Let's keep things in perspective: The Habs were playing winning hockey for over two months. They've only played losing hockey for about five weeks – four of them at the very beginning of the season.
Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to the Wild. Uneventful at best.

I would challenge that statement by saying that during that 2months period where there where winning... they didn't look picture perfect and some games where won despite not so great play.
Bottom line here is that MTL wasn't as bad at is played in the first few weeks of the seasons, but not as good as the record show during that hot streak. They are somewhere in the middle of that with some strength and lots of weakeness still. Where does that leave the team?? Well, I think that they are going to have some hot and cold stretch until the end of the season, but I would caution anyone against having expectation of a playoff spot.

I think it's fair to say we do not have the makeup of a team that can go all out for any great length of time.
We also don't have a team ready to take full advantage of the good runs when we do get on them. We could easily have had a run of 11 straight wins. Going forward it's hard to see us having more good runs than bad at this point. I'll be impressed if we win three of our next five games.
its frustrating for me because it's the only team and professional sport i follow,totally get the whole rebuild thing but not showing up has nothing to do with rebuilding and were three years in,the culture should be there.Who the hell knows what started this mental collapse this time but were back to being unwatchable,i really sypathize with the people dropping 3-500 $ for this crap,and a shutout !! just pathetic.
Gorton was probably looking for a wall to punch last night
.I can just imagine him saying ,fu#k these clowns i'm not getting them any help at the deadline,not that we'll even be in contention but you just can 't trust them. hmmm and who was the problem in Columbus i wonder.
p.s. they should book them at one of the burnt out hotels on their next stop in California ,that's about all they deserve

1. Why would you argue that pace has no meaning? How else do you judge how a team is doing? If pace doesn’t matter the. Don’t complain about any losing streaks because apparently they don’t matter either.
2. What the hell are you talking about saying this team can’t string wins together? Were you in a coma over the last month?

Consistently inconsistent. Pretty much what you should expect from a team that’s transitioning the way we are.

Wild are better than I expected. They really skate well and have a great forecheck. They smothered the Habs all night long.

Nilan was a no nonsense team first player,after hearing him tell a few hockey tales of the past he would have never done something like that,completely inexcusable.

Completely agree with Nilan. To line up to congratulate an opposing goalie, who just shut you out, and never wore the bleu blanc et rouge was sickening to witness.

That's disrespectful, he did win a gold medal with the Olympic team ! ( although he didn't see any game time ). Maybe Monty could skate in his footsteps with the 4 Nations crap.
