If Sunday’s game had happened in a regular tank year, it would have been a triumph. A close game right until the end but still ending in no points. But let’s put away those rose-coloured glasses for a moment and be honest. As a Montreal Canadiens fan, this stinks. It would be great to get at least two wins in a row — and win at all — if for no other reason than to rinse our mouths of this “shark sandwich” we’ve had to eat all year.
As fans, we didn’t walk into this year thinking it would be this bad.
