Magical was a silly way to describe team chemistry factor in a player. It isn't magical it's just undefinable from outside the locker room.
Undefinable is okay and allows the debate to move on, while magical is a purposely snippy word that attempts to belittle the opposition in this argument.
He doesn't know and you don't know. Maybe Engelland is regarded as a really strong leader and a guy who pushes for success in the locker room and pushes the pace at practices because he really cares and came from a winning hockey team, so therefore knows where the pace/push level needs to be at.
....Or maybe he doesn't. But don't call it magical, because you don't know. It's undefinable to outsiders.
