In baseball terms, that is 3 games back with 11 to play. Extremely doable. Some examples:
In 2009 the Tigers had a 3 game lead with four to play. They finished tied and lost the one game playoff.
Who can forget the Jays in 1987. 3.5 game lead with 7 to play and finished 2 back.
The 1978 Red Sox, the 2007 Mets. Lots of examples.
What we need more than anything is a good old fashioned losing streak for the Canadiens. Just a monumental collapse that snowballs on them.

Limping into the playoffs on the coat tails of another teams collapse only to end up drafting 20-31 would be the typical flames move.
This team is not going anywhere, cut your loses and move on from this season. Bring up some kids and let them play, see what you’ve got for next year.
This team needs to re-tool/rebuild the core, let’s not hang on to the same hope we’ve held into for the last 15+ years. Let’s fix the issue.
