It's been a volatile first third of the season for several underperforming teams in the NHL. We're already up to three head coaches fired with a hew more hot seats, while a good group of those still employed haven't held back in dressing down their charges publicly. This brings us to the so-monikered, and statistically supported, "new coach bump," in which a team and/or certain individuals react positively to the harsh stimulus of their bench boss being shown the door. It's a phenomenon we might want to pay a little more attention, with the focus on individual scoring totals.
