2 seconds into the game, "they may need to think about switching up the lines."
that was the head coach in him!

I can't decide if when Doc asks Edzo's coaching questions, or makes a reference to his coaching, if it is a subtle jab!

Doc knows the game and serves up soft balls for Edzo to hit (so does Pierre with these lead-in questions, "Eddie, fair to say that Alex Semin just needs to get that puck on net instead of making a pretty play?" [long pause] ... [dead air] "Yeah, Pierre...stick on stick, stick on puck, forwards have the D, D have the forwards"
And Edzo picks on the most ridiculous things in games...like how about last night, on the power play, Zach Parise is in the corner waiting for a 2-on-2 scrum to dissipate at the point is Peter Harrold. They have the scrum surrounded on either side, the guys on the half-boards are instructed to kick it to the corner. If it looks like they can't figure it out, then the guy from the corner jumps in and tries to get it to the point and the point then changes the angle of the play by throwing it across the ice to the weak side. Boy wonder there goes, "look at Parise, he
has to get in on that puck battle...ok roll it..." and then Parise joins the fray and Edzo just goes into dead air for a second...
With all due respect, Edzo has no business telling Zach Parise what to do out there. Zach knows better than you. He's already been more impactful in his career than you were. And he probably could have coached the Penguins better as an 18 year old than you did when you were 40 or whatever...
