NHL/LNH : why the panic mode ?

No hockey analyst or commentator expected the Habs to start their season so well.

All predicted it would not last. All also predicted the Habs would not free fall as they had the past season.

Then, when the Habs lose two games in a row and return to earth, all forget what they said and press the panic button.

Because this is the media game and they live on it ? Because they have very short memories ? Or, more upsetting, because they did not believe what they said in the first place about the Habs not risking the same fate as last year ?

Worse, when you would expect a coach to calm things down as the going starts to get mildly rough, Carbonneau too seems to forget all that he said about the improved depth of the team and his increased comfort in his position.

What if the Habs had lost the Toronto shoot out ?

(P.M.)
