ALl Norv really did was go a game further than Marty with a very talented albeit banged up- Marty had this team with a bye so you can't count the wildcard win. I still think Norv is a much better asst. than HC. If he plays to his competency, he could be the best OC in the league. Instead, he's a fair to middlin HC.
I agree about Rivers though, he showed lots of grit. I heard he got surgery early in the week so he could play- that's chutzpah.
