commentary...

if there is one coach that i admire,without the coach not being a Red Wings' coach,it would honestly be Barry Trotz,of the Nashville Predators,because it is the coach's system,not particularly the players in Nashville,that puts the Predators into playoff contention,every year(six of the last seven years),because Nashville has always been a team that plays you tough,chirp at you,and still have a goaltender(Tomas Vokoun,then Pekka Rinne)who has been the foundation of the team,and the team has had a defense-first philosophy,and over the years,they have gotten better with their offense,but it always goes back to the coach,in Nashville... congrats on your 1,000th game,Coach Trotz!!!!!!!!
