Joffrey Lupul knows a thing or two about season-derailing slumps.
The Toronto Maple Leafs winger - who's mired in a personally horrific season by any measure, having amassed just 10 goals and three assists in 40 games - was asked about the Montreal Canadiens' struggles ahead of Saturday's matchup between the historic rivals, and he pulled no punches.
Joffrey Lupul says a slump can snowball quickly in a town like MTL. Then added: "I’d like to say I feel bad, but it’s the Habs. So I don’t.”

Toronto went 1-11-13 in January 2015, averaging only 1.23 goals per game, so Lupul knows a lot about that snowball he's referring to.
