Canadiens’ roaring new era is galvanizing Montreal and resurrecting Stanley Cup dreams

The Montreal Canadiens defeated the Buffalo Sabres 6-2 in Game 3 of their playoff series, energizing a packed Bell Centre crowd with former captain and 1993 Stanley Cup champion Kirk Muller carrying the torch before the game. Buffalo defenseman Bowen Byram described the Bell Centre as the loudest building he has ever played in. Montreal's young roster has reignited the city's pursuit of a 25th Stanley Cup title.
