A few nights ago, the Montreal Canadiens iced a roster that resembled the Laval Rocket more than an NHL lineup, and struggled in a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators.
The trend continued with a more experienced lineup in another 5-1 loss, this time to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.
The Canadiens were to roll into Ricoh Coliseum with a reinforced roster, carrying a line up with the big guns, such as Max Pacioretty, Jonathan Drouin, and Shea Weber.
However, things started to go wrong even before the game began.
