I am truly wondering what goes through Woody’s mind now….
|
Woodcroft and Manson were the coaches needed at the time they were here and probably made the transition for the new staff much easier. The groundwork was there and now they are building on things.
Woodcroft will have success in the NHL hopefully soon.

Lessons to learn for both. Woody got the benefit of some of the best hockey McDavid and Drai may ever end up playing in their careers. However, gaping holes in our game plan gradually got more and more exposed as time went on, and, kinda like his mentor Todd, he completely failed to ever adjust. Arguably he over adjusted and turned our team into a confused mess to start this season. He also fell into the exact same comfort zone that McLellan and Tippett did, depend completely on McDrai to do everything, and all the rest of the team just becomes an afterthought, just existing to give McDrai time to catch their breath. Or hey, maybe it was all Campbell's fault :) We will never really know.
If I will ever learn a lesson about overhyping a coach, then I should withhold judgement of the Knob. Let's see if this all can keep up. Like seeing how almost every player is engaged, getting opportunity to contribute and actually contributing. I think for the first time in many years we have actually learned to collapse to our net at the right time to give our goalie proper help in scrambles. Is it a matter of effort? Woody got crazy efforts from this team after Tippett was fired. That eroded but success still came thanks to insane seasons from McDrai and a godly powerplay. Gotta see if this lasts with Knob, and see how he handles playoffs.
