from Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette,
This is what the bottom of the barrel looks like.
The Canadiens lost Monday night, and they lost horrendously, surrendering two shorthanded goals while rolling over 6-2 against the Calgary Flames to begin a six-game road trip.
This is a team, head coach Guy Carbonneau almost need-lessly said, that needs to rediscover its passion. And more.
“A fear of losing is okay. It makes you play better. But a fear of playing is (not), and that’s where we are right now,” Carbonneau said, ashen-faced. “We’re afraid to play. Afraid to make mistakes, afraid to let down the other guy.”
