‘“He really is a big part of this team,” coach Lindy Ruff said Saturday. “His attitude is a big part of this team. He’s a workaholic. He has an upbeat, positive attitude to always be around. He tries his best to be ready when we play him, and he’s been real great in support when he hasn’t played.”’

‘“The odds are that it probably will happen someday, somewhere along the line, to some sports team again,” Ruff said. “It’s something you don’t want to think about, but have I? Yeah. I have thought about it. When your kids look at you when you come home after flying all the time, it makes it tough. You try to separate now. It’s going to be a while before you can push that out of your mind.”’
