Canadiens try to maintain focus one win from Stanley Cup Final

“It’s been a good run so far, but we’re still a long way from what we want to achieve,” forward Joel Armia said.

Stone symbolized the frustrations of Vegas in Game 5 when he smashed his stick after his giveaway led to the Montreal’s third goal, by forward Cole Caufield at 9:49 of the second period.

And they probably thought they were going to have more puck possession and do more stuff on the power play and stuff like that.

That blueprint had led the Canadiens to within one win of their first Final appearance in 28 years.

“We know the COVID stuff, but it’s fun to see at least the small amount that get into the arena,” he said.
