Preds had never beaten the hawks - who were favoured to win the cup. They not only beat them but shut them down completely. The unreliable, risky Subban totally shut down captain serious.
as for the Habs, the finished with the 9th worst record because they didn't have Price. They had pretty much the same start last year as this year. Only diffe nice was they had Price for the entire year.
the great leadership and character of Weber and Shaw was supposed to take the Habs deep in the playoffs. Instead, the GM who made every deal on the guise of improving the character, leadership and experience of the guys he picked up, said the team was too fragile. I thought it was a bad deal before the season started. The result just validated my opinion.
