“I have major concerns about what goes on in there. Before we even step onto the ice, situations and standards and accountability in the room is forefront. You can’t get squat done on the ice until you get your room straightened out and I think we have a little bit of work to do there.”
Well shit, but he’s not wrong. There’s all sorts of craziness going on, but that’s neither here nor there. What’s important is that the coach recognizes it, speaks openly about it, and makes it a priority to straighten things out in the locker room. Get these guys to buy in, show some accountability, and be professionals. Let’s fuckin’ go. I’m all in on Torts. One million percent. He’ll have these bums skating hard and blocking shots in no time.
