    SETBACK: Habs Drop ANOTHER Game 4 On Home Ice, Series Heads to Buffalo Tied | Let's Nitpick!

    2026-05-13 | 31 mins.
    The Montreal Canadiens have lost three straight game 4s on home ice. Is this just rotten luck or a pattern developing?

    Ian Boisvert breaks down the Habs loss in game 4 against Buffalo that sends the series back to Western New York tied up at 2. Buffalo got a very fortunate bounce, but the Habs can make the Sabres' lives more difficult in the meantime. After yet another game 4 loss on home ice, Ian discusses whether or not there's a trend or if this just a fluke. And finally, with a series that is still well in play for Montreal, let's nitpick some things we want to experiment with as this series barrels towards elimination games.

    06:21 Unlucky bounce

    09:13 Buffalo Sabres defensive strategy
