With the Habs win today coupled with the Wild loss to the Blue Jackets, we have clinched the CPHL Presidents Trophy this year. I was expecting the Habs to have a rebound year after last year's rebuild, but I didn't expect this much success. GM Simmer had this to say:
"I'm pleased for the team, this is definitely a huge honour. But in 2 games it means absolutely nothing, that's when the real season begins. The Eastern Conference is very difficult and the lower seeds could easily knock out the top seeds so we need to be on top of our game."
