Did you ever read the Dr. Seus story, The Zax. Basically, these two characters who are very stubborn only choose to either walk north or south and never in any other direction. One day, they end up blocking each other’s path and neither move over causing them to stand there in that spot for year’s as the rest of the world around them grows. That’s kind of how things are going for the Montreal Canadiens right now.
Just for a side note, I’m not criticizing anything going on with the team. The reason why that comparison fits is that the Habs haven’t played since Sunday.
