A lot of it will be undoing 5 plus years of damage that Green did. Taking off some shackles and letting the boys run.

When I read this I thought "No way Green has been coach that long"

Sure enough I google it and he was hired 4 and a half years ago

No doubt. But that’s tougher to do for guys who’ve been in the league for as long as Bo has. He was coached by WD and TG and it shows.

My bad. Thought I heard someone say 5 plus on TV last night. In my defense I'm at the tail end of fighting off Pneumonia over the last couple weeks.

That's a tough one. At the time there were warning signs for sure, but it was easy to see last season as a one-off stumble given their success in the bubble
- NorthNuck

I think the bubble was the one off and it was largely driven by elite goaltending.

I think that's clear at this point. Also some of the biggest contributors from the time are no longer with the team.

Yeah but it fooled a lot of people, even people who should have known better.

No. Just cropped up. Tested negative for Covid. Yeah it's no messing around. I was really sick for a solid week. Like deathly ill. Feeling much better now. Still on antibiotics.

It was more entertaining than watching the games I honestly can’t remember the last game I bothered to watch in it’s entirety.

Actually you usually can just spot them in hockey forums because they’re the ones constantly obsessed over player heights the most.

Little people syndrome I believe is the politically correct term

Quit taking shoots at Ruby when he isn't here to defend himself.

Thanks. I'm much better now. But the first week man. My Wife poured me into the Doctor's office. Glad she did. Just thought I had a really bad flu.
