Hurricanes Look Ready to Finish Canadiens in Game 5

Carolina has had this series where it wants it, and now the pressure shifts to Montreal to find another gear on the road. The betting angle is leaning hard toward the Hurricanes, which tells you the market sees a team that has controlled the important moments and knows how to close. Montreal still has to prove it can crack that rhythm before the series slips away for good, and that is the kind of test that exposes every weak seam in a playoff roster.
