Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to the Wild. Uneventful at best.

It's clear you don't watch. We beat the Rangers 24 hours after the Leafs loss in maybe the most exciting and inspired game of the year. A few days later we beat Tampa Bay. It's such a lazy narrative that the Leafs loss was a backbreaker. Anyone who says that probably only watches the Habs when they play the Leafs.
I can tell difference in club. They not playing with same intensity. After choke job like that. Goalie let it some softies. Broke their heart. On a big time roll, up 3 zip have way through. Wifi pointing to clock seemed to rile Leafs. It was crushing loss.

Habs win few games yes, won't be skunked no. But not same team. Habs 12-3-1 going in, 2-5-0 since. Hockey usually a game of momentum. I've been around hockey 55 years, seen it many times.

Momentum will always shift... even after a slump. Habs will get hot again, just like they went cold again.

I'm still not expecting to make the playoffs, but when it all plays out I'll repeat I expect them to come close.

Dw. Team is right on schedule. Progression as expected.

I’m sure someone believes that
We’re on pace for…. 85 points. Right around where most thought we’d be.

We weren’t as bad as we seemed at the beginning of the year and were not as good as the team that was super hot. We were never going to finish the year that hot.

The Four Nations thing will be a welcome break.

Pace should never be considered a real thing if a team can barely ever string any wins together
