Heading into New Jersey on Thursday night, the Montreal Canadiens had won only four of their first 13 games. It isn’t just the losses that are discouraging. Montreal has the worst differential in the league, allowing 18 more goals than they have scored. They added to that total with a 5-3 loss to the Devils....
WATCH: The Canadiens gave up a combined 14 goals in the last two games, as they mark back-to-back losses falling 6-3 to the Washington Capitals on Thursday. Global’s hockey analyst Brian Wilde breaks down the game with Global's Brayden Jagger Haines.had won only four of their first 13 games. It isn’t just the losses that are discouraging. Montreal has the worst differential in the league, allowing 18 more goals than they have scored.
There was one other standout in the contest as Alex Newhook played like the forward that the Canadiens traded for. The key for Newhook is he has great speed, but he has to keep that stride going. It’s not enough to be a speed merchant and use that speed to arrive at the defender, but then glide.Aggressive play a double-edged sword for Raptors2024 Grey Cup Festival coming to Vancouver
The point is that Guhle will learn from that moment, even though it is likely that he will make the same error many times before it takes. Guhle will be a a first- or second-pair defender in this league. He will perhaps even be an all-star playing for Canada one day. Go check the Buffalo Sabres playoff record for the last decade. Check how the Detroit Red Wings are doing. Check how the Ottawa Senators rebuild is going. Those three clubs last made the playoffs in 2011, 2016, and 2017. And you’re fed up already?The best rebuilds of this century are the Chicago Blackhawks and the New York Rangers. Both of those rebuilds, they moved up the standings in season five. The Hawks won three cups. The Rangers have the tools to win cups as well.
The greater fear is that this group rises up and out before actually getting all of the components. They need that top-ranked centre, or the rebuild will resemble those clubs that don’t actually rise to the top, but just keep rebuilding like Buffalo or Detroit.
