I remember riding high on the hot start but don't recall what was behind it. Would be interesting to revisit some post-mortems on that season.

I'm sure the Marc Savard/Greg Gilbert feud was just a symptom of something bigger wrong in the locker room which must have been a cause in the wheels coming off so catastrophically.
He had been a last minute invite to the team Canada training camp prior to the regular season starting, which seemed to be the catalyst for reaching a new level of play that year leading into the 02 olympics.

And Turek was really good for 15 games or so.
