The terrible start is such a shame. Before Laine’s injury I actually put 250$ on Habs making the playoffs at 8.5 to 1. Buffalo and Detroit were at 2.5/3 to 1 so my rationale was, the odds don’t compute. Should have bet on Detroit to miss instead!!
They really do look like a « in the mix » team now since Laine came back (and I would say the few games before)…but to catch up they need to be top tier, and that’s a stretch.
