Facts cloud your judgment? Kind of hard to rank teams when it wasn't a normal season. Then the playoffs hit and they took out the Leafs, manhandled the Jets and Knights. Sure, not a playoff team.I guess facts hurt your feelings. They were 10th among Eastern Conference teams.
Kinda easy to do it actually. You order the EC teams by points... They were 10th.Facts cloud your judgment? Kind of hard to rank teams when it wasn't a normal season. Then the playoffs hit and they took out the Leafs, manhandled the Jets and Knights. Sure, not a playoff team.

Ya Canadian teams collectively have had a tough time in the playoffs in the last 20 years but the Oilers are looking really strong this year and I wouldn't be surprised if they break the drought.So that's 39 series wins out of a possible ~280? That's a little more than half of where that number probably should be. Tough 20 years for Canadian teams. Especially since 3 of those were guaranteed thanks to the Covid year.

Yikes dude, you're willing to fabricate standings yet won't accept the result of head to head.Kinda easy to do it actually. You order the EC teams by points... They were 10th.
Well 2 don’t count 2020 they were in the expanded bubble playoffs 24th ranked team, or around there
2021, they were 18th, probably not a playoff team in a normal year. Habs fans don’t like it when that gets mentioned. But it’s the truth.

Do you remember that season at all? It wasn't that long ago. The divisions were totally different. Different conditions usually change the results. Just saying "10th in east" makes it sound like you truly have no idea what happened that year. What truly matters is how they manhandled multiple "playoff" teams in the actual playoffs. Do you recall? Again, it wasn't long ago.Not quite sure how you "Fabricate standings" by pointing out that they were 10th among EC teams lol.

You still don't get it.Have you read the thread at all? I literally said they benefitted from playing in a shit division due to COVID and wouldn't have made it under normal conditions.
You still don't get it.
"Normal circumstances" can't be compared because the situation WAS NOT NORMAL. Let's look at reality rather than trying to spin some bizarre narrative.
Please stop cluttering this thread with your alternate reality. There was no Eastern Conference that year, just like there was no Norris or Southeast Divisions. You can't rank point totals of teams that never played each other and proclaim who would and wouldn't have made the playoffs. In 2020/21, Montreal played precisely as many games against Swedish and Russian teams as they did against Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Florida, NY, Philly, Pittsburgh, etc. Do you not understand this?I don't get it? I've literally been saying that's the only reason they made it for pages now.
Reality is, in a normal year that Habs team doesn't make the playoffs. Not that difficult of a concept to grasp.

Yeah there's a lot of Montreal fans upset about it lol.It's also been rebutted adequately for pages.
The fact that you keep repeating the claim isn't a badge of honor.
