MONTREAL, QC — After the Habs were eliminated from the playoffs on Monday night, there was a feeling of emptiness.
Given that it had taken 17 years to get as far as the Eastern Conference finals, being ousted in 5 games left a bitter feeling. We were grumpy, with a touch of inner pride.
Seems that we weren’t the only ones feeling that way. Today, when asked to comment on the success of the Habs this season, Hal Gill said, “It doesn’t really matter if you don’t win.”
Players have cleared out their lockers and there’s little reason to head to Brossard. There’s a realization that Habs hockey is done for the season. Now, I pleased to announce that depression has set in. Is that progress?
Tomorrow we will begin the review of the season just past and a look ahead.
How are you feeling?
