Habs?

It's a depressing day when I'm not excited to sit down and watch a hockey game. Every team has a slump...and every team plays bad games but it's just painful when a team packed with talent plays with zero passion. I don't know whether the team got too high and mighty and assumed they would just roll past teams straight to the Stanley Cup...or if the pressure from the city for the 100th season is weighing too much on their shoulders, but whatever the excuse something needs to be done now or I may go into a depression. I wish I was paid 4 million dollars to skate around in circles and lose the puck. No wonder players have no drive anymore. Might as well have a team of monkeys in jerseys out there.

You need someone in your dressing room to step up and wake the other guys up. Saku has stood out more then anyone over the past 2 weeks and it's clear that he's trying to get everyone back on track but when Tanguay's the only one listening and Kovalev has his hands over his ears...well no one gets anywhere. People can sit there and point fingers and whichever players they want, but the team as a whole has been just awful over the past two weeks(Ottawa game aside). The only person who can back away from all this criticism is Carey Price who played an outstanding game tonight. It's too bad he had to stand on his head and make 46 saves in a losing effort. If anybody deserved a win tonight it was him. I don't know where Higgins has disappeared to or why I'm having 06-07 flashbacks to Kovalev. It's Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde with that man.
On to Ottawa....where the Sens are actually playing worse hockey then us, if that's even possible. That game should be interesting. Someone will have to win and it'll be a toss up between shitty and shittier. Maybe they'll both just self destruct out on the ice but I have confidence that Carey Price can outplay Alex Auld. At this point though...I shouldn't get my hopes up.
