Gutsy call by Coop going with the 2nd PP unit to start... it paid off. Coop has such a good feel for his team

How do you play games 1-6 and then miss game 7?

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold: Two kids. One rich. One poor. Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids. The rich kid has two choices. Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more. Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater. The poor kid has two choices too. Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been. Or outwork everyone in the room. Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch. Same choice for all of them. Ownership or victimhood. Fuel or excuse. The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it. The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it. Greatness doesn't come from where you start. It comes from which kid you choose to feed. Credit to @coachlukefalk for continuing to share golden nuggets about Coach’s legacy

I've seen a lot of comments about NCAA D3 athletics. Unless you have watched recently, I suggest you either don't comment or go watch. D3 is much better than what people think, especially those who haven't watched

Coaches invest emotionally. 7. Development isn’t instant. 8. Hard feedback is intentional. 9. Wins don’t tell the whole story. 10. Coaches remember kids forever. Perspective matters.

Arkansas was far from elite. Arkansas is elite with John Calipari. St. John’s was far from elite. St. John’s is elite with Rick Pitino. Michigan was far from elite. Michigan is elite with Dusty May. Coaching matters.

HOCKEY NERD TALK: Every young player should spend some time studying Morgan Geekie’s career development path. A third-round pick who logged 153 AHL games, Geekie spent his first three full NHL seasons mostly on the 4th line and never scored more than 9 goals. I was healthy scratched with him plenty in Carolina, and his size, skill, and shot were as good as anyone I’d played with. But he focused on whatever it took to break into the league — being physical, winning faceoffs, defending hard. Then a top-six forward went down in the playoffs in Seattle, he stepped in, and he was fantastic as a top-6 player against the Avs. Now in Boston, given a real offensive opportunity, he’s taken off. A lot of players get stuck thinking about what their role should be instead of doing what’s needed to stick in the league. YOU EARN THE CHANCE TO EXPAND YOUR GAME LATER. First, you’ve got to make it. Biggest takeaways from Geekie’s story: 1. Be versatile — build a skill set that fits multiple roles. 2. Stay confident — sometimes it takes years of work before you get your break. 3. Excel in the role you’re given — even if it’s not the one you want. @TheHockeyNews @gmoneyslic #NHL
