I've been writing about the Habs for more than 30 years. Good seasons and (mostly) bad. I've never seen a bunch this together, this fiery, this determined not to lose. And for sure I've never seen a turnaround this complete. Now they have to sustain it. - ThreadSky

Nice to be looking at the standings for playoff position and not draft position.
This turn around has been something.

Speaking of turnaround, I don't remember the last time they've sustained such a long period of being relatively injury free. It's been a few seasons that's for sure.

I have been following them for more than double your number.....I'm an older fan.
MSL has got them playing at an incredible level. They're playing as a totally united team. Turnaround from earlier this season is amazing. They will stay in the mix and perhaps exceed this....and they are fun to watch.

Well I've been following them since 1970. Only came on the beat in 1994.

You have been an excellent Habs fan since 1970! Glad you're on board.

Honestly I worked NOT to be a fan during the years I was on the beat full-time. It's important to be objective and for a lot of those years they were do bad it was easy not to be a fan.

I love the Habs....but they have not been good for a while....I paid them less attention....
For some reason the hire of the new mgt team has brought back the confidence that they will be great again. And, they will, sooner than later.

It's been a long time, but the on ice talent is there(with more on the way) and they have the right people running things. Finally, a team to get legitimately excited over.

It’s like a totally different team from the start of the year. That team would have fallen apart after giving up 2 goals in 20 seconds, and it would have been a blow out. This team, no panic at all, straight back to dominating possession and creating a ton of scoring chances, fun to watch

The impressive thing for me is the overall team effectiveness. They’re not winning with an outstanding power play (Souray/Carbo era) or getting roundly outshot and relying on the goalie to keep them in it (Price era).

They’re playing smart, aggressive, connected hockey and it’s working.

Man, I really hope this turnaround is for real...
