Sometimes, I don't understand these Canadiens. They go on a hot streak where their play is near-perfect, and then they revert back to their lazy habits. Their game against Carolina was atrocious - they took a ridiculous number of penalties, and did nothing to salvage David Aebischer's debut for the Habs (Aebischer, on the other hand, played quite well given the circumstances).

Does this look like a team that wants to do some damage in the playoffs, or one that's just going through the motions? The way the Canadiens have been playing, I don't think we'll ever know.
