Mike Johnson

I want to be in the grind with my teammates.

And I respect that.

And I would have been like that.

I played lots of different times where maybe I should not have or could have used a break.

But you just keep playing because that's what you want to do.

But maybe this is one of those ones where if there was a...

really clear vision of what the rest of this year is supposed to be.

And I don't know if there is.

I'm not saying there isn't.

I just don't know if there is.

But if there was a really clear vision from Brad Trudeau, like, listen, we're going for the bottom five.

We're not going to dress players that aren't NHL players when we have NHL guys available.

But if we have guys that are hurt, they won't play.

If there was a clear vision and a mandate and an understanding, then maybe that word would filter down to Matthew Knight.

He's like, listen, if you're hurt, not if you are, you are.

You've been hurt all year.

We're going to shut you down.

We're talking three weeks now.

I guess three and a half weeks.

It's not like a long time.
