The Canadiens beat the Florida Panthers 4-3 in a shootout Tuesday night at the Bell Centre after coming out flat for the second straight game since clinching a playoff spot.<\/p>\n
Was that letdown to be expected?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the main question answered on this week\u2019s Hockey Inside\/Out Show as The Gazette\u2019s Stu Cowan is joined by former Canadiens teammates and 1986 Stanley Cup champions Chris Nilan and Rick Green.<\/p>\n
Other questions the panel answers include:<\/p>\n
Has Cole Caufield trying to score his 50th goal of the season become a distraction to the team?<\/p>\n
Was it surprising that Brendan Gallagher was a healthy scratch for the second time this season against the Panthers?<\/p>\n
Is there still a spot on the roster for Joe Veleno after Kirby Dach and Alexandre Texier recovered from injuries?<\/p>\n
Are the Canadiens better off having defencemen Arber Xhekaj and Jayden Struble both in the lineup instead of Alexandre Carrier, who is out with an injury?<\/p>\n
And, finally, why should other teams be afraid of the Canadiens in the playoffs?<\/p>\n
