Here in your Sunday morning read. ☕️ ☕️
The #Habs swept the five game road trip with a shootout win in Jersey in Game 76.
habather.ca/2026/04/05/t...
Columbus is 12 pts behind with only 5 games left so they can’t catch the #Habs. So you’re right. Detroit, other than Ottawa, is the only other team that can catch them and win on the tiebreaker. But the #Habs are going to take care of this with a win tonight #GoHabsGo!

Basically what I'm saying is that yes, do celebrate the success, #Habs fans, but remain realistic: this is NOT sustainable in the long run, particularly not in the playoffs against top teams in a 7-games series. There's work to do in spite of the current success. #GoHabsGo
This season, the #Habs have a SH% of 13.2%, likely the best in the NHL.
During their 8-games win streak, their SH% sits at 15.3%. Outshot 31.1 SA/GP to 25.3 SH/GP and they have blocked a league leading 142 shots.
That winning streak is on opportunistic scoring and on goaltending. #GoHabsGo
After winning their 8th straight game, this time needing skills competition to defeat the #NJDevils, the #Habs odds of making the playoffs sit at... 100%!!! Well done! #GoHabsGo
Higher in the standings, higher points %, the #Habs have not clinched but the Sabres have. #GoHabsGo
Hey guys, I've only been watching the #Habs since 2019. Is this what you call a heater?
The funniest thing in the standings.
#GoHabsGo 2nd, 76 gms
#SabreHood 3rd, 77 gms
Each w 100 pts.
#SabreHood clinched, but the #Habs do not?
Why? Because there is no scenario where #SabreHood loses the tiebreak. For #Habs, that isn’t the case.
It was intermission. Had 2 pints & #Ole’d & #GoHabsGo’d a lot.
Lots of #Habs fans! Great atmosphere!
I finally got back home!
Final.
#HABS WIN! #HABS WIN!
🥳🎉🎊👏🏻🍻
What a great atmosphere! Dueling chants. It was awesome. Chanted #GoHabsGo & #Ole numerous times.
What a wild OT!
#Demidov 5-hole SO winner!
No #Caufield 50. That means he’s getting it tmrw.
#GoHabsGo 4-3 #NJDevils (SO)
#Habs MSL on 100 points
"We're always focusing on the next game, the next action on the ice. It's nice to see where we are in the standings & how we've been performing lately. However, we stay focused on the task & tell each other the truth to keep moving forward & focused on process."
#GoHabsGo
I sure hope the #Habs clean up their play for tomorrow night…that was a rather sloppy 2nd half of the game.
#Habs will be in the playoff. Nothing to worry about.
#Habs fans! Here is some good news... The Columbus Blue Jackets CAN NOT pass us in points. So, we don't get to relive the nightmare of last season's last 5 games!
#GoHabsGo
Just a technicality. It has to do with the regulation wins. Should the #Habs lose all their games and Ottawa win all theirs Ottawa would win the tiebreaker. But that’s highly unlikely.
#Habs Cole Caufield had 5 of Montreal's 29 total shots tonight but Goal 50 Watch is to be continued Sunday (tomorrow) night at the Bell Centre vs. these same #NJDevils
#Habs 4 - 3 #Devils (F/SO)

Goals for 3 of my sons and another W for the other. #Habs
Despite blowing a 3-0 lead, the #Habs beat the #NJDevils in the shootout to extend their winning streak to 8 games and reach 💯 points this season!
#NHL Montréal Canadiens Playoff Race Standings.
No need for the chart anymore.
#Habs have not clinched a playoff spot yet.
But they can Sunday, if:
Detroit, 1 pm vs Minnesota, loses in any way,
OR
Ottawa, 5 pm vs Carolina, loses in any way,
OR
Habs, 7 pm vs New Jersey, picks up at least one point.
100 pts & 4-3 win #HABS!!!
💙🤍❤️
I’ll take the “W”, but that didn’t feel much like a victory. #Habs
