The Canadiens lost in Columbus, a game that could have basically put them in the playoffs but instead would up making a playoff berth a steep, uphill climb, if you consider Mount Kilimanjaro to be a hill. Arpon is back from the most significant road trip of the Canadiens’ season and discusses contrasts and similarities in the consequences of that game in Columbus and how the Blue Jackets’ response to the grand stage said a lot about both teams. Also: will Jonathan Drouin ever be someone who can drive the bus or will he always be a co-pilot? Was Claude Julien right to sit Jesperi Kotkaniemi and what does he do now that his replacement as third line centre, Jordan Weal, played so well? And finally, with Josh Brook, Ryan Poehling and Cayden Primeau signing their first pro contracts, does any of what’s happening now even matter with the future of the team arriving?
