Thought for the Day
The best way to win a lot of hockey games is to get off the bus with the best players.

I guess I can't be certain, but I took it as a guy who's been coaching ~forever explaining that there's no magic formula for turning a bad team into a successful one, or an OK team into an extremely successful one, from behind the bench/whistle.
And similarly: that results will shake out roughly in line with quality. A bad team is unlikely to be a bunch of great players stuck with a lousy coach, and vice-versa.
(Nice that we have Michel Therrien to be the exception that proves the rule.)
