Welcome back to the daily Hockey Inside/Out newsletter, where the Montreal Canadiens still can't solve the Washington Capitals. They blew a two-goal lead in a 3-2 overtime loss against Alexander Ovechkin's club.
"The Washington Capitals have proven to be the Canadiens’ kryptonite, dating back to last season’s opening round of the playoffs. Montreal made the postseason for the first time in four years. Glass half-full. But the Canadiens fell to the superior, bigger and more-experienced Capitals in five games. Glass half-empty."
"This year has been a little different. Personally, I don’t have a safe floor. Every day, I try to survive. That has been my story in the NHL. Try to survive and be here for one more day."
"It’s a role that I’ve been given and I feel like it’s still a big role on the team and so I definitely take a lot of pride in trying to be a leader on the PK to get things going in the right direction."
