Tends to be the issue when ex-players become coaches.. they are multi millionaires 10x over.. none of them want to shake the applecart. Straight up, the coach should have an all out win strategy every game.. absent a legit game strategy, only job is to keep them accountable.
Im not too worried about Habs falling into the BUF system of failure.. why? Bc MTL fills their Arena every game.. if a player can't get pumped to play at Bell Centre then they are never going to succeed.
Imagine a rebuild in BUF or OTT? Players getting paid insanely gross amounts infront of half empty crowd.. this is what keeps these teams down in the long run..
Reality is, CH is just a very young, very inexperienced team. Once the top 6 are properly identified, we'll be swimmingly enjoyable to watch.
