Looking at the next three games that the Habs have on the schedule, I figured it was time to dust off this old thread.
We will be facing the Bruins, the Sens and then the Rangers. All of those teams are loaded with tough gritty players who are willing to fight anyone. Us, not so much.
It appears that the key to winning in the NHL is to have a very tough team. Looking in the East, the Rangers are on top with 58 points, next come the Bruins with 55 points and then the surging Sens with 52 points.
And the Montreal Canadiens are in 12th place with 39 points.
Rangers fights this season, 32 total.
