With last nights OT loss to the toronto maple leafs, the Montreal Canadiens advance to the post-season. Was itmerited? Who will the play?
Well was the post-season merited. I'm not too sure, with a very shaky season and inconsistent play by many key players make Montreal a team that will definitely struggle in this post-season. Don't get me wrong I'm a die hard Habs Fan. I love this team, but I'm also a guy who is really into hockey and I know that the Habs have a very bleak chance to win the Stanley Cup. Though is it merited, yes i do believe so. Through this entire season Montreal like last season has been playing with an injured team. From Bergeron, Cammalleri, Gomez, Gionta, Markov, Pouilot, Andrea Kostisin and now the unsung hero Metropolit. The team has gone through a fair amount of hardship. Now however they are all back (except Metropolit though he might return soon). The only problem now is if they can play like before, here's hoping.
Now who they will play all depends on who wins the Philly-Rangers game. If the rangers win we stay in 7th and play the Devils. This is bad, real bad. This is why I want Philly to win so we can play the first place Caps. Now people might wonder why I would want the Habs to play the Caps over the Devils, for the Caps won the presidents trophy. The reason why is simple. The Caps have a not so great defense and a goaliewho is known to choke in the playoffs. Now granted Varlamov was stellar last playoffs, this season he has been struggling in a bad way. So I believe that The Habs best chance is to play the Washington Capitals
