Habs Week in Review
I smell a slump.
It might be the melting snow revealing those, um, gifts on the street that is normally reserved for springtime, but I smell a slump.
Since the holidays, the habs have won 3 and lost 3. While this isn’t considered a slump for say the Leafs, given how the Habs have been playing before the holidays, .500 hockey is moving into slump territory.
Now add in the fact that the Les Canadiens have called up Maxim Lapierre and Mikhail Grabovski from their farm club because 5 of their regular players have come down with the stomach flu and you have further complications. I’ve had that stomach flu and trust me, you don’t want to be taken to the boards while suffering from it. Ew!
So Carbo is going to have to do some juggling and tinker with what he’s got.
This, coupled with the fact that the Habs at times, have looked very lethargic. A team that is on a roll needs to stay on a roll. They need to continue to play. With the Christmas break, a stomach flu and soon coming the All Stars break, the Habs will be hard pressed to keep that winning machine rolling.
Habs play the rangers today at 15:00.
