Hawks play no-touch pond hockey right down the Habs alley.

The Blues have been decimated with injuries, Habs didn't face anything close to their regular lineup - the Bruins, Leafs, and CBJ tried to play pure physical hockey. Team metrosexual isn't built for it - last night they just weren't strong enough to out battle the bigger CBJ players in front of the net for loose pucks - same old, same old...

LOL @ Lecture. Pretty sure I said that in one sentence, but fair enough? Too bad I was wrong.

Anyways, with this upcoming schedule and the return of Price its pretty safe to say that we will do OK.

Here are our next 13 games:

Boston
Toronto
Columbus
Columbus

Post -All-Star:
Philly
Buffalo
Edmonton
Carolina
Tampa
Buffalo
Arizona
Colorado
Philly

We will probably win at least 8 of those games, and potentially up in the 10 range.

If not, then we can trade some high priced talent to kick-start a re-tool.

more like, I didn't believe that such an extended stretch of futility was mathematically probable. the worst part of it is that in December, when the odds of the Habs making the playoffs was over 90% I wrote here that I wanted to hedge my bets and find a way to bet against the Habs making the playoffs. I was hoping to get ridiculous odds (like 20-1) but I couldn't even find such a bet

Sub .900 save % since Dec. 1. It all starts there.
 
Goaltending is a hugh part of it. The bad guys on the other side have had superior goaltending in almost every game since the slide started. Arizona lost Smith and Domingue just stepped in and played like Smith wasnt missed at all. I think with better goaltending replacement for Price the Habs would have something like 58 points today and safely in a playoff position.

I have to admit, when I was driving on a foggy Coquihalla Connector to CJ's tournament in Kelowna (without snow tires I might add) and listening to Martin McGuire and Dany Dube call our game against Washington where we played arguably our best game of the season but lost due to Condon, I never expected that two months later, we would be in the toilet.

No ifs ands or buts about it. Hell, if our save % was just .910 since December 1 we would have sixty points
 
This thread can probably be closed. The team can't even complete against the shit teams. No reason to even talk about the upcoming schedule now.
