I guess Habs fans wanted to skip the growing pains part of the rebuild.
Nine of ten times, it doesn’t work that way, and it’s unrealistic to expect it to work that way. It’s not just - fill roster with young, high end draft picks/prospects. After that, there’s the development period. And it’s usually a painful few years before the names actually have the sort of impact fans assign to them on draft day.
I like the look of their youth, and feel they have a bright future. I’m just shocked there’s people who thought it would come as early as this year.
Putting the teams inconsistencies on the coach in this situation is ridiculously deluded thinking.
