Last night, on top of the past several years, shows you how from the Pens perspective focusing on stacking your offense and neglecting the defense is going to make it difficult to do much in this league. The offense can do so much but it's that pyramid/domino effect, how can they do much when they don't have a good support base behind them?
Part of that is Sheros doing from his time there.
But now that Shero had that go around, hopefully learned some things along the way and being that he has a nice base in place to build on here, you hope he will be able to see how having this solid defense in place and building from the net out is going to be beneficial in this league.
I thought Shero was always big on puck moving d-men?
But to your point, and I said this in the off season, this was a really good situation to step into for Shero. Goaltending was high level, D was high promise, and looked to be on the verge. And given how bad we were expectations would be low. Even the good start, not great, that we've had has fans super excited.
