from Mike Boone of Hockey Inside/Out,

It’s the last week of November, but the winter of our discontent is starting early.

And there is cause for concern.

In their six regulation losses, the Canadiens have been outscored 30-3.

They’ve been shut out four times. Only Buffalo, with five, has had more goose eggs....

A few themes:

• David Desharnais is not a top-line centre.

• Dressing 11 forwards and seven defencemen doesn’t work.

• P.K. Subban is not earning his $9 million.
