It's an easy one to spot. The problem is they have this glorious history and mediocre quarter century since anything approaching a dynasty.
Hell, the last superstars were Patrick Roy and Stephane Richer with a slight nod to the couple of very good (and nasty) years Vinny Damphousse had with le Canadien in the early '90's.
Since then?
(Clearing throat)...the only fun we've really had since 1993 was 2010's Halak Miracle and he was jettisoned for the still unproven Luongo-Price. Not a classy (or Schmart) move. Disgusting.
But the signing of Eric Cole and the possibility of one or two roast beefsters on the D and or 3rd or 4th line (Konopka, he of 300+ penalty minutes?) along with the blossoming of PK, MaxPac, Eller well...funny how things can change.
Yes it's a crime Pouliot was given the "Breezer" hyena treatment by some mouth breathers (not good enough for Habs service he signs with the Stanley Cup champions) and bringing back yes another 5'8" 180 nobody from the K...well... YAWN.
But the thought of Max and Cole causing havoc up front and in the crease itself...well...even I have to say I am the most optimistic I've been in...two years. Ha.
Come on October.
Now who's going to break Chara's nose for me???
