The Race In The East

from Red Fisher of the Montreal Gazette,
So what about the Canadiens, a team almost everyone selected to repeat as Eastern Conference champions? Thirty-three games into the schedule, they’ve had their high moments when they were healthy, lows in recent weeks when regulars such as Saku Koivu, Price, Christopher Higgins and Mike Komisarek were sidelined. It’s no coincidence that after losing three in a row, the Canadiens have won two and got a point last night following Komisarek’s return to the lineup. Koivu, I’m told, should be back soon, perhaps by Saturday, which leaves Higgins as the only one with a long-term injury.
In other words, while they trail the surprising Boston Bruins by a generous 10 points following their 6-3 victory over St. Louis yesterday, they’re still in the race with 49 games remaining in the schedule. It won’t be easy, because the Bruins, for the first time in a long time, appear to be the real deal and several other teams in the East are in hot pursuit.
