The Montreal Canadiens are going to miss the postseason for the third consecutive season. General manager Marc Bergevin would normally be in some hot water after three straight non-playoff years, but it seems him and owner Geoff Molson are very much on the same page and are likely to continue working together into the future.
The Habs roster has been a bit stagnant lately. It seems this is the third straight year we were hoping that basically the same roster would somehow now get into the playoffs. They missed by a wide margin two years ago, just missed last year in a tight wildcard race and are going to miss out his year even though third place in their division has been ripe for the picking all year.
