‘The natural question is how is O’Reilly going to change it. He talked about it a lot during the season and was never consistent. O’Reilly said, “I find that during the course of the year and just being OK with losing, I’m expected to be a leader and I’m expected to be more vocal (said that after last season too and it didn’t happen), but I have to be the most competitive guy and that will trickle down through the lineup and that’s practice, that’s training camp, that’s every time I touch the ice, I’ve gotta be more strict and not so much care what people think, I’ve got to be more honest with myself and the guys and create an environment that’s winning.”’
