Another overtime win: a throwback to 1993

As you know, this was the third straight game to go into overtime in this series. The Habs won the first and third, but the Lightning took Game 2.

But it's worth noting that this is the first time since 1993 that the Habs have gone to overtime three times in a row in a series. And just like in 1993, the overtime periods are being played five-on-five…

Hutson saying what he's going to do, Patrick Roy-style (who sometimes said he wasn't going to give anything away in front of his net)… overtime wins… a young, hungry team…

Is it just me, or does this feel a bit like 1993?

I'm not saying Nick Suzuki will hand the Stanley Cup to Brendan Gallagher like Guy Carbonneau did in 1993 because there are still 14 wins to go.

It's really just getting started.

But let's just say that right now, the mood in town is so great (thanks to Lane Hutson's goal, which changed the vibe of the weekend in town) that a lot of people might start dreaming.

It costs nothing to dream.

In a nutshell

– The third defensive pairing is doing an excellent job.

– Jakub Dobes is going to have to keep his cool. But despite everything, he's winning…

– The Habs won even though Métal was in the house.

– Enough with the broken sticks. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a shocking statement.

– The use of Scott Sabourin is causing a stir.
