The Montreal Canadiens went 27 minutes without a shot on goal in last night’s Game 7, including the entire second period, but they still found a way to score twice to move on to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and send the Tampa Bay Lightning to their fourth consecutive first-round exit.

Plus, The Athletic’s own Chris Johnston joins the show to talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs hiring Mats Sundin and John Chayka and the blunt comments from Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl from Edmonton Oilers locker cleanout.
