Pomp

But how bad, when he does something, he's going to do something really stupid.

at some point control it too he's missed right i mean too many of those guys the situation knights knights teams they loved him i mean huggins would get out of control but his players loved him i don't think that's a question and you know what you're getting when you're going it's not like exactly you're promised one thing to get another he's just um man he's on that edge

I mean, you can't sleep on them, but I think it makes them less.

Even though you could say they're playing loose and carefree, I get that, but they're not as talented.

I think right now it's just on the Penguins.

If they play their focused, responsible, straight-line hockey, they're in the postseason without a question.

Because while their head coach has seen everything in the NHL, they've got some guys that haven't been through this before.

How are they going to handle the playoff pressure?

And he's done a great job.

Lindy Ruff to have Buffalo and 100 points, I mean, that's impressive given where that franchise has been.

But maybe it's, you know, Regency bias there.

here instead of recency what he's done with this team incredible and muse he's my choice regardless look at Carlson he's gotten Malkin to play wing he's gotten a team that at times can be very careless with the puck to play a responsible system and I think of the three teams that
