Montreal lost 4-1 last night to the Bruins...
from Mike Boone of Hockey Inside/Out,
You can’t put a positive spin on the Canadiens’ recent results.
They haven’t won a game in regulation time since before the Olympics.
Their only win on the recent road trip was against Anaheim – which, their lofty point total notwithstanding, lost at home to the Leafs and got smoked in Calgary.
It has been obvious for a couple weeks now that the Canadiens can’t win without Carey Price. And the condition of Team Canada’s gold-medal goaltender is a mystery....
Informed speculation – if that isn’t an oxymoron – has Price battling a groin injury. The healing process cannot be rushed, and a premature return to action might jeopardize the future of the Canadiens’ most valuable player.
The Canadiens are still six points clear of ninth-place Detroit. but the Red Wings have two games in hand.
