Listened to that Conroy interview. What stuck out to me:
he just touched on the "Darryl stuff". I get the impression some older coaches have checked out whereas Darryl sounded as engaged and stubborn as ever. Too bad he ended his coaching career this way.
Conroy sure speaks fondly of Bob Hartley. Brought him up a number of times.
His take on Sharangovich is quite different that what i had heard from others. Talks about how strong he is defensively and how is great on the PK. So it just seems inexplicable that NJD healthy scratched him during the playoffs, as he sounds perfect for a third line. Hopefully Flames have something here that the Devils missed.
Warrener totally checked out the entire time. I don't really get his appeal TBH as I don't think he pays enough attention to really have meaningful insights.
