We’re talking about a momentous statement uttered by Phil Watson at the hockey luncheon Feb, 21. Get this, folks, Phillipe, the fire-breathing New York coach, has given up on his quota system!

He spins this way, turns this way. shifts, slides, and leaves the forwards mumbling to themselves as he passes the puck to one of his own teammates from an apparently impossible angle. Williams, at 33,…
