Firing him brought them back to where they were before they foolishly hired him to begin with. But the core of the team was still very experienced.
This team just feels young and improving but not as ready as the 2019 squad was, IMO.
This actually feels a lot like the 2012 Blues. They were developing a new young core around an established championship caliber coach who replaced a slightly overmatched young coach early in the season. They improved as that new set of young guys got some confidence.
That team didn't feel like a Cup winner to me (they lost in the 2nd round) and I don't really think this one does either. But it felt like the start of something important.
This feels more and more like that every week.
I'm just not feelin' the 2019 comparison though.

Oh, I wasn't thinking they're the same kind of team, just that they're on a hot streak in a very similar way the 2019 was at the end of the season.
