It's funny how every hockey expert had us last in the conference and bottom 3 in the league(pre-season predictions), but there was one guy, a former player, who felt there was something special going on in Montreal, and he felt the Habs could make the playoffs. Does anyone here remember who it was?
Nope. But I and a very small number of other posters nailed this outcome to the season back in September pretty accurately.
While many were adamant KH was asleep at the wheel and we didn't improve enough via summer transactions, I thought it was quite obvious that the cohesion of the group would be a strength, along with the role buy in of our vets and natural progression of our young core. If we could avoid major injury issues to our thin top 6 & top 4 talent, I knew this was a team that would compete for a playoff spot right to the end.
If anything, my surprise is that we have done as well as we have despite significant missed time to our best dman heading into the season (Guhle) and 2 top 6 forwards (Dach & Laine).
Like I've been saying....
Future is bright
We gotta put Xhekaj in and Savard out. Watching Savard skate is so painful. You need time-lapse photography to see him actually move.

Glad for him. At one point he was a top line winger. - Yeah it was a low scoring era and he got hurt all the time but he was really good.

which is pretty creepy considering he looked 12 for the first few years of his pro career.

All the while simultaneously very visibly losing his hair rather early.

Earlier today I checked my preseason prediction ; at the time I wrote « if Dach and Laine play at least 60 games each, and if we stay at ‘ league average ‘ games missed to injuries, and because Burrowes isn’t in charge of power plays, the Habs might sneak in with about 92pts.
Funny I was heavily relying on Dach and didn’t even mention Hutson….. but heck, I should be pretty close when the season ends.

So if we beat the Flyers, we eliminate both Philadelphia & Boston from playoff contention. Yes, neither has been eliminated yet. Lol
If Pens lose to Dallas on Saturday (3 PM start), we will eliminate Pittsburgh with a win, too.
A potential 3 for 1 special!
As for Philadelphia's new coach bump, they beat Montreal in what was one of the crappiest games we played post 4 Nations. Then beat Buffalo in a high scoring affair & Nashville. Lol
Yea, it's not like they're beating actual competitive teams. They're still shit. The major difference is Shaw has decided to play his 2 best offensive players together: Konecny & Michkov. And, surprise, surprise, they're producing together. What a concept playing talent with talent. It's ingenious!
We need 4 points this weekend. Let's win another, Habs!

I wonder if Xhekaj draws back in. Last game against Philly was frustrating. Have to match their energy.
