Donny Football

That's what I was preparing for mentally, and they have come out and through 50 games, they...

are second in the Metro.

They have the third best goal differential in the Eastern Conference, only behind the Lightning and the Hurricanes.

They will stumble a couple of times.

They still struggle in shootouts for whatever reason, but then they get back on the horse and then they rattle off three wins in a row, four wins in a row, five wins in a row.

And like you said, Joe, they have been able to pinpoint guys that can fit into what Dan Muse wanted to do.

And again, and I know that people probably get tired of us bringing it up, but they moved on from a coach that won multiple Stanley Cups, got to the playoffs a good bit,

Went through a little bit of a drought.

Got rid of said coach.

They bring in a guy who's a relative no-name.

We're all asking ourselves, who is Dan Muse?

He's never been the head coach of a National Hockey League team.

And it has paid big-time dividends for them.

Because we're starting to get to a point where...

You know, the bottom could still fall out.

They could still collapse and miss the postseason.

There are only four points clear of the Maple Leafs who are on the outside looking in.

But at the same time, I think it's proven this point.

We are over halfway through this thing.

This is no fluke.
