the habs are for real, if anything , they're underachieving right now IMO...
they could easily be where Buffalo is if they'd not lost games to teams like the Bruins, Panthers, Leafs, and Blackhawks (and even the first game of the season against the Sabres)...
all games they could've won too if they'd turned in a full 60 minute performance, rather than only 40-20 minute ones...
there's about 8 points that they could've added to the season total if they would've won the games i just mentioned...which would have them only one point behind the Sabres (Buffalo would have 42 points instead of 44), with a game in hand on them.
Higgins' return should be a huge boost too...although I must say, Gui has been doing a great job filling in for me...it worries me to think what will become of the lines when Higgins returns...they both seem to work so well with Koivu and Ryder...
