Context and tone of voice mean everything when Quenneville describes someone or something as “OK.” There are degrees. You have to read it. If he elaborates on a player after saying he was OK and has a bright tone of voice, that’s typically an average evaluation. Quenneville said this about Tanner Kero early in the season: “I thought he was OK in Toronto, and in Montreal he was much better. I thought he showed a little more offense to his game that we want to see him do.” If you ask Quenneville after a game to evaluate a player and he offers only, “He was OK,” in a hushed tone without elaborating, that means he only narrowly avoided being ordinary.
