I don’t think anyone would have foreseen an eight-game losing streak with the way the team was playing in the early part of the season. November was supposed to be the easy month of the schedule. Instead, it buried the Habs.
It wasn’t just in the standings. A mountain of doubt is now pressing hard on the shoulders of players. Confidence is gone, creativity slowly erased, and team play is on the brink of being replaced by individualistic attempts that would only further sink a team lacking the talent necessary to win this way.
It’s bleak.
It’s always more productive to look to the future, forget the past and try to start anew.
