Habs’ Numbers Raise a Bigger Question Than the Scoreboard

The Canadiens are getting a hard look, and the numbers are forcing the issue. When the stat sheet and the eye test both start leaning the same way, the conversation in Montreal gets a lot less comfortable. This is the kind of postgame debate that usually points to deeper habits, not just one bad night. The bigger question is whether the Habs were actually pushed around or whether the underlying metrics are telling the fuller story.
