Honetly, it's tough to see on paper how this team can go far, especially without a star skater.
BUT... looking at hard data, we added size and scoring ability, the two most urgent needs, BY FAR, according to me (and probably others). So younger players will have more time to develop.
So i understand why some people are excited for the season. But at the same time, it's not like there is a lot of talent right now. If the Canadiens gor far, it wont be because of spectacular plays, but more an efficient style of play, good defensive plays and a PP that is dangerous. In any case, they are an interesting team. definitly not a Stanley cup team right out of the box, but who knows.... it will also depends if bergevin goes all in at the trade dead line or will see more long term, of course.

I think it's legitimate to think they could come out of the canadian division. not a done deal for sure, but certainly possible imo.

yes they could give Toronto some headaches for sure. - pidesd
Toronto?!? I'm not worried about Toronto one bit. Leafs could finish the regular season ahead, but comes playoffs time, I am much more afraid of a team like WPG or CGY.
I like that I’m not a miscreant lol Thanks, to you too.
Been having knee issues for years, had both ACL reconstructed a couple of times and the knees are kinda giving on me these days, doc wants to see if the ligaments are still hanging in there, fun time...If I need an op, I think it would be knee op number 7...joy lol
If you ever need a chicken to cheer you up or pick up the groceries, me and my beak will be there. Could be harder from a distance about the groceries.
And to Karine, keep up the good work! Can't wait for the blogs with the new season coming with all the new players.
Ps : I said something about the groceries, but if you buy chicken, go ask Pete or something. Thanks.
