I can see by game two or three, they're going to absolutely just hate each other.

And we're going to get plenty of good fights, too.

So I really can't wait for this series.

The previous coach, Bruce Cassidy, won a Stanley Cup.

Yeah.

But he's notorious for having a really short shelf life with his players.

His old team in Boston, who he went to a Stanley Cup final with, basically they revolted against him.

Goes to Vegas, they win a Stanley Cup a couple years later, and they sort of revolted and made it pretty clear that they weren't going to be able to

They tuned him out, and then they bring in Tortorella, who's also got a short shelf life, but it doesn't matter when you bring someone in with seven games left in a regular season.

And for all his faults, what Tortorella's really good at is just getting teams to be hard to break down, and he's done it in a pretty quick time.

And Cassidy's the same way, so it's not like he had too much heavy lifting to do.

But, yeah, he's got a lot out of a group of players that –

Now we're starting to hit their potential.

Marner, for sure, it looks like a new player under Tortorella.

Tomas Hurdle, who I like, he's 35-1 most goals in the series.

I think that's a really good bet.

He was really struggling, and Tortorella seemed to have got him on the right path.

He got William Carlson back, who Tortorella...

did not like in Columbus.

Then now he's coaching while Bill in, in Vegas and the two of them seem really chummy and he's playing great hockey and it's kind of his return has balanced that lineup really well.
