Joseph Woll will make his season debut Thursday night as the Maple Leafs host the Blues.
"At home somewhere," the new Maple Leafs coach said. "It's not on display. My wife probably has it. Maybe she sold it. I don't know. I haven't seen it in a long time, so I am not sure exactly where it is at."
"Good for him to come over and show respect to the players," said Blues captain Brayden Schenn."It's always good to see him. It wasn't just players. Training staff and everyone was making sure they were going over to say hello."Berube doesn't give away much, but players on both sides sense this one means a bit more than just the two points at stake.
Berube's response on Tuesday night was measured. The players enjoyed a day off on Wednesday and the group didn't spend much time rehashing the Blue Jacket beat down on Thursday morning. "He has been progressing in the right direction for some time now," said Berube. "We had this date picked out for when he would get the start. It is just about making sure he is ready and comfortable. Everyone is on board with him being ready to go. This is what we picked."
"When you're looking at the Canadian squad, like, his name's gotta be at the top of the list," said Blues coach Drew Bannister."High hockey IQ, very efficient getting out to pucks and moving pucks. Binner's going to be there at the end. He's going to be a guy who pushes. He wants that. He's a competitive guy. Like, he's not going to give up that spot.
