‘It seems like Nolan has spent all season trying to get it out of him. The head coach said, “Maybe by sitting him out and maybe by getting him mad and angry, maybe that will work.” Nolan added, “This job, you can’t take it for granted, you can’t assume that you’re going to play and that’s with everybody, especially when you’re trying to turn around the cultural side of where we are right now in order to win. Winning in this league is very hard and I’m talking about winning the ultimate, not just playing well to say we played well, it takes a certain breed and it takes a certain amount of attitude and if you haven’t got it, you won’t come close to it, so by doing that hopefully it’s a statement to guys like Ristolainen and those type of kids, don’t take things for granted.”’
