Manny's news conference hit all the right notes.

There's a cool, calm field of these guys.

They articulate their thoughts well.

in a very clear way for the fans and the media.

Malhotra mentioned body language a couple times yesterday.

I even think three times.

Body language on some of the Canucks in the past two years has been horrible.

He's going to fix that.

There were players in Abbotsford that he gave tough love to.

I don't think he's going to put up with bad body language.

Someone told me that one of the coaches that Malhotra really looks up to is Rod Brindamore.

There's not a better coach to look up to for a rookie coach than the Campbell River native.

Players love Brindamore.

I got to tell you this.

Jalen Chatfield was weeks away from hitting July 1st.

He was looking at a big payday last year.

He told his agent, nope, cut the deal in Carolina.

I love playing for Rod.

That's when you know you have a good dressing room when players don't want to leave.

This new regime is going to fix that dressing room.
