That's right. Next 6 on the road against some real powerhouse teams, followed by a home game with Carolina ! and followed in Feb by home and homes with Buffalo and Boston.

If the habs fail to play over .500 on this road trip, and fail to win the home and homes in Feb, I say it will be pretty much over. They'll be down to 12-13 in the standings, with little hope of making it back to 8th place.

So .... let's all say a prayer to Sainte Lorette, and let's send postive thoughts to our habs!!!
