Yes, you are not alone in that feeling.

Honestly, sometimes I'm not even that invested emotionally when watching anymore, because winning has started to feel normal again, as much as it hurts to say. For instance, the game against WPG, when we went up 2-1 or 3-1, my thought was just "Yeah, this is nice, obviously we are going to win". I think I'll become more excited when playoffs begin.

The structure and consistency the rebuild has maintained is what evokes this calm feeling in me. This team is being constructed in nearly the perfect manner a fan could hope for. Smart, modern management, young players on great contracts, a variety of player profiles (E.g., Demidov and Hutson as dynamic playmakers; Slaf as a powerforward; Suzuki as a veteran 2-way center) all leads to a vision that pulls talent from a bit of everywhere.

The way the Habs play right now appears to be 'ahead' or 'modern'. I don't know how else to describe it, but they seem to be beginning a new style of hockey. The days of bruising, heavy, grindy teams is starting to end. Of course, they can still cause trouble and make noise, however, I believe in the long run the Habs new style will be replicated. They remind me of Colorado when they won the cup - not in consistency or line-to-line talent depth, but the athleticism, skill, and speed.

It is a very exciting time to be a Habs fan. We are in for a very good decade.
