If he is holding people accountable, which I am a huge fan of, then JVR may never play. One demensionable player is one dementionable.Withholding judgement until we get to the 10 game mark.
I seriously think solidifying the goal tending is the absolute #1 difference. Seemed like every single mishandled puck (JVR) ended up as a goal against last year. For our defense and just about everyone on the ice, they were playing nervous (I'm being kind to JVR) . Just like telling a 4 year old to be careful and not spill your drink.
With the confidence you have a goal tender behind you that will make good saves, comes more confidence with the puck handling.
Also just from the first game, and what we read, looks like AV will not reward bad / lazy play with promotion to the top line (JVR). I don't think AV will create lines based on salary (JVR) . ( ...Funny we have a winger on our 3rd line who makes as much as our 1st line center.......) He apparently is making people accountable (JVR)
