7:05 PM EST. OT included. We’ll say it until we’re blue in the face that hockey is the most luck-driven sport of them all and it’s not even close. In no other sport do teams dominate so often and lose and a case could be made that this year’s Canadiens are one of the unluckiest of them all. It’s hard to imagine that a team this good could miss the playoffs but that’s precisely how it’s looking for the Habs. The good news is and the only thing we care about is that there is great value on Montreal based on its recent poor results. As long as the market keeps putting more emphasis on results over performances, we’ll continue to try and take advantage because Montreal is playing at a high level.

Montreal has dropped two in a row and four of five. See that 2-0 loss to Chicago in Saturday? Montreal outshot the Blackhawks 48-24 and outchanced them 33-16. They also ,lost 2-1 to the Islanders the game prior and there was a headline in a popular publication that read: Greiss Brillant in 2-1 Win over Montreal. In a 5-2 loss in San Jose, Montreal outchanced the Sharks 33-19 and outshot them 39-24. Since February 11th, a span of 18 games or so, Montreal ranks second in the entire league in Corsi For % during five-on-five play, 7th in High Danger Chances For, 4th in Scoring Chances and 6th in High Danger Chances Against. The Montreal Canadiens are outplaying everyone and losing. Sometimes we say winning is unsustainable but in the case of the Habs, losing is unsustainable and the teams that are going to the playoffs better hope that Montreal misses. Meanwhile, under the hood, Philadelphia doesn’t come close to matching anything the Canadiens are doing, period.
