The Montreal Canadiens would obviously love to have their Head Coach back as they look to finish the 2023-24 season strong, but it's very understandable why he is away from the team, with fans seemingly all respecting the decision.
Hard fought 7-3 win vs SPA. Hard to be happy as our friend and teammate Mason left the game in the 3rd after a scary collision. Good news is he's going to be okay but it takes an emotional toll. Have to do our best to re-focus and get ready for a battle tomorrow vs MSC at 8am.
