The watchword in the Habs' locker room has just changed.
While the management, including Jeff Gorton, didn't even want to say the "P word" not so long ago, now the Canadiens players are aiming for the playoffs as early as 2025.
We love it, and it's excellent for the team's culture.
It seems that the word "Playoffs" will be mentioned more and more with the Habs over the coming months.
Arber Xhekaj mentioned it, Kent Hughes mentioned it, and now Cole Caufield and captain Nick Suzuki have mentioned it.
We love it. Clearly, the young players won't be satisfied with moral victories anymore; they want to compete as early as this season.
Cole Caufield also made it very clear.
For the first time in a long time, winning will clearly be a priority for Martin St-Louis's squad, and the young players want to "move to the next step," as Kent Hughes mentioned recently.
And you, do you believe in the Habs' chances of surprising everyone and making the playoffs as early as next season?
Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield added that the return of Kirby Dach could change everything, along with the significant progress of the young players.
