The Habs saved an ugly finish with two wins to take the Northeast. Carey Price has given up at least two goals in eight straight, though.

The Canadiens have lost four of the last five games. In those losses they are averaging -- averaging! -- 5.75 goals against per game. I think a lot of teams would like to draw them in the first round right now.

That awful first period against Toronto on Saturday night aside, the Canadiens continue to look good, in a nip-and-tuck race with the Bruins in the Northeast. And yes, that matters because I don't think the Habs want to play Toronto in a best-of-7 series.

The Canadiens don't do any one thing great but they seem to do pretty much everything well. It's a very balanced team both in terms of scoring and overall play. They're no fluke.

The Habs have won seven of their past nine. The only two losses? Both to Buffalo. Huh? ... Their balance is impressive, with 13 players in double figures in scoring. That balance makes it a lot easier to sustain the winning.

Speaking of win streaks, the Habs are working on another one of their own, now at five straight. Still holding onto the Northeast now that Boston has almost caught up in games.

The Habs aren't going to go away, and are on another three-game streak. For the first season since the Panthers existed, the Habs will not lose a game to Florida. Kind of crazy.

Heck of a win in Boston on Sunday night; they showed they're for real but need to be a little more consistent to move above the B's. They have more points than the B's and just beat them, but they've also played three more games.

What a stunning turnaround for this team so far. Both Marc Bergevin and Michel Therrien have to be on the short lists to win the awards for their respective roles, right?

Three up, three down. The Habs can't decide which way to go. ... Brendan Gallagher being out is tough. He's quietly been very good playing with Alex Galchenyuk.

Everything went wrong for the Canadiens last season, so it's certainly possible they have a bounceback season and push for the playoffs. First they need more scoring depth; only four forwards had more than 30 points last season.
