'...sometimes I think you need that change of voice in the room and it ended up being great for us.' Shea Theodore joined Hockey Central to explain how the Golden Knights' coaching change impacted the team.
“I think that’s just something that can happen with a change,” Theodore explained. “I think guys know that we weren’t playing up to par. Having a new voice come in and implement some different systems, and I think when you get a change in the practices and what you’re doing every day you’re definitely thinking the game a little bit more.
Theodore, who overcame testicular cancer, was named a finalist for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy this week, given annually to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. The 24-year-old blueliner believes, despite the lengthy layoff, his team can build on the momentum they had generated in February and March.
“Down the stretch we were playing a lot of our own Pacific Division teams and we were having good results, so I think coming out of this break having everyone healthy it’s going to be a lot of fun and it’s going to be interesting to see where these playoffs take us.” When hockey resumes, the Golden Knights will compete in a round robin with the St. Louis Blues, Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars to determine Western Conference seeding for the first round of the playoffs.
