When the Canadiens came back from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the New York Islanders on Monday, Habs fans were on cloud nine. When they blew a 3-1 lead in losing to the New York Rangers on Tuesday, Habs fans were cautiously optimistic, as they could cite fatigue as an explanation. When the Canadiens dropped a back-and-forth 6-5 decision to the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday in a game that featured defenders but very little defending, a “power” play that was powerful in name only, and a Rasmus Ristolainen game-winning goal on Carey Price via an unscreened slapshot from the circle, you could see smoke begin to come out of the ears of the Montreal faithful.
