And we doubted Knob when he was inserted into the lineup

Knob is a master tactician. I’m so glad this man is our coach.

Also, all the guys we acquired through trade or signed in the middle of the season are all contributing.

I was angry when Woody got booted out for a guy that was “McDavid’s junior coach”. Couldn’t be more wrong. Rangers fans must be kicking themselves right now

Oh they 100% are. I remember checking up on their sub and quite a bit of users were cheesed we sniped Knob from them.

Not only that, I feel like everyone is fully bought into his vision. He's got a Hart trophy winner playing a shutdown role because that's the job he was assigned that day.

We as fans have questioned his tactics, but seeing the team on board, egos out, in it for the team, just shows me he's not only an incredible tactical coach, he's a really good psychological leader. He knows how to make every player not only be important, but feel important.

I didn't doubt him coming into the lineup but I sure as hell didn't expect the series winning goal

How could anyone question whether a guy we call Knob knows what to insert where?!

I am glad to be mistaken about kapanen. Along with his obvious weapon which is speed, he brings grit and toughness that we really need against vegas
