Whalers Win Huge

Well this is Popar Azzi, of the Connecticut Post. Just thought I would give a little review of last nights win over the Bruins.
It was nice to see Stanislov Chistov pot two goals this game but the big story I think is that Miller had to face 34 shots and only allowed 1 past him and into the mesh. The shots were plentiful but the Bruins really only had about a dozen half real decent chances.
In the bowls of the Hartford Civic Centre after the tremendous win of the Hartford Whalers over the abismal Bruins, I was able to corner coach Pat Quinn for a quick Q&A.
Good evening coach, what a great win you had there.
"Thanks Popar. Yeah the boys got it done"
Well coach you seem rather matter of fact about this huge divisional win
"I don't believe it to be as huge as you say. We knew we could win, it was just a matter of excecution."
The boys definately looked pumped up and ready to go. What do you think of the wager between your GM, Paul Gagne, and the Gm of the Bruins?
"Well to tell you the truth, I think it was idiotic. The boys and I are just starting to get to know each other right now and that guy in the ivory tower seems to want to put more pressure on us. He also has a tendency to get involved in changing lines, which I always thought was my job!"
I did notice that you seemed a bit tougher for this game. So you are saying that this was your GM'S plan and not yours?
"Yes."
Well that is a short response. Care to expand?
"No not really. Except to say that we will have different lines for the next couple of games."
Why would you mess with what seems to be working?
"We got lucky with those lines. As far as toughness goes, we are a bunch of wimps and Mr. Gagne should look to change that. Instead of wasting funds on bets, maybe we should bring in some players. For now we should be concentrating on goal scoring and stopping shots against, not trying to pump out our chests. That is what the Bruins do."
So you are saying that the Whalers are more talented than the Bruins but not as tough?
"Yes."
Well I wish you well, Mr. Quinn and I hope you know what's best.
"As long as I am left alone to do my job, I believe it will be a great year. The more I am interferred with the less I can take the blame when things don't work out."
Thanks for your time Mr. Quinn. Till next next time this is Popar Razzi with the Post and remember, "keep your stick on the ice"
