You can tell the guys who are actors versus the ones who are confident enough to say what they mean and mean what they say without hesitation.
Doesn't seem at all like a guy who's been thrust into a situation he wasn't prepared for. He's worked for it and done his homework on this specific group.
I don't know how good he will be at being the hard ass when the team needs it but as far as preparation and communication go he has my confidence.
GG was definitely a guy that looked lost by comparison and who didn't have an approach actually catered to the team and players he was coaching.
Any "success" in Edmonton is most certainly on their two players more than anything that blind squirrel has come up with.
In fact, Holland, Woody and every one else can thank the McDavid effect for every bit of success they've experienced. Connor is making and extending careers for others up there.
