Coach Talk

Oilers
You know what, Oilers, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Mike Williams), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
waterloo vikes
Keep your head up, waterloo vikes! Listen, we've been in this business long enough to know that occasionally free points just seem to randomly show up out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Okay, okay; it probably would have taken some serious wizardry to come up with an extra 40 points for you in this matchup.
