Montreal Canadiens of Stanley Cup qualifiers was eliminated in five games by Washington Capital.
Canadians infiltrated the qualifiers as the eighth, as they had the amazing second half of the season. However, Montreal was exaggerated as Canadians were unable to keep up with the capitals, who moved to the victory of a series.
“It is disappointing,” said veteran striker Brendan Gallagher. “I felt everything that every game was something or two things that were the difference, and this is part of learning. You should go through this. It was for most of our group the first experience here, the things that you should go through, and a lesson you should not learn again.
After eliminating Montreal, there were three players who were disappointed more than others.
3 Montreal Canadiens players who disappointed you more in 2025 of the NHL qualifiers
#1, Patrick Lane
Monreal Canadiens has taken a bold step to gain Patrick Line in a season to try to help their crime.
The previous second comprehensive choice is known as snipers, but its lack of defensive ability and work ethics has knocked.
In the qualifiers, Laine only played in two games and had one help, but she was -2. He ended up scratching due to an injury, but if Montreal will disturb Washington, Lynn needs to produce more crimes.
#2, Ivan Demidov
Ivan Demidov was playing in his first qualifiers in the Stanley Cup, where he first appeared in the NHL near the end of the season.
The Russian looks a future star because it has a great ability to make games and can also record. However, in the qualifiers, Dimidov showed experience.
Dimidov ended the series with goals 0 and 2 decisive pass. But it was also -5 because his defensive ability was always a question mark, and he struggled at the end of Montreal.
#3, Josh Anderson
Josh Anderson entered Montreal with Tom Wilson and played a material game, but what makes Anderson well is his defensive ability, and add some secondary registration.
However, against capitals, Anderson fought for production. The series ended with only one help and was -2 and was 20 penalty.
Canadians needed Anderson and other scorers deep to escalate to overcome Washington, but this did not happen.
