The mighty return of Montreal

I think NYR make it. If not them, NYI.

Habs remind me of Detroit last year. Playing on fumes, bad goaltending, but things just kinda going their way in a luck sense. I think the true colours bleed through and they fall back down to Earth.

This seems like wishful thinking from my vantage point. Goalies have been good they play fast high event hockey. They have 2 games in hand on the Rangers. Islanders are too banged up dont have the horses.

Neither of these are true. In fact the Habs have been one of the best teams post 4 Nations because they benefited from the downtime. And if the goaltending was bad they wouldn't be in this race. I'd say the goaltending has been solid not great, but because the Habs fate isn't dependent on Monty it works.

It's a dead heat so i'll just list them in terms of best team to worst team

1. Rangers
2. Red Wings
3. Jackets
4. Habs

Ottawa Sens

Why aren't they an option?
