After a roller coaster-like season that seemed to go down more than up, the final report cards are in and the Habs players grades are being posted on the wall for all to see.
At long last, the 2015-2016 season is over for the Montreal Canadiens. Despite a tremendous beginning to the year, key injuries and bad luck ultimately doomed a team which many had considered to be legitimate contenders for the Stanley Cup.
The Canadiens 2015-16 season is finally over, and the HabsWorld gang of Norm Szcyrek, Jonathan Rebelo and Paul Macleod performed their post-mortum of the team. Topics included the mishandling of Carey Price, the mismanagement by Montreal’s coaches, the future of P.K. Subban, and more.
The IceCaps ended their year on a positive note as they won their final game of the season while making a big impact in the playoff race. Meanwhile, the Habs had their annual end-of-season press conference. Marc Bergevin’s decisions, or indecisions, is the focus of my Final Thought.

Day two of the 2016 NHL playoffs begin Thursday night. The HabsWorld writers share their predictions on the rest of the first round series.

While neither the Habs nor the IceCaps will be postseason bound, both squads put forth some of their better performances compared to recent weeks, picking up a pair of wins apiece.
