After an emotional opening night win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Montreal Canadiens have settled a bit more into what many fans expected of them. The team dropped a 3-0 contest to the Detroit Red Wings, and followed that up with a 3-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.
The losses are something most people can deal with. The team was not expected to be a good one coming into this year, and it was a year to analyze the roster as Kent Hughes continues to improve his treasure trove of picks and prospects.
