Sometimes I think with a team like MTL it might actually help them to open on the road away from all of the intense civic
media scrutiny . . . in BUF on the 6th and then TO the following night. I have a bad feeling about this, like they'll come out of the gates 0-2 . . .

Montreal should struggle the whole year according to what i've capped so far. This team is just not that good, and has alot of problems on both sides of the puck.

i expect them to get out to a quik start like last year and fade during the year. This team will be good if the hole team is healthy, if one or two guys get hurt, thats it for them because they have no depth. Koivu went down in the playoffs against car, the whole team went down.
