Montreal will never tank on purpose.
Sure, we have ****** start to the season, but nothing is determined in the first couple games out of 82. I'd say with the state of our D right now, we can't be surprised at the result.
However, I think the Habs still look like a competitive team. I'm not hitting the panic button, there's a lot of hockey left to play and everyone remembers the Leafs going 6-0 last year only to miss the playoffs again.
At the same time, we can't suck for too long and put ourselves out of a playoff spot early, and just come up short of 2 points like Calgary last year.
