I think the Jones’ took us to the next level and the level has been sustained and inched up since then. They worked their tails off day in and day out and showed everyone else the way. It was good to see they were in Tampa. Reid certainly was a trailblazer for the program, no doubt and has had a lasting impact as both a player and assistant so we are probably splitting hairs.
Toews impact is probably felt more since he left then when he was there, which speaks to how good he’s been in the NHL cause he was fantastic for us. Of course plenty of others along the way, Peca stands out to me cause he was just different on the ice, everyone could see the skill, and he also willed us to the first Frozen Four with his performance in Providence, still stunning what he did with that goal against Canisius and then the natural hat trick slammed the door on the future national champions.
