"I think there was somebody that told me that [the] St. Louis [Blues], after they fired their coach [Mike Yeo, Nov. 19, 2018], went like [3-5-1] or something in their first [nine] games with the new coach," Forsberg said. "And then obviously they took off and we all know what happened to them. … A new change right away sparks a fire under everybody to prove themselves with a new coach, but once that excitement kind of expires, then the system kicks in and that's what we worked on. With a move like that, and the remaining month of the season, I was really excited to see where we would've ended up in pushing to the playoffs."
