Something is happening in the Montreal Canadiens locker room right now, and we just got another piece of evidence. This team is truly on a mission, and a recent statement from Cole Caufield proves it even more.

And we’re not just talking about the great chemistry between the players.

Let’s remember that the Canadiens are technically a team that wasn’t necessarily expected to be in playoff contention at this point in the season.

So it would be easy for this team to “accept” the ups and downs, especially considering it’s a young lineup, but that’s absolutely not what we’re seeing.

I love it!

Cole Caufield shares an important moment that happened in the Montreal Canadiens locker room last night

Yes, that says a lot about this team.

Cole Caufield shared that the group had a good, honest discussion in the locker room after the first period.

“We had to find a way to get back into the game.”

Caufield and Laine then scored within the first six minutes of the second period.

After a tough first period, Caufield said the team had a big group talk, an honest discussion, because they were determined to get back into the game.

That’s important, especially since the team is on a hot winning streak, and despite that, the players didn’t accept having even one tough period. It really looks like this team is ready for the playoffs!

This team clearly has a winning mindset, and this anecdote says a lot about how far they’ve come.

The Montreal Canadiens have officially stopped accepting defeat!

In fact, following that eye-to-eye group discussion, Cole Caufield and Patrik Laine scored the two goals that ultimately made the difference in that game in Nashville.
