First Star of the Game.

 

Coach Travis Green  - for the way he managed ice time and matchups.

This has got to be the single most important change in the off season. The team is entertaining to watch again and almost every player has improved over last year. What an accomplishment by Coach Green.

I actually noticed the Twins shortened their shifts for a change and this in itself is an accomplishment. We played with toughness but did not take stupid penalties. Even Edler seems to be playing with renewed vigor.

For the first game of the season, the team seemed to have figured out the coaches new system already.

Shutting down McDavid was just icing on the cake. Great job Coach Green!! GCG!!!!

If you mean the difference was you fail to realise that it was almost a totally different team - where even the rookies were a year older and a year more experienced and Guddy was fit then yeah maybe. 

Don't tell me you have trouble with comparison and context too.

So, you are denying that the Canucks in that game played a COMPLETELY different style from the first four games of last year?  If that's really the case, you badly need to let go of Willy -- in no way is it a criticism of him, just an objective observation that everyone but you will apparently acknowledge.  Has nothing to do with "context" but reality.
