It’s likely beginning to sound like a broken record at this point, but the Montreal Canadiens under new head coach Martin St. Louis have looked like an entirely different club than the one that spiralled to the bottom of the standings under Dominique Ducharme. Across the board, the team looks like they took a dip into the Lazarus Pit and came out as the best version of itself, and it’s finally lifted the Habs out of the last spot in the standings.
Barring Andrew Hammond going on another miraculous Hamburglar run in a Habs sweater, it’s nigh impossible for Montreal to make any kind of playoff threat.
