In watching the Sens v Habs game last night, I began to feel pity for the fans of the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs had dominated the play of the game, but not the score. They had discovered how to exploit the defence of the Ottawa Senators to gain scoring chance over scoring chance, but were not able to take advantage of them.
OK, so a team not being able to 'bury their chances' is nothing new - so why the pity?
Because Jacques Martin is their coach. When coaching the Ottawa Senators, Jacques Martin lost a lot of these games - games that his team dominated but couldn't win. This is a movie that has been seen before. Jacques Martin's team lost last night like his teams always lose.
So pity the Habs fans - they have a lot of heartbreaking losses coming this year.
