Play Through Adversity

As of late, the Canadiens have been presented with some adversity to overcome. Eric Staal was acquired via trade and has been injected into an offensive role, while Carey Price and Brendan Gallagher have gone down due to injury.

Those series of events has caused some line juggling and uncertainty among the Canadiens’ forward group. All good teams at some point during the season will be faced with injuries, trades, and sub par play from their top players. It is how these teams deal with that adversity that shows whether they are built for success or failure.

So far, the Canadiens have not dealt with the loss of their star players very well. Other players in the lineup will need to step up and fill the void left by their counterparts.

If the Canadiens wish to be a contending team, they will need to find a way to battle through whatever is thrown their way.
