The Montréal Canadiens have had what can only be described as a dismal season. Just one damn thing after another: injuries, terrible trades, and the firing of two good coaches. Result? Les not-so-Glorieux finished 15th -- dead last -- in the NHL's Eastern Conference. And 28th overall in a league of 30 teams. Dismal.There's a lesson here for us fans. Not quite two months ago, Walt urged les amateurs de la Flanelle to have faith. Lots of faith! Unfortunately, faith alone seems insufficient, when that faith is in mere mortals. (Hello, Scotty Gomez!) It will take someone with supernatural powers -- as player, coach or both -- to turn le Club de Hockey Canadien around and restore it to its customary winning ways. Let us pray.
Meanwhile, at last night's last game in the Bell Centre, a scoreboard video offered thanks to Habs fans for their patience, and promised a better next season in 2012-13. Walt has been unable to capture and embed the video, but you can see what the fans saw on the Habs website. Walt wishes all Montréal partisans a pleasant summer. See you in September!
