The magical postseason run for the Montreal Canadiens has come to an end.
On Wednesday night, the Tampa Bay Lightning won Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final at Amalie Arena, repeating as NHL champions for the second consecutive year.
The series loss means Montreal’s 1992-93 championship remains the last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup. The Canadiens became the sixth straight Canadian team to lose in the Stanley Cup Final.

Couldn’t be more proud of this team with the adversity they faced all season. From a fan and organizational POV, this run was much needed. This team is filled with a lot of young talent and gutsy veterans to steer the ship. The best is yet to come for the Habs! #GHG
