Sometimes in life, when you feel lost for words, there can be no better medium through which to express one’s emotions than through music. Today, Ron Hextall’s appointment as General Manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins reminded me of the following lyric in Passenger’s Let Her Go:
Dreams come slow, and they go so fast
Hextall build a dream for this Flyers franchise, and meticulously crafted a vision built in said image. In the end, however, such a relatively short period of time of only four years flew by under the imprudent leadership of Dave Hakstol, yet droned on due to Hextall’s unwillingness to deviate to a sprint from his marathon approach.
