What happened: Following the Montreal Canadiens' Game 4 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, analyst Kevin Weekes said the Canadiens' inexperience "is starting to show as this series has gone on, particularly these last two games." The remark was shared by SportsCenter.

Why it matters: Weekes' read points to a young Montreal roster being tested in a tight playoff series, where experience and composure often decide late-game swings. If the trend he describes holds, the Canadiens face a steeper path against a battle-tested Carolina group.

What to watch: Watch whether Montreal's young core steadies its play in the next game or whether Carolina's edge continues to widen the series.
