Tribute habs turnaround tribute

The 4th line contribution in the december, january push.
George Laracque when he pressured on MSL to start coaching or Gerard Gallant would come over for coffee
Anderson playing injured, straight up +5 to all stats but -10 to brake.
Primeau not here to throw games away
Barron free
Matheson free PP
 
1 Gorton / KH vision, clarity, culture building & patient/timely asset management
2 MSL's coaching & culture building
3 Suzuki / Caufield leadership & consistency
4 Hutson's historical rookie season
5 top to bottom buy in of the players, in particular the vets whom have fully embraced their roles (largely diminished)

Not so much a turn around as a very methodically planned and executed rebuild that is largely unfolding as intended (including the buffers for inevitable injury and inconsistent youth performance).

Habs are who (a small minority of us) we thought they were.

Future is bright 😎
(& The present is getting more and more enjoyable as we go)

Luck.

Reading the main board, Laine's goals are not counting and Hutson is trash cause he's not scoring. Caufield is small and doesn't play defense, Slaf is a bust and Monty is the worst starter of the league.

Marty-Don't think many other coaches would have lasted through the last few seasons. He has shown a lot of patience which has helped young players take steps forward.

Health-For the most part, they haven't been buried by injuries. That has helped Laval this season as well, not having to lose their best players to the big team all the time.

Other teams, especially in the division-a number of teams have taken a step back. i,e Bruins, Rangers

Patrik Laine's arrival in December is the biggest reason.

Hutson's emergence has been quite the sight as well.
 
4 principal factors have contributed to the in the mix

1. Carrier acquisition
2. Laine powerplay prowess
3. Dobes 5 game win streak
4. Hutson powerplay
please rank the factors

1. Hutson powerplay
2. Laine powerplay prowess (the two first kind of go together)
3. Carrier acquisition
4. Dobes 5 game win streak
