Its crazy to hear the buzz against Monty. His stats aren't great since he got injured and sure he's giving up too many bad goals early and even removing 2 goals doesn't give habs the win anyways. The way the rest of the team is collapsing hard whenever they lose their tempo is like watching a kid collapse when after his ego got checked. They need to learn to bounce back fast and play hard all 3 periods.
Also, our wins were against teams that didn't make the playoffs last year, except for the Senators (OT without Tkachuk). All others, Habs got spanked. Fans are being overly really excited because we're beating teams we're supposed to win against (with lots of OT). We crumble when facing elite lines.
We're going to know the reality of it between now and the end of the year as we confront most of last year's cup contenders (some of which aren't doing too well this year).
I love seeing how they are developing but they still have quite the uphill battle and a lot to improve.
I also agree... next year should be the real thing.
