Fans of the Montreal Canadiens are facing a challenging start to the season following injuries to key players. Defenseman David Reinbacher underwent surgery on his left knee, sidelining him for five to six months. His injury came just as forward Patrik Laine, recently acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets, suffered a left knee sprain that will keep him out for two to three months but thankfully does not require surgery.

The situation has left supporters anxious, especially given the team's history of injuries. As the Canadiens prepare for their regular-season opener, the mood among fans is a mix of concern and cautious optimism, hoping for a swift recovery for Laine and Reinbacher.
