Looking East, Habs are team to beat

Here’s an excerpt from Lyle Richardson’s (Spector) article in Foxsports.com where he makes predictions of which Eastern conference teams will make the playoffs:

Montreal Canadiens. The Habs are loaded with swift young talent which should continue to improve, especially forwards Thomas Plekanec and the Kostitsyn brothers, defenseman Mike Komisarek and goaltender Carey Price. Alex Kovalev, Andrei Markov, Roman Hamrlik and team captain Saku Koivu provide veteran talent and leadership and will be bolstered by the offense of Alex Tanguay and the toughness of Georges Laraque. Price must bounce back from a shaky playoff performance and their forwards must drive more to the net rather than play the periphery but otherwise there appears to be few weaknesses in the Canadiens’ game.
