Well, I know some will point to the quote above and relate it to character issues rumoured to be happening with 2018 Brandon Saad.

I'm not fully buying it though.

Saad's father, George, immigrated to the US from Syria when he was just 18-years-old.

Knowing this, and the current state of Syria, the Saad's heritage, one has to think that Brandon's character is of elite quality.

Good game for the Habs ... like most games this year, they were fast and persistent.

I don't know how they do it, but they look so much better than they did all of last season despite being weaker on paper. They're now pleasant to watch, though I very much doubt this winning is sustainable.

As long as they keep the games entertaining its a big improvement over the last decade+. The dump and chase, score a goal and turtle style was boring AF. This team is fun to watch and thats a win by itself.

The Blues D really helped them out big time tonight.

Here is the difference - we have seen them play well against teams that are having D problems, either too slow (Red Wings) or not positionally sound (Blues, and Toronto to an extent), or just plain suck (Pens... and Red Wings) - the Habs speed eats them up, which they did not do at all last year.

But run into a team with a decent D core that can pound our small D into the boards, and we have trouble (ie: Kings) getting decent scoring chances / shot from good locations.

Last year's empty stands (and low TV ratings) was a wake up call to the Habs management it seems.

Habs are on pace for 123 points more likely to draft McCarron lite than a Suzuki

Habs won't finish the year with 123 points

And they will be drafting a D anyway

Man, Lehkonen just can't finish a play! How long will this last? Was his first year a fluke with 18(?) goals??
