Canadian teams just seem to not want to win. With Toronto more concerned with shooting themselves in the foot the moment they reach the playoffs every year; Winnipeg, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa more concerned with cycles of more or less mediocrity; Edmonton who have to rely on 2 players to get them through you’re left with the Habs who can’t seem to get it together for long enough to make a real impact.
Canucks (my team) seem to be preoccupied with one more trade or one more overpaid free agent and we’ll squeak in but when that doesn’t work out they shit the bed again, just like this year and it’s looking worse the next with absolutely nothing in the cupboards (though the Calder cup win makes things look a little better). But we’re about to sabotage the career of the greatest player we’ve ever had because ownership refuses to have a genuine rebuild.

It’s tragic that Florida won, but the drought continues

There’s still hope for the Habs to end the drought they originally set. If the Oilers can’t do it then hopefully they can! God tier rebuild, everything seems to have panned out extremely well in my (heavily biased) opinion.
