Great column by Joe Starkey:
From coaching staff and special teams to player connection, he has pushed all the right buttons
Penguins coach Dan Muse might be a playoff newbie — this will be his first series as a head coach — but based on his inaugural regular season, I don’t think coaching will be what derails the Penguins.
They are in excellent hands, just as president of hockey operations Kyle Dubas promised in his first public words about Muse.
Normally, when a team releases a statement on a new coach — kind of like with a draft pick — it’s filled with platitudes and promises, and nobody takes it too seriously. It’s merely the precursor to the introductory news conference.
But when I went back and read the Dubas statement, I marvelled at its detail and prophetic quality.
