Things are not looking up in Habs land to start the season.

Still, can't wait for puck drop. Preseason games are booooooring.

Agreed. Pre-season specially sucks when you don't win.... Feel bad for Price and his Wife.

When you bring in a new GM they usually get put into a situation where they have a coach they can fire as a card to be played. Keefe will be that guy for the next GM if Dubas gets the axe.

And no, I don't think the Leafs would piss away a brand new contract because Keefe failed to get past the first round again. They have money but surely they would recognize this isn't a coaching problem -- this is a team build problem.

Keefe gets more of a life line than Dubas at this point.

I think you're right.. If they fail to miss the playoffs or get out of the first round, it's not only on Keefe.. It's a player personnel problem.. Couldn't do it with Babcock, couldn't do it with Keefe.. Firing the coach will still produce the same result.

Dubas would either trade one of the big 4, or gets fired before Keefe does.

Good thing that they are winning the Cup this year though, that should buy Dubas at least one more year..

Did in the Amazon series focus on the dogpoop PP at all? I watched, but I don't remember them focusing or discussing the PP at all.

I really do hope he is ok... All Habs hate aside, Price is a really good dude and I do wish him all the best as he works his way back.

I would also
last season he projected 73..which they had 77

the biggest diff this time looks to be Goalies, Campbell was good last season, the rest were not... but if they get both goalies doing decent'ish, its a decent bump

If mtl doesn’t completely poop the bed the first 6 weeks and price comes back I could see them having a decent season rallying around him.

I didn't watch the series intently. I had it on in the background while I did things around the house. So I missed a lot.

Will probably rewatch at some point.

Possible.

But alot of things have to go right for them to actually hold on.

I'm positive by nature so I believe in them but, objectively, lots of unknown and plenty of question marks in that lineup.

I still have that happy place in my head I can go to where it's 3-1 Leafs and we're about to make our comeback.

I think there was about a 10 second narration from will arnett. Something along the lines of “what started out as a red hot maple leafs powerplay has completely franking sucked the last half of the season”

Or something like that I’m sure

I don't remember him talking about the powerplay troubles, but then again I may just have missed that 10 seconds.
