I’m not saying Granato IS the right guy but I’d like to see how the rest of the season goes.  He’s better than the last 3 dopes we’ve endured albeit on a limited sample size. 

We have only won one game against a playoff team and that was back in January. I am withholding all judgement on Granato and our increased level of play until we actual beat someone.

Underlying stats say goaltending is good, everything else is the same, except team sh% has improved.

The eye test tells me they are playing a much better brand of hockey but as @#freejame said, let’s see how they do against some good teams.  Missing Jack and Jake also has to be factored into the equation.

And trading Staal & benching Hall accounts for a good chunk of that improvement.  😉

I'd agree. I think it's better.
