Of course, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. At the same time, die-hard fans are going to stick with their club of choice. I knew in September that the Leafs were going to suck, but I was still on the couch every Saturday at 7:00. They're the team I've chosen to back, and even though I'm unhappy with the direction they've gone in I'll still stick with them.
Post-season, the landscape changes. There's only 16 teams there, so a fan's options are limited. I'm sure as hell not going to stop watching, so I choose another team instead; I'd really like to see the cup come back to Canada, hence my analysis above.
None of that diminishes the accomplishments or Montreal this season, which have been nothing short of astounding.
