It's entertaining to say the least. Soccer fans who want a similar atmosphere at hockey games must love this.

They have a vaccinated section and non vaccinated. The Vaxed are really loud apparently.

Personally I think Trotz gets a lot of credit for Mitch Korn's handiwork.

I'd rank some of the coaches who are already out - Sutter, Quennville, Laviolette, Sullivan, and some of the coaches who are still in - Brind'Amour, Cooper, Bednar ahead of Trotz but that's just me. Even when the Caps won the Cup under Trotz something always felt off about Trotz.

There’s something to this, though I suppose the fact Korn goes wherever Trotz is makes him a good coach to hire. Every team with Korn though - the goalies suddenly turn awesome.
