OTTAWA - Alain Vigneault had answered on e question at his pre-game availability when he looked over at the author of Cheapseats and broke into a grin.
“You know,” said the Rangers coach, “every time I see you it reminds me how much older we’re getting eh? Jesus. Just looking at both of us, we started when we were kids, back at the (Bob) Guertin.”
A couple of minutes later, Dan Rosen from NHL.com was still chuckling.
“I didn’t see a mirror up there,” he said. “He was looking at you.”
Thanks Dan.
One of the many conversations I remember having with Vigneault when he coached the Hull Olympiques (and we were both in our 20s) was during a playoff series with the Laval Titan, a team that boasted hooligans Gino Odjick (280 PIMs) and Sandy McCarthy (269 PIMs).
