That was a masterclass by the Habs from start to finish!

HABS WIN 5-1 1-1 SERIES BACK HOME FOR 2 IN MONTREAL SUNDAY #GoHabsGo

That was a helluva bounce back game! Zero passengers in this one as everyone was engaged!! Loved Carrier’s game, Anderson was more engaged, Bolduc smiling at everyone! Going back to Montreal 1-1 GO HABS GO!!!

Final: Canadiens 5, Sabres 1. - Lousy showing. The Sabres had one good player and he can’t buy a beer until next week. - The power play cannot continue like this. It’s a crisis. - The Gronk interview was insane. - Looking for an upshot: 2 goals against after guys with the puck blew a tire. Unlucky.

Alex Carrier with a perfect snipe which at first i thought was off the post & out. Habs restore the 3 goal lead. #Canadiens 4-1 Montreal

SUZUKI SEALS IT! 🚨🎉 Empty netter with 4:01 left, Habs cruising to a dominant 5-1 win! Snap shot from Nick, primary apple to Josh Anderson. Two points for the captain! Montreal Canadiens: 5 Buffalo Sabres: 1 #GoHabsGo

Final score: Sabres fall 1-5 to Montreal at home. Tough night in the barn, but we'll bounce back. 👎🏻😔 Next Game: Sunday May 10 @ 07:00PM vs. Montréal Canadiens (at Centre Bell)! Series tied 1–1 #SabreHood | #MTLvsBUF

For the first time in the 2026 NHL playoffs, the Montreal Canadiens won with breathing space when they dominated the Buffalo Sabres, winning 5-1 to even the second-round series at one game apiece.

I try not to say definitive statements about my team but I truly believe if the Montreal Canadiens can stay out of the penalty box they can beat anyone in the league. #Habs
