Hall on sitting out tonight:
"I'm good with it. It's a good time to get some rest and recuperate a little bit. We've played a lot of hockey lately, and a lot of the stuff in the standings is out of our hands other than our game tonight. Yeah, I'm cool with it."by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/7/2018 4:55:03 PM -
Hynes: "We're not looking to get in the playoffs and just be a Cinderella story. We're looking to get in the playoffs and win, and (Hall is) a big part of that. I think this type of decision and his selflessness in that decision is a big reason why you have a strong culture."by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/7/2018 4:57:45 PM

I didn’t know Tyler, and yet I feel like I did. I’ve been in that seat on the team bus. I’ve watched a lot of the world pass outside my window from that seat. I’m sick to my stomach for his passing, and for all those lost in this awful tragedy. #prayforhumboldt twitter.com/swarnews/statu…by John Walton via twitter 4/7/2018 5:05:49 PM
