Thirteen games left to the season.

The west coast swing really stung, especially the Anaheim game. Staying up for that was particularly disappointing even if our posters did their best to keep the GDT interesting.

The Anaheim loss and the Habs falling out of a playoff spot for now, predictably has spawned a truckload of posts calling for Bergevin's head, chances of making the playoffs and falling into no man's land.

Drouin, Benn and Weise have attracted their share of negative attention. Drouin for disappearing, Benn for brain cramps and Weise for never having really appeared.

You can only imagine what closed door meetings look like with these guys disappearing like they do during games ...

No one knows exactly why but weird stuff happens every time Bergevin is in Florida, like he was last week for GM meetings. He was being interviewed when this happened ...

Who are those guys? A drug deal gone wrong? Habs scouts practicing ambush tactics to uncover under the radar prospects wherever they may be hiding?

Then there was the year when there was an odd encounter between Bergevin and Treliving:

Or the time Bergevin pulled this prank:

While a lot of fans are upset at Bergevin for the team's bubble status, others hold the ownership group equally if not more responsible.

At last year's season-ending presser, while journalists and fans alike were scrambling to come to terms with an abject disaster of a hockey season, Genius Geoff took to rambling on about hotdogs and food experiences.

Not to be outdone, this season Geoff looks to have taken advantage of the lofty goals that GM Marc Bergevin has set for the team at the start of the season by introducing a complementary new beer concept: BREWTAL, the tallest brew in the industry reaching for the heighest heights.

"Marc and I thought it would be a great time to promote it", said Geoff from his downtown offices. "We didn't want to wait for the year-end presser this time around."

Brewtal. Just Brewtal.

On the bright side, there has been a Hab who has been performing amongst the very best. Gallagher is the 6th highest goal scorer in 5 vs. 5 play:

Luckily, there has been a bit of levity in our GDTs, thanks to a flurry of posts about chips and other junk food.

We were thus able to discover that OldCraig is quite the chip connoisseur and is intending on creating a chip empire. He's already secured a building.

Great GDT start up!

Habs will show up tonight. Scoring the 1st goal is the key in terms of momentum. The minute we get behind is where we are taken off our game.

Watching the Habs feels like the day after you rear-end another car. Your easy confidence behind the wheel is gone and suddenly every turn is a potential accident. Detroit should be a simple drive around the corner; instead, we're white-knuckling it, waiting for a crash.

Good analogy. The coaches, players, and fans need to chill out a bit and realize that we are not cup contenders and we have nothing to lose. Yeah, missing the playoffs as the 15th ranked team hurts but we are a team on the rise with our youth. Bigger picture is what's important.

Leafs are the ones who should be panicking. They have a date with the Bruins in the 1st round and if they escape that series with no major injuries to their depleted D depth, they then have a date with the Lighting in the 2nd round.

Habs are not expected to do anything so we should have this mentality to finish the season... just like the same mentality we had to start the year.

I'm accepting this fate.

Habs will have nothing to lose if they face Tampa
