As someone who’s never heard him speak, what strikes me is how non-technical Quenneville speaks. Maybe tonight’s words were an anomaly, but I was expecting (hoping for) genius-level technical wisdom. It just reinforces my belief that the understanding of us fans is not required for the success of the professionals we root for.
Edit: I meant no disregard for Q’s talent – only that I thought his talent would be easy for my non-NHL-level professional understanding to identify.
