Habs fans shouldn’t give up hope: rebuilding a team doesn’t happen overnight.
Mitch Melnick and Stu Cowan have some advice for Montreal Canadiens fans: patience, patience, patience.
“This is year three of the rebuild, and rebuilds don’t happen in three years,” said Cowan, a Gazette sports columnist, in this latest episode of The Corner Booth.
Melnick, the host of Melnick in the Afternoon on TSN 690, agrees that more time is needed before the Habs are playoffs-ready.
“Anybody who thought the Canadiens were gonna make the playoffs this season was seriously deluding themselves,” said Melnick.
“Maybe not this team as we speak today, but this franchise is gonna be fine.”
