But at least, some of them did a nice favor to the team with very timely injuries (Brisebois, Smolinski. I'm not speaking of Begin, who is never really hurting the team when he plays)<BR/><BR/>I love the unnamed heroes of this team: Gorges, Chips, Kosto. They are all working hard without too much notice, but I think the team owes them a lot.<BR/><BR/>It's great to see the habs having 3 lines that can score and generate some chances even on 5 on 5, and yet still have the same PP success.<BR/><BR/>So I think we have a team with much more balance than last year. A mini-slump is not excluded at some point in the second half of the season, but I really don't think we'll see something like last year's complete meltdown. Good goaltending, a better defense and a more balanced offense should prevent this.<BR/><BR/>I'm hopeful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
