Quote from: kartanoman on May 10, 2024, 03:43:31 PMBelief from Lavs was a catalyst, no question about it. But also challenging him to play right wing, from time to time, unleashed additional potential and, with that, grew self-confidence that was supported by a strong work ethic which he always had, but we didn't always see.
Things came together for Laffy, as well as a few Ranger players, but the commitment of each individual to sacrifice their "me" for the team's "we" may have been the biggest leap forward yet for these guys. That's what a winner in a head coach, along with his assistants, can do when a team has the talent but now needs to give of themselves to each other for the bigger picture.
I believe that's the difference this year.
Peace!

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on May 10, 2024, 01:02:41 PMMy first thought (before thinking "good"), was now it's even going to harder to tell him apart from Bricillo. My second thought: "did he make the decision or did his wife nag him into it?" , and my third thought, "I wonder if he's on Ozempic"
Regardless, he looks much better and healthier
