I was very happy with the stick toss, the emotion and the results that followed. I was very, very critical prior to that. I wanted to rescind my vote to fire him. I want him to succeed and the team to succeed. But facts are facts and the results and the bizarre pattern of replication they exhibit are the most telling.

For me, the team's response was quite telling. They follow up that show of emotion from their coach with some of the best hockey they've played under his reign. Now this is a group clearly starving for some emotion, passion again and they aren't getting it from the staff or leadership group nearly enough. The "it's just another game" rhetoric is getting old. Hockey is meant to be a passionate and intense game.
