It would seem so. When the Habs hired him to coach he was viewed as an innovator, believe it or not. Tom Watt and him, and then Keenan, were the first CIAU coaches in the NHL.
I’m referring to MSL, obviously. I think he’s safe until the new year but if there’s no improvement once Laine is back . . . might be time to get ready for Pascal Vincent, or someone else.
