The reason why the lack of respect is getting silly is because it goes
back to last season, or the season before for that matter.
As of this moment, tonight, Montreal is the only team that has been in the
top-4 of their conference for the last three seasons! Pittsburgh is just
barely outside the line at the moment, but they are the only other team
close to that level of success/consistency.
Montreal did take it on the chin in the play-offs against Ottawa, but
learned and had a nice run last season. If Price hadn't been injured in
game one who know what would have happened?
The fat Montreal is always in the top-4 and gets 0 respect is evidence, to
me, of a clear Hab's bias. Any other team would be getting tons of kudos
for this level of performance/consistency. Leafs fans would likely do
unseemly acts with donkey's it'd make the Leafs as good as the Hab's, but
until then they'll argue the Hab's just aren't REALLY good. Just two-and-a-
half seasons of fluky hockey.
