I think everybody conducted themselves quite gracefully throughout this process. Paul Maurice is a great man and great leader, but unfortunately that didn't translate to success on the ice. I do hope that he stays around TNSE in some capacity, since he genuinely believes in this team and our fanbase believes in him. The old guard slate should be cleared to move forward without Huddy or Flaherty, since the message from both of them has no doubt grown stale, and I'm cautiously optimistic about making a change to Lowry, although I do hope he isn't made permanent at this time. I hope Kompon returns soon, with good news from his family, as well. I do wonder if Pascal Vincent somehow makes his way back, or if that bridge is burned at this point. The timing of this to be quite odd, given that it's a game day, but these situations aren't always perfect.
I hope we see new energy tonight, with a fresh outlook on ways to succeed. We're still in it for this year!
