Canadiens: In Other News… Record Lows, Former Habs Get Fresh Start

The Montreal Canadiens are not a good hockey team.

There, now that we’ve addressed the elephant in the room, might as well beat a dead horse while were at it. To be frank, there’s not a whole lot more that can be said about what has been a positively dismal start to 2021-22, and the eventual admittance that this team is in need of a full blown rebuild.
