The Montreal Canadiens are not out of any game they play. Down 2-0 in Florida with under five minutes to go, the Canadiens found a way to grab both points. Ian Boisvert and Laura Saba break down yet another incredible late comeback by the Habs. This time, it was captain Nick Suzuki leading the way with the tying goal and the overtime winner.

What does that do for the Habs goaltending situation in the short and long term? And finally, with 2025 coming to a close, we reflect on the year that was for the Canadiens and what they have ahead of themselves in 2026. 00:00 Another Incredible Habs Comeback05:36 Marchand's Questionable Hit Analysis08:31 Suzuki Shines in Overtime Drama15:33 Montembeault Solid in Return19:28 Canadiens Rebuild and Player Development21:25 Canadiens’ First 100-Point Year Since 201524:37 Canadiens' Draft Gamble Pays Off28:31 Evolving Team Identity Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
