Yes, having the last change and going with G's Top Line going head to head with Ovie's Top Line said a lot.
Bad year for Coots... much better ones ahead for sure.
Getting a better jump next Season, so as not to tax the Team so harshly down the Stretch... hopefully Special Team Coaching changes... new talented Prospects and hopefully some Free Agency Snipers and maybe Konecny to add Goals to a healhy Coots, Jake and G... greater maturity infused with some new blood... should all, if done correctly, help lead the O&B onward and upward.
Am I proud of this Team?... Damn straight I am... I stood up and cheered them for a nice Season and giving their all in the Game, Series as well as during the Season's Stretch... Not only am I and most of the Fan-Base proud, but I'd bet the farm that Mr. Snider is chirping Above about his Team... "See that? That's our boys battling the odds there, Keith, Fred, Gene, Barry, Pat... We'll get it next Year."
