The Montreal Canadiens have gone from Stanley Cup finalists in July to bottom dwellers through half of the 2021-22 season. Here is a look at where they stand. (EricEngels)

have gone from Stanley Cup finalists in July to bottom dwellers through half of the 2021-22 season.

Price isn’t the only one who’s been absent all along. Captain Shea Weber came out of the 2021 Stanley Cup Final too injured to continue his playing career. Paul Byron was supposed to be back from off-season hip surgery in late December and has yet to appear in a game. Finally, Joel Edmundson suffered a back injury on the first day of training camp and is still facing an uncertain timeline for his return.

It took down the front office within eight weeks of the start of the season, and it plundered the Canadiens to their worst first half in franchise history. Admittedly, the short off-season and extra pressure Petry put on himself in Weber’s absence knocked him off kilter, but he’s had a hard time regaining his stride.
