I hope people aren’t expecting too much, though in here there still seems to be many who rate this talent high based on a few names with past successes.
I have very very modest expectations when it comes to wins, and its not fair to the new coach if you do expect some magical turnaround. Q was definitely way past his expiration date and the dissmisal of him and his minions was needed. However this is still the same roster of an aging and diminished core, young players who may of may not develop, and a bunch of guys who many not even deserve to be on an NHL roster. The greatest coach cannot turn dung into diamonds. A noticeable change in philosophy, systems, and speed of play more in line with today’s successful teams is what I am hoping for, even if it doesn’t result in a big change in wins.
