I always take those kinds of comments as generic tire-pumping by supportive bosses. "He's training real hard." Well yeah, almost all NHL pros do train real hard in the off-season. Have you ever heard a coach or GM say they expected a guy to falter in the upcoming season?

I've never seen any kind of correlation between those comments and a player's actual play once the season got underway.
