Injuries derailed that season but Mike Keenan had that team in shambles to start the season and a mid season change in systems get us in.
We also went into the playoff with a historic low power play I think 0/40 and when asked about it he said he doesn't practice it.
Keenan was a terrible hire and there is a reason he has never seen a job again in the NHL.
Read Burkes book and he confirms that Keenan is one of the worst coaches ever who just plays mind games.
