Imagine Marc-Andre Fleury un-retiring and signing with the Habs to go for a final cup run

From my understanding the PP GA per 60 minutes is the stat to look at to extrapolate this.

Earlier in the season, Anderson-Evans + Kapanan-Veleno were mainly used and IMO, they were the best duos, especially the latter.
Danault has been the worst player since he joined.

Too many collapses this year.

They've been able to comeback and win some games, but you can't play with fire and act surprised when it burns you.

They face the GK, Avs, Wild and Sabres (4 games in 7 days), so I expect 2 games each unless one steal the show and deserve a back-to-back.

The only "easy" game is against the Jets right before the break.

Note also that Montreal have the 3rd most Penalty Kills in that period.

A very undisciplined team that can't seem to find a way to shut down the door when they take penalties.

They face the GK, Wild, Avalanche and Sabres in the next 5 games before (the much needed) Olympics break.

We'll see what kind of team the Habs are during that stretch...

Are they still a young unexperienced team still in rebuild?
Or are they legit a playoff-bound team ready for the next step?

Yeah, growing up and hearing about all the great years, just to see the team struggle to build anything potent for 30 years.
It feels surreal right now to witness this young core of players!

This didn't age well. 14-2 MTL in the 1st tonight 😆

I'm so thankful that the Rangers decided to quit their rebuild and fire Gorton

Shots were 14-6 MTL in the 1st, we haven't seen that in a while either 😅

Imagine a guy like Mike Matheson complaining about Montembeault's play and then shitting on the fans in the same interview.

He would be out of Montreal in no time or would get boo'ed to hell at next game.

Crazy ending!

This team has a lot of defensive flaws. I let you pick which one, both looked awful.

but 2-pts on board, it doesn't matter how it happened, it's extremely important with how the standing looks right now.

At this rate, if they shot like normal teams, they would score 8 goals per games 😅

Crazy game. Such a frustrating one to watch but hey, it's not over until it's over!!

And they just scored, what a weird game.

In a game where they trail in the 3rd, they're being outshot 11-2 in the 3rd as of right now. Not their best game for sure.

I hope a journalist will challenge Martin St. Louis on why the Habs barely have 10 shots in the first 2 periods every game lately, they should have taken this game away when it was 2-0.

When they face a storm like tonight in the 2nd period, everything kinda falls apart with no resistance.
