More Alain Vigneault on Wikipedia.I know this group and they've got to be looking at the standings. You've got to be motivated and sharp to play these games. I think we're going to be fine.
That's bush-league. I haven't seen that in pro hockey.
There's no game tonight if Flats is not sharp. You have to be honest with the performance he put together here. Wade Flaherty was the difference. I've challenged him a little bit lately and he responded like a real pro.
We're not quite sure what they're going to do, but they're going to let us know (today). Somebody is coming back.
It's great they're getting this opportunity. A lot of times you hear guys saying 'you never gave me a chance.' Well, now they've got it. They've got the football, let's go with it.
We always got together on my mom's side and I was about six-years-old. It was the last year my grandfather on my mother's side was alive. Everybody got together and he had a heart attack a couple weeks later. That last Christmas with him just stands out in my mind.
We might be a little off as far as our timing goes. But our guys are going to be fine. This was a well-deserved break for them, they should be re-energized and happy to get back to work.
I knew this is really challenging for him not playing, but if we ever needed him there was never a doubt in my mind that he would be ready.
