I like that.

First-year head coach, I think he's shown a lot.

I think there's a lot to like about this team.

You said failure.

That's a hard word for me after everything I've seen.

Would I be disappointed?

Yes.

Failure means everything is just terrible.

You've just regressed into what you were last year, which technically they are.

But I see things beyond what happens here in this season.

And that's what I'm kind of looking forward to, how they transition and move forward after this.

And I think they have a lot of reason to believe that there are a lot of guys in the system who could come up and make a big

I understand, but they also have coming guys who could represent a new core.

No, I'm not saying that.

It's not Sid, Gino, Fleury, Stahl.

Every team has a core of players.

They're not all the same Hall of Famers.

I'm not suggesting that.

What I am suggesting is there's some guys on this –

from last year's first round to other guys who've moved up in the system, I think there are plenty of guys who are going to come up and push some of these guys out.
