Man, I absolutely love Conroy but my memories clash with yours so much. It's been over 20 years so the details are off but more than once I remember being frustrated with post game interviews with him where he just seemed to not care. Early in Sutter's tenure, six or seven game losing streak, middle of the season. Maybe 2003? They kept losing and it was a shrugging of the shoulders.
Full season under Sutter, the addition of a guy like Gelinas probably turned around that country club more than anything.
