No.

No, sir.

Yeah, Montreal had two shots in the first period.

They had three shots in the second period, and they had seven shots in the third period, and they had zero shots in overtime.

Carolina did what they were supposed to do.

They took away time and space in the neutral zone.

They were outstanding, closing the gap in their own zone.

We'll get to some of the Canadian goals.

Got to give Josh Anderson a lot of credit.

I thought he was the best Montreal Canadian tonight.

Carrier was very good.

Deno was very good.

But it wasn't a long list of great Montreal Canadian players tonight because Carolina came to play.

And if you're a fan of hockey, you knew Carolina was going to bring in a game tonight.

You just knew.

And part of it was because of the way Brendan Moore handled between games one and two.

He was smart.

Sometimes less is more.

They had practiced for 12 days between the final of their game or their series with Philadelphia and the start of their series with Montreal.

They didn't need to go on the ice.
