The timing is interesting because Gio had one of his best games last night, and certainly tilted the ice with his thundering hit on Brown. We don't know what is said in the room but I don't hear many complaints about Gio's leadership now that the Flames have been winning... |
Exactly.
I think of this, or similar comments, when a number of posters talk about one of the coach's main roles being motivation.
Any time you hear anyone involved in hockey at the professional level, they will always tell you motivation comes from within the room - peer to peer. That a coach prepares you, sets a system or game plan, but doesn't provide inspiration or motivation. Except maybe in movies.
It's really kind of silly to think otherwise.
