Children of the Dark Years

Let me explain to you my situation with the Montreal Canadiens. Born in 1985 i can say that i have been a habs fan since the 1996-1997 season (roughly around the age of 12). During this time period (from 1996-2008) the historic montreal candiens have won the stanley cup 0 times, have won the presidents trophy 0 times, have won the eastern conference 0 times, have won the northeast divison 0 times, have made the playoffs 5 times, have had home ice in the playoffs 0 times, have advanced to the eastern conference semi-final 3 times have advanced to the eastern conference final 0 times, have had a 50 goal scorer 0 times, have had a 100 point player 0 times. I dont know about you but thats alot of 0's. Here is my problem...I LOVE THE CANADIENS. Canadien fans born within the time frame of lets say (1982-1992) are to me, concidered children of the dark years. Fans born in the 50's and the 60's will never understand what we are going through, after all they did see probably over 15 cups in there lifetimes. Now considering what i have gone through within my time as being a Montreal Canadiens fan i feel more confortable in explaining to you where i believe the Canadiens will finish this season. I predict that the canadiens will end up anywhere from 7th-10th in the Eastern Confercne. I am not just basing my prediction on history alone, i just feel that they do not have enough talent to go around to stay where they are in the standing right now. Please forgive my pessimism, for i am a child of the dark ages...
