The Canadiens played 3 games above .500 the last 20 games, so in a nut shell they were better. But with 42 games left that equates to about 49 more points and 88 points at the end of the season will not secure a playoff spot. The next 20 games leading us up to the deadline will determine if we are buyers, stand-patters or sellers.

Wilf Nestor has seen his share of rubber this season. His GAA and save % took a hit, but he still is winning games. Our back-ups have yet to win a game.

Montreal has already used 20 forwards this season. Much was to give some of the youth a chance to show their stuff. The growing pains are the lackluster special teams and defensive play. But the might as well find out what we got. Who knows, maybe they can heat up in the next 20 games. Montreal has LW
Ralph Blaney out for 1-2 months with a fractured cheekbone. Montreal also has C
Ben Archer out for 1-2 weeks with a tender elbow.
