For the last 5 years or so, the Habs have always started the season strong.
12 and 2 records, 17 and 6 records, 10 and 0 records etc.
They've always been a team hot out the gates because they were tested and outplayed and outworked teams.
It's by game 45-50 where things will fall off due to injuries, lack of talent and the league hitting it's stride.
After 5 months of no hockey, this is kind of like October all over again for the Habs.
Everyone is healthy, everyone is well rested. What's stopping them of going on another great start?
Young fast team, they just might get off to another strong "start".
I mean 19 wins wins you the cup this year.
So if Habs go 19 and 9 in the next few weeks, which would coincide with past starting records, they might just pull it off.
I seriously doubt it, but we can't be too surprised we beat an aging Penguins team. If Habs end up beating the Flyers then really anything can happen.
But I still think the Flyers are the team to beat in the east.
If the kids continue to play well and Gallaher and Tatar start producing, the Habs can continue to surprise.
We'll have to wait and see.
For now let's just enjoy the ride.
