I'll say 5- 8. I don't think we can be as bad as we were in January, but there's nothing happening on the ice or in the trade market that's going to improve the team. I still believe Carey is a couple of months away.
What's funny is I didn't even bother to look at the schedule to see how many strong or weak teams we're playing. Against us, they're all strong.

I think they need to go at least 8-5 for anybody to take them seriously.
Put it this way, that's a pretty soft schedule so if they can't win at least 8 games then the plan is pretty simple at the trade deadline....

Yep, last year's team mindset/performance would've gone something like 9-2-2 in a slate like that. All we need is for Price to come back at 100%. The players' confidence and skill would return, and MB/MT's systems errors would have their smokescreen back…until the first or second round…or until Price gets hurt again….

13 games - 3 wins, 7 losses, 3 OT Losses
As long as MT is coaching and he does not have Price to make him look good, there is no hope.

I'm not optimistic. With consistent sub .900 goal tending and little goal support on offense things will continue as-is. I had a look through the Habs' current 24 game slide, and found that they had sub .900 goal tending from their starter in 15 of those games. They won 4 of the other 9 games, and lost the rest with only 1 goal scored in each.
The Habs will need to go 22-8-2 down the stretch to hit the 98 points required to get in last year.

MT has been right about one thing: our puck luck has been awful. And I don't expect that to continue. I think bounces will start evening out again soon, but won't make up for the team's deep-rooted issues.
The coaching staff has failed to adapt every step of the way, and I expect that to continue in February. The league has us figured out and the coaches are doing nothing to change things up (other than juggling the lines, of course).
I'll say 5-6-2.

It's actually a relatively easy schedule with most of the opponents non-playoff teams. Yet with MT at the helm I'm predicting below .500 which will have us out of the playoff picture. Too bad as with the parity in the league, I think 92 points will be sufficient to get in. MB seems paralyzed and MT is hopeless.

[Don't know] ... considering all the factors:
a. The same MT system, b. The same MT line combinations, and c. "Price will be out just a little longer" ... [/don't know]

I rubbed and I rubbed.....but those crystal balls are still foggy....
There is no way they still play .235 hockey so I'm guessing 50/50.
7-6
