Canadiens, being a young team, occaisionaly take opponents a little too lightly. The nice thing about this year’s club it seems that when the chips are down they are able to elevate their game. All 4 lines start rolling. Most folks I know figured it would be Mtl. in 5 – so there was Boston’s gimme game. habs should come back strong next game.
Sounds like what they said about Buffalo the last two years…young team, 4 lines, unstoppable…
