Yup, time will tell.
The shitty thing is that so much of what you read and hear on the subject is all rumor but it really starts to add up. The thought that the contract fuckups weren't his exact doing or that the whole atmosphere of the organization changed when he left (something Brian Campbell brought up earlier this year and the talk of a sour locker room that comes up whenever the team is on a losing streak). None of it has been proven either way but it's hard not to think about it when you have a team drop off as steep as this one has- salary cap issues be damned.
This year definitely isn't over but as it stands right now- Dale's team is trending up beyond anyone's expectations and Stan's team is trending downwards or at best, sitting idle... definitely below the expectations of fans and the hockey press at large.
Oh well. I suppose we should keep the "I'm not so sure about Bowman" talk in a thread that isn't about Crosby and the Penguins :lol:
