LOL!! Of frickin course it’s long term. There’s something seriously rotten with this organization. I’ve never seen it like this in almost 50 years of watching the Habs.
small little smurf teams get rocked and injured , not a shock at all. Look how pathetic our blueline is after lose Webs, Chairot, Edmundson, Petry and Kulak lol. We went from one of the biggest bluelines in the NHL with minor inuries, to the most injured. Kent is as dumb as the rest of them, he thinks you can win with speed and skill, size isn't somehow an issue unless you make the playoffs, which we won't be doing for another 5-7 years.
I mean you don't even have to ice a physically dominant team, but just enough size to get out of your own zone in one piece lol. The organization mentality here has always been sus, nothing changes. Look at the size of this team when they went to the final and knocked Vegas out. We were a large team that was NEVER pushed around, then they abandoned it once again. Same in 93, we went from a large phsyical team, sprinkled with talent.. then threw it all away for a new direction which failed us for another 25 years.
The only constant here is the Molson family, they must be dictating what teams they want to see on the ice.
