Without really digging into it, the Habs kind of remind me of the 04 Flames. Underdog status, strong leadership, elite goalie, defensive system with total player buy in, good coaching, and are hot at the right time. They lack an Iginla, but Toffoli has put up 10 points in 11 games which ain't too shabby. They even have a Niemenan and Montador.
I think they have zero chance against Colorado or Vegas, but we all said the same thing about Detroit. And San Jose.
Maybe they make it to the finals vs Tampa, the bolts win in Montreal, and this effin curse moves to TB from us.
