I was waxing nostalgic the other day about the great Habs teams of the 1970s. That team had it all--offense, defence, goaltending, everything. They dominated at both ends of the ice, literally expecting to win everytime they took the ice. As I recall every loss was a shock. It was a fantastic time to be a fan. ;D
My question is--can it ever be done again?
Is there cause to hope the Habs could ever again be dominant--that is, a team which expects to win the Stanley Cup? Or is the best we can hope for is to have a good, competitive team which might have a legitimate shot at a championship?
Is true greatness within the realm of possibility?
I suspect it will be hard--given the size of the league and economic realities--for any team to become truly dominant. What do the rest of you think?
I hope this doesn't get gloomy.
