After enduring a tough stretch of road tilts and 11 games in 20 nights, do the Canadiens have enough gas left in the tank to persevere through the extremely tight playoff race they’re entrenched in? (EricEngels)
The risk that they wouldn’t have the energy to do it has been there since the beginning of the season, when coach Claude Julien instituted a system that would demand a full-throttle effort at both ends of the ice. He warned several times — after the Canadiens got off to a 6-2-2 start — that it would be up to the group to prove they could sustain the speed game they were catching teams off guard with.
“[Fatigue] would be the lamest excuse we could ever find [for not executing the system],” he said. “I think right now it’s more about having the willingness to do it. We’ve given guys lots of rest, there’s no reason to be tired. If anything, we’re a quick team because we have good skaters. That’s why we’re playing a fast game. It’s not one of those things where we’re pushing the guys to play faster than they can and because of that they’re exhausted. Absolutely not.
