A fight broke out during Montreal Canadiens practice this morning
Following a convincing 6-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, the Montreal Canadiens returned to practice this morning at the CN Sports Complex in Brossard.
As reported by Marqueur.com, a video captured by journalist Anthony Martineau revealed a moment that reflects the positive atmosphere currently surrounding the team.
In the video, Arber Xhekaj, Jayden Struble and Michael Pezzetta were playfully dropping the gloves for a mock fight, all in good fun.
Even Stéphane Robidas got involved in the lighthearted scuffle and this scene demonstrates the uplifting effect the recent win had on the team's morale.
This is especially encouraging considering the challenges the Canadiens have faced, as they remain in the lower ranks of the standings for a fourth consecutive season.
Despite this, moments like these show that the team is staying positive and united through the process even if the Canadiens are in a rebuilding phase, and while success won't happen overnight, the future looks bright.
Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton are working diligently to assemble a team that will eventually contend for the playoffs and this transitional period is an essential step toward achieving that goal.
The upcoming back-to-back games against the Detroit Red Wings, set for Friday and Saturday night, will be a test of the Canadiens' with two matchups in less than 24 hours.
These games present an opportunity for the team to build on its momentum and demonstrate its evolution
In the meantime, the positive vibes in the locker room are a good sign that the Canadiens are on the right track and the players' smiles and team spirit indicate that, despite the standings, the CH is moving in the right direction.
