You have to kinda chuckle when you read that teh habs "Got beat by a weak team" when we lose a game. I just watched Atlanta demolish Ottawa 8-3 (we lost 4-0). What an offense Atlanta has! Florida beat a very strong Buffalo team 2-1 last night (after beating us 2-1) and Wachington beat a wicked team in Philly 4-3 in OT. What is very clear is that in today's NHL anyone is capable of beating anytone and there are few weak sisters now. You need to be ready to play every night. But Montreal needs to find a way to start winning those games like they did in October. I guess my point is that I do not feel we have been "brutal". On this road trip we lost to some very capable hockey teams (even Florida. With Luongo in net you are gonna be in every game). And we beat a very capabale and potent team in Tampa Bay. We are coming up short for whatever million reasons we all come here to debate every day. We are not that FAR off and the line between winning and losing is very fine right now.
The scary part is that teams like Atlanta and Tampa are coming at us fast in the standings. Let's hope Sidney gets played out in Laff land tonite.
