from Damien Cox at ESPN,
So nobody, it’s fair to say, feels bad just yet for the Canadiens. If another 30 years go by, well, then we’ll see about sympathy.
But here’s what’s interesting.
This season has been such a trying experience for the Canadiens, with such a wide variety of on-ice and off-ice problems, that, lo and behold, this franchise just doesn’t feel that special any more.
Combined with the long wait since the last Cup, it seems ordinary, really.
More just like any number of other teams in the rapidly changing culture of a league in which teams like Carolina, Tampa Bay, Dallas and Colorado—teams that weren’t even in existence when Patrick Roy led the Habs to the ‘86 Cup—have made it to the mountaintop.
