PM is a massive key for us. This exact same group of players could suck if the GM and Coach were LOSERS. The GM and Coach expect to win. We should be happy as fans. Murray built the Ducks when Burke won. PM was a huge part of the winning Wings. Sens are in a sweet position.
I think MacStache is the reason for the increased quality of passing and puck handling during the last few games. It's like watching a finely tuned machine, and I feel Stache doesn't get enough credit, both this season and last.
