What is it going to take for us to change then? Most of the fanbase wants to cheer for their team to win but are unwilling to face the reality of what it takes to achieve long term success. What exactly is it that the Montreal Canadiens are doing? This summer the focus turned to youth but only after we were rejected by JT and Paul Stastny and now we are in a playoff spot so has the focus now changed back to trying to win? Are we back to once you are in anything can happen?
Kept saying for a while now....this management won't do a rebuild. Not at this point cause they won't have enough leash to finish it, not in Montreal. A management could do it if they were on day 1 of their job.
Today, they are 5th in their division....meaning that there's 11 teams that were not able to do better than this Habs team so far this season.....and that's mostly without Weber. They are the 2nd best team in the NHL at 5-on-5 for scoring goals. Questions should be: How the F did that happened?
At this point i would say that they got two choices. Either you miss the PO by a couple a points or either you get in by a couple of points. Either way, the Habs will draft between 14 and 22 and for me, it's the same thing.
Bergevin never really made big changes at TDL or giving up a lot of good assets, so i'm not worried about that but one thing for sure, he's not living 3 years without some help on the LD cause that's the minimum he'll have to wait in order to get some help through the draft or his prospects.
