So last week we got this story about the youthful and energetic coach Bylsma. Great stuff, talks about how he keeps the guys motivated and in touch. How they keep it light and fun, but also keep the focus dialed in. And there is an amusing anecdote about how he got the job and what became of his old WBS contract.
Then today we are provided with this exciting headline! This is some buzz I've been waiting to hear for a week or so now. Here we have a man who is keeping control when all the pieces are falling away. He's proving that he can coach the greatest talent in the NHL, and can still coach when that talent is missing.
All in all I'd say we are being provided with a pretty good picture of a coach who is both man and boy. Friend of the team, but a driven coach who does not waiver from the plan, and does not let his players lose heart or focus.
April 4th is Muddy Waters birthday. Here is his Mannish Boy.
