For the first time in a long time, expectations were high for the Canadiens heading into this season.
“At the end of (last) season, Marc (Bergevin) told me where all the holes are on our roster and he filled every single one of them with the new players,” team owner/president Geoff Molson told former Canadien Chris Nilan during an interview on TSN 690 Radio before this season started. “So expectations, I think, are pretty high. I think hope is really high and I couldn’t ask for anything better because I couldn’t have answered that question in the same way a year ago and now I can. And so I think that our fans have something to look forward to and we’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.”
