All eyes are on the habs’ ascent up the rankings in the East and the more it goes, the more it’s possible to believe that the playoffs are within reach.
The game against the Panthers yesterday is a good example: the Centre Bell was on fire after Nick Suzuki’s overtime goal. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen that in Montreal…
After all, yesterday’s ratings on RDS were tremendous:
Ratings: 725,000 (average per minute) people watched the habs game last night on RDS.
This is the largest audience of the season for a habs game.

At this level, Réjean Tremblay wrote this morning in his article of the day (Punching Grace) that the habs have put their playoff tickets on sale:
My pusher, excuse me, my habs representative, Gabriel Marcotte is preparing to press the magic button on the big computer at the Centre Bell this morning […] This morning, the habs are putting their playoff tickets on sale. – Réjean Tremblay
We can already find tickets on StubHub… but not on TicketMaster.
That being said, we’re starting to prepare for the possibility of seeing the habs participate in the playoffs, and that’s normal.
It must be a lot of work right now for the people involved in the “project”… but it must also be nice to work in a situation like that.
It’s different from the last few years, at least!
This is logical, in a way, since the habs don’t necessarily have the best chances of winning the Stanley Cup this year.
Nevertheless, just knowing that playoff tickets will be available soon… it’s something.
Overtime
– Reinforcements in Edmonton.
The Oilers made a great pickup for the 2025-2026 season https://t.co/1EZUw8qQ5q
