Forgive me if it’s not exact.

Yeah that was pretty much it.
I think this was on Treliving and Peters, and even the fans in some way.. Last years playoff failure was leaving a dark cloud over this team and the coach and GM were really grinding on the guys. Plus even as fans you could feel the negative energy in the dome as we were waiting for something to go wrong.
Then once the Peters issue broke it kind of took the pressure off the guys and gave them a fresh start. The focus wasn’t on the on ice struggles or the playoff failure anymore.
Ward leaned into the fresh start with stuff like music in practice and with his new lines, and now we are seeing the results on the ice.
