A significant portion of the Montreal Canadiens fan base will be upset about them beating the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night. The win won’t help the Habs do the unthinkable and make the playoffs, and it’ll do even less in helping their chances of landing Connor Bedard. Altogether, a bad night of hockey if you’re a denizen of tank nation.
But I must implore everyone to look on the bright side — with the trade deadline quickly approaching, we’re seeing some performances that could make Kent Hughes’s job very easy.
Not gaining any ground in the draft lottery department should be easier to stomach when players who stand to be potential trade bait heat up at the right time.
