It seems that the balmy, spring-like weather that Montreal has been basked in, has disappeared this morning. In it's place, a frosty minus-13, more befitting of the time of the year.
But the cold isn't dampening Hab fans' spirits, as they await tonight's Habs/Leafs tilt in Toronto. The Habs have an opportunity to win four-straight games tonight, for the first time this season.
The Leafs are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, with 62 points to the Habs 53. It should be noted that despite being on a three-game winning streak the Habs have failed to make up much ground, sitting in 12th overall.
And this is the problem with getting into an early season hole in today's NHL.
Reality aside, Montreal has their fans hoping that they can squeak in. And squeak in they can.
For Me, I see them either falling into a lottery pick position or winning just enough games to get fans excited, but ultimately fall short at season's end.
Ya, I know, not too optimistic but such is the reality the Habs find themselves in.

I agree with you that it's almost impossible for the Habs to clinch a playoff spot.
