Obviously this isn’t the way Mark Streit wanted his second stint with the Montreal Canadiens to go. There was a feeling of unease around the fanbase when he was originally signed in the summer. For many it hinted at the fact that Andrei Markov was actually not coming back.
Despite his age, there was still hope and optimism that Streit could do for the Habs what he did with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanely Cup run. Then reality hit. There’s no nice way to put it, Streit has been awful so far.
