You know... the HOF defenseman who literally played 30 min a night? So literally half the game was all star level defending?
And the moment Lisdstrom retired, that franchise went into the toilet. They have had a single 100 point season, and one playoff round win since his time.
Despite this - Ken Holland is not considered a braindead moron.
I mean, he is NOW.... but damn, way to kill your unearned legacy.
So I'm thrilled to see him both be a self professed lame duck and the guy responsible for the next 2 (and final) years of Conner McDavid as an Oiler.
It's gonna go SO GREAT!
