In back to back seasons, Montreal has had the lowest point total of all playoff teams and this year they had 59, they were also 18th in goals against, and 17th in goals for. Acting like they're some how a great team because you want to feel better about yourself, is not my problem but its delusional. Montreal will not survive 4-6 games vs Boston, Florida and Tampa next year. They aren't better than The Panthers, Hurricanes, Islanders, Flyers , Penguins or even the Rangers, whom they have to fight for a wild card spot because they certainly aren't getting one of the guaranteed top 3 spots over Boston, Toronto ,Florida or Tampa. And when they inevitably miss the playoffs next season, they'll miss their chance to trade pieces that will help them build for the future, so they'll be in perpetual no mans land of not being good enough to make the playoffs, but not bad enough to land a superstar draft pick, like the Leafs were with the Burke and Nonis era.
