Gillis on radio:
Not a lot said.
Butt.
Ballard for post season? "Unknown right now, is progressing."
Kassian? "Young kid, big, skilled, tremendous upside. Has come into an overwhelming situation and handled it extremely well. He is eager, wants to learn and wants to improve. Great kid, we are very happy."
Kassian late for practice whats up with that? "Not late for practice. He was at fitness testing." (Nice story Vancouver media...sheesh!!) Also said that he tested very well, stopped short of agreeing he was up to "team standards" but had nothing negative to say about his fitness level.
Resting guys? "Possible, schedule works in our favour however. Last months travel has been brutal. Play it by ear."
Team playing poorly? "Schedule, long season, looking ahead perhaps due to circumstances of the past year plus, way ahead in our divison and going to finish at the top of the conference and slumps are to be expected, look at good teams over past years, slumps and periods of poor play happen. Just takin' it game by game baby and trying to get ready for the post season as best as we can!"
A different goddamn hockey talk messageboard!
