It's been a tough week for the Canadiens, who just thawed out in front of their fans at the Bell Center twice in a row: 5-1 against the Kings, then 7-0 against the Stars. Collectively, we talk about collective and cumulative differential minus-11 in two games.
Habs players don't shoot enough their goalkeepers are not doing their joband when faced with large, experienced teams, coaching staff I can't find a solution.
Yes, the Canadiens are still in first place in the Atlantic Division, but they are also on a four-game losing streak. And they've won just one of six games this season against the team that made the playoffs last year.
Yesterday everything went wrong. Lane Hutson was probably the worst Habs player since minus-7 differential this week.

Hutson has trouble playing against the league's big teams. Perhaps it's time to move it back to the left instead of the right?
Worst loss in Bell Center history
The Bell Center opened on March 16, 1996. The Habs have played their home games there for nearly thirty years.
However, they have never suffered such a serious defeat as yesterday against the Stars.
This is historically the worst loss in Habs history at the Bell Center. This is no small feat!
The club's worst home loss occurred on December 2, 1995, when one Patrick Roy was playing his last game for the Habs. But this game was played at the Montreal Forum, as were the games on January 19, 1974 (8-0 in favor of the Bruins) and November 15, 1947 (9-1 in favor of the Bruins).
It is worth noting that The Habs also suffered a 9-2 loss to the Penguins on Dec. 12 in front of their home fans, but StatMuse Statistics consider a 7-0 loss worse than a 9-2 loss..
Sure, the Habs already lost 10-0 in Columbus, but I'm talking about home losses this morning.
How will the Canadiens bounce back against the Bruins tomorrow…at the Bell Centre? Let's see.
