are usually rough and we don't need Hudson or Caufield getting drilled. Arber keeps the liberties taken by other teams lower. But overall I wanted to see progress this season and they have done that. So enjoy a deserved taste of playoff hockey boys ! GHG
Craig's premonitions always jinx whoever MTL is facing in the playoffs.
Habs have less pressure going in, Caps unless they get Thompson back will be vulnerable in nets.
I think we can pull off an upset, if Arber plays 😊
Washington may be a bit bigger, but Montreal is far grittier.
Everyone talks about the caps playoff experience but some of the players on the Habs have been to a final and even one of them one a cup so experience there too!
Montreal won very few faceoffs against Carolina last night. 😮
Hopfully all ambition has left the Caps after Ovi's Chase. not a habs fan, but still cheering for them and Ott in the east
They didn't just upset them. Came back from down 3-1. The Halak show. Legendary.
Dobes could be our Halak this year
All depends on the version the HABS will show up:
– The version at the very end of the year where they couldn't win a game they should have won to clinch playoffs = Washington in 4 or 5
– The version right after Christmas and right after the 4 nations tournament = Habs in 7
I don't believe Habs will put it off, despite being a fan.
Montreal showed a lot of heart in the last game of the season needing at least a point to make it and they did. Montreal is very steaky though hot and cold constantly and Washington is just to much of a power house. I say Caps in 5 but a couple of the Washington wins will only be by a goal.
Clip it. I hope Button is wrong again. Habs in 7🎉🎉🎉
U make the playoffs u have a shot
Zero chance.
I wouldnt take Craig Button's argument with Habs playoffs chance of winning… LMFAO
Habs are on a roll. They are playing some good hockey. Could be a dark horse in playoffs. Young and fast.
There is always a chance but at best Montreals is slim to none.
Habs in 5
Go HABS Go let's have a solid series
So you’re telling me there’s a chance!!!
no halak lol
Habs we’re a little smoke and mirrors this season and that won’t last in the playoffs but next 5 years they will be much tougher to play against. Still need a little more grit and size.
4-2 caps at best but prob 4-1
Ok Button is the least insightful analyst in hockey…never really says anything original but somehow still on air.
As Habs fan, I am not all under any illusion that we have a chance in this series. As a matter of fact it's likely going to be WAS in 4. There is no pressure here. We are playing with house money. If we win one I'll celebrate the W like we just won the Stanley Cup. That being said, let me warn the Washington Capitals – don't sleep on a young team with nothing to lose.
It's going to tough for Habs Washington are a strong consistent team!!
Montreal is a team and playoffs are a team sport…Everytime Montreal gets in as 8th seed, they surprise.
