Don't Despair...Everything Will Work Out...Hopefully!

Wow...these are desperate times and nothing seems to work. The Canadiens’ recent record is all of a sudden emulating my record playing 2K7 online (in case you don't know what that is, it is a hockey game one can play on XBOX live against people from around thw world...although the community is mainly North American and North West Europe). The worse part is the kid in first right now is a Maple Leafs fan and that really boils my canoly. His gamer name is less than flattering towards the HABS, but unfortunately it describes our recent performances rather accurately.

In any case, getting back on track, I know things don't look good but keep you chin up everyone. Again I'm hearing and reading people writing off the season, or stating that we might be able to squeeze in to the playoffs but would be eliminated in the first round.

Just remember that this slump we’re going through is but a fraction of what we endured last year, and that it will take one stretch of games to turn things around and regain our 0.800 winning record.

Don't despair; everything will work out...hopefully.

As a final note, having gone through this long slump (rather than the team recovering sooner), it forces the staff and management to treat our issues in a more significant way (i.e. Pursue the acquisition of a scorer or playmaker...such as Forsberg...relax I'm just speculating). Had the slump been shorter and our big weaknesses not exposed, the weaknesses would have gone, intelligently and appropriately, ignored by this management who utilises a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.

Better these issues are addressed and fixed now, than before it's too late...such as in the midst of a playoff series.
