I also don't see it with this Montreal core. I don't think they'll be a playoff team next year or even three years after that.

I don't know. They're pretty fast. They could be a playoff team in the next few years, but probably have at least another year or two to go. Then again, they could have some attainable success like the 2018 Devils. I just don't think it will be sustainable before a few more years.

And one other thing. Before the heater they were on there were a ton of questions about Marty St. Louis and his ability to be a successful head coach in the league. It even felt like he was on the hot seat at one point.

They'll always be handicapped in that area (self inflicted) because of their prerequisite of a French speaking head coach, and how many times can you bring back Julien, Therrien, Vigneault or Jacques Martin?

5-3 without Markstrom (including the game we lost him in). 4-3 without Nico (including the game we lost him in).

We kept our heads above water in the stretch where we were missing two of our most important players. Nothing has been ideal or perfect, but we’re still in a good spot.

Much needed break time, and hopefully a fully healthy squad come the final stretch.

If the Rangers beat Columbus tonight our cushion will be 8 at the break. I’d have taken that in a heartbeat when Markstrom went down, not even counting Nico.

Did we ever hear what the Siegrnthaler injury time is likely to be?

Hot take but any penalty on a breakaway should be a penalty shot regardless of scoring chance. Btw that shouldn’t have been a penalty shot currently.

We haven't. Which might mean he is waiting for less swelling to get imaging done.

Only saw the highlights. Please tell me they don't tell the whole story story because it didn't look great for a 4-0 win.
 
Yeah, I think we dodged a bullet with Slafkovsky because you know Fitz would've made that mistake all day every day.

We can’t afford to give up a good forward for a 3rd line center, we will have a problem at the forward position where we’re already thin at the position.

If we can swap him for someone who can actually play center and add another forward separately, we would be in a much better spot.

While they won, they're still playing like shit and needed to goalie a bad Montreal team. They still have the same massive issues they've had for a month now where the defense has been shit and they're not generating more than the other team.

2 points is great, but this is a massive problem that has still yet to be addressed by Fitz.

You shouldn't need a goalie saving 3.92 above expected to beat a bad team.

You aren't wrong, and I posted a few similar thoughts during the game, but I will say that this team has lost plenty of games when they dominated and once in a while it's nice to steal one. Let's see how they look after the break. Hopefully Hischier is back and maybe a couple of guys nursing bumps and bruises get some needed rest and play better down the stretch.
