What a ride. 💙🤍❤️

The Habs 2026 playoff run has come to an end, but this team gave us every reason to believe. From being counted out before the season even started to proving so many people wrong, the Montreal Canadiens showed the hockey world that the future is bright in Montreal.

This group battled until the very end, played with heart, and gave Habs fans memories we’ll never forget. The journey may be over for this season, but the foundation for something special has been built.

I also want to thank every single one of you who followed, liked, commented, shared, and supported Habstown throughout the season. Your engagement and passion for this team made every post worth creating, and I truly appreciate all of you 💙🤍❤️

The Habs playoffs may be over, but Habstown isn’t going anywhere. We’ll be here all offseason and ready for what’s next.

Thank you - Habstown
See you all next season!
Go Habs Go 🔵⚪️🔴
