‘”I think with anything it’s only going to work if the players buy in or believe that you know what you’re doing,” Shero said. “That was a concern … but I think it was after a week, I still remember as clear as day, I was walking out to watch practice one day and [Crosby] was trying to come back into the locker room and I was just walking through and I said, ‘Hey, how are you doing.’ And he says, ‘Fine.’ And I ask, ‘Is everything OK?’ And he says, ‘I’m just getting gloves.’ And walking out, he goes, ‘Hey Ray, by the way, Dan; he’s really good.’ And I say, ‘Oh, that’s good to hear.’ So I walk out of the room and say to myself, ‘Thank God!’… If he right away just saw Dan and didn’t believe or didn’t buy what he was selling or didn’t think he had an idea what he was talking about, that would’ve been a very difficult process.”‘
