The crowd at the Delta Center played a big role in Utah’s performance, and general manager Bill Armstrong says the emotions and energy from the fans will set the tone for the upcoming season.
“It set the tone for our team and I know we're going to get some energy from playing in that building. “The energy there has been incredible since the day we arrived. They're just psyched about hockey. It's going to be a truly magical experience.
"I think we're taking a step forward. We're starting to come out of the rebuild. We had some key pieces added at the draft with Marino and Sergachev and free agency day with Cole and Stenlund,” said Armstrong. “I give a lot of credit to our scouting staff for drafting Cooley, Guenther and Moser already. And now we have Iginla and Lamoureux coming in. You truly don't want to be a GM where you get to the point where you have to sell off your players because you can't afford them. Your scouts do all that work and we got to a point, as an organization, where we couldn't afford to keep players. That would've been a terrible thing,” said Armstrong.
