Hallelujah…the Habs have finally clinched a playoff spot. Well, not clinched it so much as watched Atlanta lose their chance at one. All that remains is jockeying for first-round opponents; I’m hoping that the fates conspire to put them up against Ottawa. The Senators have been killer all season, but they’ve been beatable lately and Montreal’s done ok against them this year. The other possible matchup — Carolina — would be less favourable; the Hurricanes have demolished the Habs every time they’ve played this season.
