00:00Let's get back to some of these coaching changes, Pete, and also, do you buy into coaching changes

00:08where you can change the level of the organization by making that move mid-season?

00:14We've seen it many times in the past, years ago with the LA Kings, they won the cup the

00:18year that they hired Darryl Sutter in the middle of the year, Craig Berube, who's now

00:32currently ranks third in the NHL in team save percentage, and if you've been following the
