MARK LAZERUS: Joel Quenneville refuted multiple reports Wednesday that Viktor Stalberg was benched for Game 1 against the Detroit Red Wings because he complained about his lack of a role on the power play during the first-round series against the Minnesota Wild.
joel quenneville "That story’s 100 percent inaccurate, Viktor didn’t play, he knows the reasons why. It has nothing to do with anything about our conversation. It was strictly nothing to do with that. At all. That situation wasn’t even addressed."
joel quenneville "This year we had some tough decisions as far as who plays and doesn’t play, We had the rotation on our back end with Brooksie and Rozy ... every game one of them had to sit out. It was definitely unfair for those guys, but that’s the situation we’re in, where we have to make some tough decisions."

The lawsuit doesn't read nearly as well as the story, which laid bare the life of an NHL enforcer for all to see. The way John Branch wrote about Derek Boogaard in the New York Times should have been enough to cause even the most hardcore hockey fan to reconsider the peculiar role that goons play in the sport.

Wild GM Fletcher says Yeo will return as coach
chuck fletcher "I look where we were a year ago today to where we are now, there's just been a dramatic improvement, a dramatic difference, Clearly we're on the right path. But you play a team like Chicago, you see where you have to get better. Their talent level, their depth is pretty impressive. You see where you need to get to, but by the same token, last year we were Mikko Koivu and a bunch of prospects."

Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher saw first-hand how hard it can be to score even-strength goals in the postseason.
chuck fletcher "I think a lot of what happened to our club was the inability to score on the power play, and I think when you don't score on the power play, it does impact you, It frustrates you; you maybe lose your confidence a little bit. The players that aren't on the power play are sitting around watching that, and it affects the whole feeling around the team. And I think a lot of the struggles that our guys had scoring goals relate directly back to that."
chuck fletcher "He's maybe the only young defenseman that I've ever seen that comes in being defensively really good, Normally, young defensemen come in and they're good offensively, and you need to teach them how to play defense over a couple years and you live with their mistakes. Brodin is the opposite. But Dumba is a typical defenseman. His challenge will be playing defense in the NHL. It's a good league. Like a lot of young defensemen, that's the area he'll have to work on."
