What they said

Ottawa eliminates Montreal 4-1

It was a somewhat softer landing than I think many expected last night as the Canadiens were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs in what I think I can safely call a disappointing end to a promising season. As the final seconds ticked off of the clock the remaining sparse crowd that the Bell Centre attempted to recognize the effort of the players who had overachieved all season long to win the North East division, but could not in the end, defeat a solid-if-not-great Ottawa Senators team. The last time the Canadiens were eliminated from the playoffs, by the eventual cup-winning Boston Bruins, there was a palpable sense of despair within the Habs community. Losing to a rival is tough. Losing in over time of Game 7 is worse. This time around I’m not sure there were too many people who gave Montreal a serious chance following their dispiriting Game 4 loss in Ottawa.

Round One: Game Five

The Montreal Canadiens were fairly healthy for most of the strike-shortened 48 game season. Despite lengthy absences from concussed players Raphael Diaz, Rene Bourque, and finally Alexei Emelin, the Habs managed for the most part to avoid any detrimental injuries that would cost them in the standings. Like every team, they took their knocks and got back into the lineup as quickly as possible.

Round One: Game Four

One of the traps that people often fall into when predicting an outcome of a game, series or season is that they assume that what has happened in the recent past must continue. Before the start of this year’s season, there wasn’t a pundit around who expected that the Habs would make the playoffs, let alone win the North East Division. There were very few people who expected that PK Subban would be a finalist for the Norris Trophy. We see it every year – and its something that I tend to bring up before the start of the season when all of the silly predictions are being made about who will be good and who will be bad – only to be proven entirely wrong a month or two into the year.

Round One: Game Three

Game three and who could guess what lies ahead? It’s the playoffs, the time of year where you need to throw all expectation out the window. The Habs have played some very good hockey so far this series, but who knows how Ottawa will respond after being outplayed in Game Two. The Habs were able to score goals in the dirty areas last time out, and one would expect Ottawa to come out firing in front of their home crowd. It’s time to play a smart road game, with smart play up the middle. If Montreal can keep out of the penalty box you have to like their chances.
