Habs Week in Review
In a phrase: they suck.
Lots of ink has been spilled over the fact that the Habs have fallen faster then the temps in February. Truth be told, the Habs were clinging to fourth for the past few weeks and it was only going to take a few losses in a row to have them plummet to what, sixth is it now? Seventh? I stopped looking.
Go ahead and flip back a few HWIR’s and you’ll read that what’s keeping this team afloat is goaltending (Huet) and a goal scrorer (Koivu). Both have stopped doing what they did. The end result ? Ya, the train wreck that you see before you.
So what’s a Hab fan to do ? Scream for Gainey to trade Samsonov for a bag of pucks and another mascot ? Call up Carey Price and hope he’s the next Roy ? No pressure there Price.. it’s not like we didn’t call you up to win us a cup like the last time we called up goalie with no NHL experience just before the playoffs.
No, we hang tight and hope to God Huet finds his Mojo and that Koivu finds that scoring touch. Then we hope that Kovalev realizes that it’s crunch time and puts on his playoff game face.
Until then, enjoy the free fall.
