wow. now im quoting my own quote on my first quote...well im going to admit that after those signings and the vancouver wins i was ready to believe that "we were going to start to tear this league a new one". i said this based on my belief of what was going to happen with the teams performance and Winters potential to get the most out of them.
but im saddened by the last two losses and think back to my original 'on the fence position' based on my apprehension about his tactics, subs and conviction in motivating the players he had to work with.
it's hard to find reason to say hes a good coach yet after following the two vancouver games with such losses.
i will say tho - that hopefully these new players make the team more coachable? and that whatever goodness winter or deklirk have to offer appears in results - again more of what "might happen".
and dangerous again i know. especially when it can hurt enough so that you simply dont feel the pain as much.
