--- Quote from: Surreylily on Sunday January 12, 2020, 06:56:31 PM Eastern ---There have been two coaches who have challenged the "Kllub Kettler" mentality.
The first was the interim coach, Dale Hunter, who was brought in as a temp. He was asked to stay, but declined.
The second was Trotz.
Klub Kettler has been around for a while. I almost commented on exctly that last night. The "Klub Kettler" attitude. There were difinite shades of Bruce B, last night.

Bruce2 tried to break up club kettler, that’s when he lost OV, which cost him the locker room

This is turning out to be a slightly worrying trend. Not least from that recent ridiculous comeback in the last minute.
Over confidence? Arrogance? Ignorance, more like!

it goes back to when Semin was here, IMO

When I think of Semin, The first thoughts aren't of how amazing a player he was, or how fast, or how skilled. I always think of that rabbit punching he did....... Handbags at dawn Sir?

Good point, Alta. You’re probably right!
We could all probably go back to 2010, with Montreal in the first round of the playoffs, or even before.
Yes, the same phenomena, can be observed, even prior to Barry Trotz.
I chose him as a starting point, simply because the argument could be made that if anybody could’ve ended this teams culture issues, it would have been HIM!
And even HE had minimal success with it, that’s how deep and pathetic it is!

Disagree with this luv.Trotz was a fantastic coach and has always come across as a decent person. he got Mitch Korn here to school Holtby. I'm npt xure many other coaches could have done that.
Trotz was the one to eliminate Klub Kettler.
THAT is how and why we won the CUP.
HE was the one that got us to play as a TEAM.
HE was the one who taught our boys what TEAM meant.
