“A work in progress, but so far he’s pretty impressive.”
**He wants to play center. What does that say about him?**
“I think it gets him excited. He wants to help the team win. That’s all the wants right now because I told him, ‘Listen Patty, it might affect your points at the end of the year. Maybe, maybe not, but maybe it’s possible.’ And he said, ‘At this stage of my life and my career, I don’t care about that. I just want to help the team win some games.’”
Good guy Laine 🙂

**How would you describe your coaching style?**
“I don’t think I have a coaching style. I’m myself, first of all, and the way I see it is I will adjust my coaching style depending on the performance and the way we behaved and the way we practiced. If we are working hard and we’re doing the right things — I’m not talking about wins and losses here — but if we do it right, we’re going to push them, and we have our standards. But if they don’t, then I’m going to have a different approach. The NHL has changed over the years. There’s a switch into the League. It’s younger. It’s faster. So, we need to adapt, we need to evolve. But, really, my coaching style is depending on how the team plays.”
Sometimes Pazzy says things that remind me of a more flexible, gentler spoken Quebecois version of Torts and this sure is one of those things haha. If that’s what we get then I can only see that as a good thing.
