I like the mojo the team is playing with, it’s a more relaxed confidence and I really like when Knob starts guys he thinks deserve it. Like starting the McLeod line last game? Amazing, and they rewarded him for that.
You keep hearing players and media say he gives players a role. They are clearly responding and doing what is asked of them. Not to mention Knob hasn’t been blending the lines a bunch and has found an amazing line with McD, Hyman, and Nuge. Just need to find what player makes Drai and Kane click and we could be off to the races.
Knob not feeling or looking pressured to play McDavid with Draisaitl is huge for sustained success in my opinion. Keep lines together that work well and only make small tweaks where necessary.
