And-o can't help but think how Jose Theodore once carried the Habs to the playoffs alone (backstopping a roster far worse than the present one). 

And-o can't remember the last time the Canadiens roster sported rookies the likes of Plekanec, Higgins, Perezhogin, Danis (and Komisarek is still pretty raw as well).

Sure And-o thinks that the Habs are not exactly a juggernaut on defense, but icing the likes of Markov-Souray-Rivet-Dandenault-Komisarek-Bouillon-Streit is not too shabby in terms of mobility, talent and offensive upside!

And-o doesn't see a lack of forwards capable of crashing the net for rebounds (Ryder, Zednik, Kovalev, Dagenais, Bonk, Begin and Higgins don't seem too shabby - heck, even Dagenais has a wicked release)

And-o also sees a few skilled playmakers...Koivu and Ribeiro for example.

And-o even sees a few solid role players like Sundstrum's checking and Bulis's versatility.

And-o thinks that the solution to the Habs present ailments could/should come from within!!!

This team should be able to get back on track.....otherwise, And-o will soon start to question strategy (aka coaching)...which I do think has been good...but not great!  For example, NO WAY should Toronto have a better PP than us...and NO WAY should the Habs EVER struggle on the PK with their speed!!!
