Peter DeBoer, Head Coach, Vegas Golden Knights
I told our group this morning, the silver lining of this, I'm hopeful, is that this might be the best thing to happen to us. You take out guys that we rely on for offense every night, and you've got to play with detail. You've got to play with foundation. You've got to be prepared to win 2-1, 3-2. We've got to get that back. We haven't had enough of that.
