The Flying V is a terrible offensive system, as its obvious only the player on the tp of the V can carry the puck across the blueline. But he was a terrific motivator and a good teacher. Those kids' development was staggering. Bombay was also quite adaptable, and he was a good player's coach, deferring credit to his players. He trusted them, and they rewarded him.


And the refs during their games must have forgotton the rules, since the Flying V would result in an interference penalty every time. Maybe Bombay worked his magic there, though.

It's only illegal if it gets called. The flying V and the Statue of Liberty play may be hokie and flawed in design, but you can't argue with results.

Anybody who can win an ice hockey championship with two black kids on the team is automatically the goat.
