The Habs had the easiest schedule to start the year. That's where they scored those "fifteen more goals"
They got to face Koskinen twice against the Oilers twice
They got to face a Van team that struggled to play anything resembling defense out of the gate five times
They got to face a Ward-coached Flames team twice.
These were nine of their first ten games.
They've come right back down to Earth since then, and over a normal 82 game season would not have made the playoffs or outscored Calgary.
