Pre-game Notes and Quotes
Andrew Shaw had a conversation with Stephane Quintal, the league’s disciplinarian, on Tuesday morning. The details were not revealed but one might expect that Shaw was given a warning after crossing the line twice already this year. Michel Therrien on Mikhail Sergachev: “This is a great story. The kid is 18 and he’s going to play his first game at the Bell Centre on opening night. I’m glad his parents are able to come and see him play. It’s going to be a special night for him.” Michel Therrien: “[Carey Price] is going to play when he’s going to be 100 percent – his energy level, his weight, everything. You’re playing in the NHL, you’re facing great hockey players and you need to be on top of your game, otherwise you can’t play. We hope that he’s going to get better every day and we’ll go from there.”
