Because the Canadiens have not been afflicted by injuries as it did last year, I thought it might reap four or five more points in the standings. However, this is not what happened. The Canadian knows a difficult journey and Michel Therrien knows that when things do not go well, you start asking questions about the coach. It’s like this with every team in the NHL..

The return home could be a defining period in his case. The Canadian will receive the New York Rangers Thursday, the Buffalo Sabres Saturday and the Calgary Flames on Monday. Three teams playing in the bar, 500. The Canadiens need to win these games. If the Canadiens do not get the hoped-for number of victories during this homestand, it is possible that the Canadiens coach is under scrutiny. That’s the job of coaching in the NHL. This is nothing against the individual, but when a team does not win, the coach is always the first one who throws the blame.

Many players have proven to be pleasant surprises for the Canadiens in the first half of the season. The four players that have caught my attention the most are Saku Koivu, Andrei Markov, Yanic Perrreault and Richard Zednik.

Holding the Canadiens captain is amazing. Afflicted by cancer last year, the small Finnish forward has collected nearly a point per game, which he played all the Habs games.
