Sure, it exists. It doesn't mean that it changes much of anything. There are countless and countless examples of these amazing leaders playing on crap teams or losing. Leadership can, one time, out of many many many many other times, make a difference.
Weber was supposed to help Patches become a better Captain and lead this team. I mean, if you believe in fairy tales, I guess you bought into that crap, but whatever, say you give them the benefit of the doubt. Fine.
Weber comes in. What happens in year 2 of Max's leadership? Well we have to fire the coach to avoid yet another collapse as it has been clear for a few years now that the bozo behind the bench can't coach.
Okay. Byebye Therrien. Team rebounds a bit, and in the POs we go...Did we even score a goal in the PO? I can't remember...Great inspiring performance by our Captain. Man Mountain's elite intangibles were clearly in full effect. Truly inspiring.
Okay...On to this year. Wow. What a season we are having.
Time for you to grow up and stop believing in Santa, the Bunny and the Fairy.
