All things being even, I'd rather be able to beat the good teams than the crappy ones when all is said and done.

That being said, we could be the best team in the NHL IF we took even half those loses and split the season series with Buffalo and Edmonton. So yeah.

Go Habs Go!

 

[Tuggy]

If the playoffs started today we would see our good friends in the first round.

 

[realtalk11]

just imagine if we didn't lose to bottom teams :/

 

[Dannyhab]

Wow, Nashville is the best team in the league? Good for them.

 

[Account Terminated]

Yeah, it's going to be a real problem once we face them in the playoffs.

 

[Treb]

Don't understand how a team that is so bad for my blood pressure can be 1st, but I'll take it.

 

[Ezpz]

No but DD's annual disappearing act will be.

#FireTherrien. I hate losers. Especially losers that win.

Do I really need to add this?

 

[Andy]

Nothing like getting the first place spot with a loss. Let's hope we stay here now.

 

[sharks9]

Now let's hope we don't lose to Toronto tomorrow. I'd like to beat at least some of the ****tier teams in the league

 

[Kachino]

I honestly don't care about the standings ... well not really since I just want the Canadiens to make the playoffs.

It'd help to have home-ice advantage and an easier matchup in the first round though.

I'd rather face Boston instead of Tampa/Detroit.

You'd have to face Tampa or Detroit in the 2nd round anyway... Doesn't really make that much difference.

 

[Saintpatrick*]

Worst first place team in history

The thing is that home-ice advantage is an advantage if you can hold serve. You lose the first game and bang, things are turned around.

Look don't get me wrong, I get your point. However, like another poster wrote: you have to face all those great teams at one point.

Tank Nation hoping too. Just come out hard with a good forecheck and finish all your checks and you will be fine.

Thank you for starting a positive thread here!!

Go Habs Go!!!!

Can someone make our comparative record of vs Playoff/Non playoff teams?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Best roster in the East.

 

[yoteshot]

Can someone make our comparative record of vs Playoff/Non playoff teams?

28 GP against teams currently in playoffs, 26 GP against teams that are not. 18-8-2 vs playoff teams, 17-7-2 vs non-playoff teams, that's .679 against current playoff teams, .692 against non playoff teams. Nearly identical.

record against current bottom four teams in NHL standings (ARI, CAR EDM, BUF) is 3-4-2. That includes 2-0-0 against Carolina.

Ye, but I don't like the fact that they slid into first place, thanks to the Lightning's defeat by a legitimate powerhouse and a shameful OT loss to the Oilers. Well, we'll have to recognize that Tokarski can hold his own against some of the 29 other NHL teams but not against Edmonton, the lowliest team in the league. The trade that brought him to the Habs was worthwhile but let's hope that Price doesn't tire.

Habs still have 3 games in hand over Tampa though so it is still well deserved.
