Of course there was. It was that time of the season where Montreal looks better than everyone in the world and we hope that means they'll be Cup contenders when the frost starts melting.
It happened in 15-16 with Tomas Fleichmann as the big Habs pickup. Then Price and Gallagher get hurt. Instead of trying to salvage the season (Montreal still had the second best record in the east on January 1st, 2016), Bergevin just watched the team burn itself out. Then they kept all of the coaching staff except an advisor and decided the team needed to get rid of their top defenceman in exchange for a guy who had one of the worst individual game playoff performances ever against the SJ Sharks.
Then in 16-17 with Alex Radulov added instead of Alex Semin, the team does the exact same thing! Best team in the league! So hot! Everyone excited! And then... the season starts going off the rails. With a healthy Carey Price. So to right the ship they fire Michel Therrien, one of the coaches protected from the 15-16 catastrophe, and at least finish at the best team in the dumpster fire Atlantic division. The only reason they won said division is because Ottawa crapped the bed in March and lost like three or four games against the Habs. They are now in the Conference final one game away from either elimination or the Stanley Cup final. Montreal meanwhile decided to nearly repeat 95-96 by taking a 2-1 lead in the series and then proceeding to be unable to score any goals while the captain got off with a "he's just snakebitten" excuse, Price gets blamed for not pitching a shutout, Radulov and Lehkonen look good at least, and Shea Weber once again starts strong and ends mild. Hope we don't hear the name of who he got traded for!
But yeah, there were far less posts in October/November because October/November hockey only matters to Brian Savage and... uh, you?
