Coach Talk

Night Crawlers
You know what, Night Crawlers, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Noah Fant), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire.
Doomsday
You can take solace in the fact that your generosity did not go unnoticed, Doomsday. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Night Crawlers succeed this week. Who knows, maybe you'll play them again after they've clinched a playoff spot, and they bench a couple good players that week to return the favor!
