Get yourself a crew that shows up for you the way Montreal Canadiens journeyman forward Michael Pezzetta’s family and friends did last night. With all manner of Pezzetta jerseys on, they were there to support the 2016 sixth round pick in his NHL debut!

Habs fans relished the victory over Detroit but couldn’t help but be worried about where the team is going on the Post-Game Show. Suzuki, Pezzetta, Josh Anderson, Jake Allen and head coach Dominique Ducharme met the media after the win.

Anderson and Ducharme also provided an update on Jonathan Drouin, who left the game after taking a shot off the left ear and was taken to hospital for precautionary reasons. Anderson said he saw Drouin after the game and he told him he was fine. Ducharme said he’ll be re-evaluated today. (TSN690)
