Explain how they miss the playoffs??? They just finished 1st in the atlantic
Montreal has a very hot start but had a poor record from New Years on. Sure they can miss. Tampa should be better, maybe the Leafs, and Ottawa and Bruins did make the playoffs last year. As of now, the Canadians lineup is worse than last years....no Radulov, no Markov, no Beaulieu, and just added Drouin. They're in a fight to make the playoffs, with whole lot of other teams.
Well Palhal first of all, no matter what start or ending the team has, they always make the playoffs. Tampa will be fighting with mtl for top spot in the division, followed by Ottawa and Boston. As of now, our line is one of the best in recent years, but yes some question marks remain. The acquisition of Drouin should not be taken lightly as this guy is an elite player and will be a star for years to come. You are never in a fight to make the playoffs, when you have the worlds best goalie in net. Our only rival in the division is Tampa. Leafs, Buffalo, Florida and Detroit don't stand a chance against the habs, as seen last season. Leafs will just blow a lead as soon as they get one and they were incredibly lucky that tampa and isles did not play well, or leafs wouldn't even have made the playoffs. Florida will improve and maybe even buffalo, who are the leafs competition. Both florida and buffalo have offense, but better defense then the leafs.
1 point that always comes up with the habs is that there defense men are "slow". Well surprise, you don't need to be a fast defenseman to be a good defenseman. I can go on, but I have argued with you before, but you never bring any solid points, so I'd rather not waste my time.
Good luck trying to make the playoffs next year. If Price, Eichel, and Stamkos get injured, and none of ur players get injured, you guys might actually squeak through!
