They say it ain't over till it's over. Well, now it's over. There will be no miracle run.
We've known it was going to happen for a long while, but now it's official. With the loss to the Rangers, the Boston win, and the game between Philadelphia and Detroit guaranteeing one team two points, the Habs are officially eliminated from the playoffs.
No miracle run can save them now. Not that it was looking likely beforehand.
It was a season of historic highs, and historic lows, ending in a seemingly never-ending nightmare. Between the meteoric rise, and the staggering collapse, it was a season of extremes.
