I’ve been here a short time, but it doesn’t take you long to figure out what kind of person he is and what kind of leader he is. Eight hundred games in this league playing the way he does says a lot about the person he is and the player he is. He deserves it.”NOTES: Calgary D Travis Hamonic (family illness) was a late scratch.
