I’ll be honest, I’ve always felt like I was missing something. That I wasn’t really sitting in Jiggs/Howie’s chair. How could I be the

Barry Trotz is a great coach. A hall-of-famer. But every NHL coach has a system that works when executed. Just something to remember when you're explaining how the

Barry Trotz is a good human being.
What does he do with his break? He goes back to Manitoba to see his parents and stops by the rink to give these kids an incredible memory.
Our players did not know this was coming. It will be something they never forget. Thank you Barry.

If you think having smart and eloquent people speaking about the sport that they played at the highest level is “shoving female reporters down your throat” it says way more about you than them. Most have no problem listening to me and I only played club hockey in college. Think.
