which is correct, but the thing bothered me most is that when I first saw the movie I even thought the same. I felt what people thought Grace’s sin was, was actually more sinful than wicks, Martha’s and even her father’s wrongdoing. I subconsciously felt that because they are religious people all their selfishness, hate and wrongdoings and hypocrites can be looked past.

Religion has indoctrinated me so much and I am yet to break out from it completely. Even though I have left its hateful teachings a long ago. I guess that’s how all the church people gave so much grace to wick and his grandfather but none to grace. And juds empathy towards grace felt so foreign for Martha.

Major aspect of taking the job was how aligned he, RJ, and the Sedins were

Was asked basically about why we lost so much in recent years, said he hasn't been in Vancouver in 6 years, talked about culture and showing up with the right mindset and body language

Is aware that all teams use words like accountability and culture and compete, is going to be very clear on what the team's standards are and what their definition of those terms are

Called last season (in Abby) humbling, is difficult to win consistently

Easy to have good vibes when you're winning, important to keep that same focus and energy up in tough stretches

Important to acknowledge that there will be tough times - that's when the character of your team will really show

Expectations will be the same for everyone - older guys can't expect to get away with slacking because they're established

Want players who want to be in Vancouver, are comfortable with being uncomfortable and are willing to change their habits

Looking for coaching staff to embody the same values - motivated to come in and get better, want to teach young players and have the ability to communicate

Captain will emerge from the group based on what they do everyday - attitude, body language, respect, etc., doing that consistently instead of just paying lip service

On ice stuff - the NHL is a fast league, his systems are fast, intense, high energy, premium on execution

NHL is a hard league to grow in, important to give players coming up a structure and constant feedback, need to ride the wave and coaches' job is to help them find their game in the NHL and become consistent

Caleb - Fool's errand to plan for something that hasn't happened yet, they'll cross that bridge if they get to it, but it was part of the hiring process. There's an understanding in their household that first and foremost, he's dad, but if they want hockey-talk, kids decide if they want to talk to coach or dad, Caleb always wants to talk to coach.

Would treat Caleb like any other player, understands the challenges, brings up the rule again, Caleb has the wherewithal to separate the two

From RJ (this is the only question he was asked lmao) - In terms of him, the Sedins, Manny all being former Canucks, respect for the players is more important than that, thinks that as soon as you go "when i was there we did this" walls go up

Manny again - aware of the implications of being the first HC of South Asian descent, but focuses on being the best coach he can be. Understands the importance in the wider context and the support he gets, but doesn't put a great deal of emphasis on it

On Raty being viewed as potential upside - bad at predicting the future, but there's potential there to be a quality everyday NHLer. Coaches' job to help players find their niche and find what their game is at the NHL level. He's good in the dot, and buying into and accepting certain roles is part of becoming an NHLer

On Petey and his fall - hasn't spoken to him yet, part of coaching is finding what makes players tick and drawing out the best in them
