Will the CanadiensMTL reach the playoffs, or miss for the third season in a row? EricEngels makes three bold predictions out of Montreal for the year ahead.
I’m going for bold here, but not Doritos Bold. I don’t want the flavour of these to be too off-putting, so I’m more angling for things that might actually happen versus ridiculous stuff that probably never will.
What makes it bold, though, is two-fold. First off, the Canadiens certainly wouldn’t be considered an on-paper favourite to finish ahead of the Toronto Maple Leafs or Tampa Bay Lightning, and we’re not sure most people would consider them a favourite to beat the Florida Panthers or Buffalo Sabres to second or third in the division, either. And secondly, 23 of Montreal’s 45 remaining games will be played away from the Bell Centre.
There’s plenty of risk that I’ll be wrong about this prediction—especially if the Canadiens completely fall apart from here to the end of the season. But even if I’m wrong on my first prediction that they’ll finish in one of the top three spots in the division, I still think they’ll be in the fight for a playoff spot until the bitter end.
