CJ is a great coach but I can't agree he was left go for no reason. MB thinks he built a winner last summer and he did make a huge improvement so when things started to go south he had to protect his a55 by getting rid of CJ. KM is also a great hockey mind but for whatever reason he could not get the PP to go. Surely can't blame that on poor personnel with names like petry, weber, trofolli, anderson , gallagher and suzuki in the mix.
After a booming start teams quickly figured the Habs out. The habs failed to change anything and their predictability in their offensive scheme was their downfall. I would also mention that they have tried the same thing on the power play for 3 years even though it rarely works.
Secondly the centers have been mediocre as a group; while suzuki has been a bright spot he hasn't been able to win enough draws to make him a force, Evans and Danualt are also great defensively BUT the teams issue in their last several games has been scoring goals. The centers need to do more.
i don't think it's any problem to see that price just isn't who he was. I'm not saying he can't be. They certainly aren't all his fault but if you bring his save percentage up to .915 I think the habs would have had 2-3 more wins.

Did Montreal panic? 😂 Everyone questioned why he was brought back after Boston dropped him like a hot tatter. |

Hard to build a good team when you have 15M in dead money (KO and Skinner) |

To be fair to the coaches... didn't they tank for McJesus in 2014?
And that same year they had 4 teenagers on the roster.
Coaches didn't have much to work with...

Yes they wanted to lose that season. Watch the new-ish documentary about Ted Nolans time that year, not a very good loook for Buffalo.

Typical Fletcher tossing away an asset.
I would rather have an ornery reticent GM than one who has no respect for the assets in his system |

Friedman is a career tweener. At best he will be a bottom pair guy. It isnt like they lost a player with hige potential. Flyers need a #2 guy and neither Friedman nor Gustuffsson are the answers |

You don't think that the habs played their best hockey without Julian on the bench in the bubble. Had anything to do with it |

If that’s the case they had Claude when they beat Pens, it’s just not counted as a playoff series rather play in |

Julien as a coach resembles Price as a goalie. Two guys who have accomplished alot, but are way over valued today because they were once the best at their craft.
Boston improved greatly when they moved on from Julien, and since he's been in Montreal the Canadiens have been abismal on many fronts. Being solid 5 on 5 is not enough when you have terrible PP, PK, you don't win games and the team goes into questionning attitude and if theyre even having fun playing 2-3 times a year. |
