Rick Ball just brought up a great example of not judging a guy based strictly on his past.
Mike Sullivan was HC in Boston...went out round 1 and then missed the playoffs in 2 seasons. He then joined Tortorella as an assistant in NY where they missed once and went out in round, round 2 and round 3 in their 4 years there. Then they went to Vancouver for that one meltdown season and missed.
Now? 2 time SC winner and looking pretty good to go deep again.
