The month of January for the Montreal Canadiens has been, to say the least, a very strange one.

The week that was for the Montreal Canadiens was an interesting one, not good or bad, but interesting.

In terms of points, it wasn’t entirely a bad week for the Montreal Canadiens, although that stinker in Ottawa makes it harder to remember that.

This week was one to forget for the Montreal Canadiens, on more levels than one. The virus that is ravaging the team is bad enough, let alone the subpar performances that came as a result.

It was a week that started off strong for the Montreal Canadiens, but by the end, the team’s performance was uglier than a 3-month old fruitcake.

All in all, it was a fairly strong week for the Montreal Canadiens, going 2-1 despite an iffy effort Saturday vs the Bruins.

The Canadiens this past week was one to remember, although not necessarily for a good thing.

The Canadiens once again wound up with 4 of a possible 6 points this week, but it certainly could’ve been much worse, with a 0-goal victory, an ugly loss to Carolina, and a mostly ugly win vs Toronto.

The Montreal Canadiens this past week won 2 of 3 games for the second straight week, including a last-second OT thriller in Buffalo on Friday night.

For the 2nd straight week, it was a tale of 2 different teams for the Montreal Canadiens, but fortunately, the good team showed up more often than the bad one did.
