Condon starts for the Sens.
A win tonight combined with a Boston loss puts us tied with Detroit, whom we face tomorrow, for a playoff spot. Pretty weak division.

Which is precisely why playoffs are all about match ups, and this notion of elite team is somewhat far fetched in today's NHL. Every team has at least one Achilles heel, some more than one. Bruins could beat everyone but had a miserable time vs Habs. STL just couldn't handle the Hawks.A win tonight combined with a Boston loss puts us tied with Detroit, whom we face tomorrow, for a playoff spot. Pretty weak division.
So they're honoring Dr. Recchi before the game tonight I see.
Will Max shake his hand?
I don't buy Detroit, IMO TBay & Leafs will also come back towards rest of the pack. If Habs can win these 3 division games this week, I expect they'll significantly close that TBay / Leafs gap by Xmas - assuming Weber's back in the next few games.Yep , it will pretty much come down to a playoff battle for the # 3 position in the Atlantic Division between Montreal, Detroit, Boston and Ottawa. I was thinking maybe the Islanders and or Devils will come back down to earth and the Habs may have a shot at a wild card, but not sure anymore, those two teams are not slowing down.
