Did anyone listen to this? Any summaries?
Last season he was involved with the team, contrary to what John Scott experienced throughout his NHL career (injured players were kept away). Kirby was at every home practice, he was at every coach meeting and pro scouting session going over video of upcoming opponents etc.. All the injured players were treated the same, they were involved with the regular players.
He particular worked a lot with Slafkovsky, mainly on getting him confident to use his body more etc..
He spoke about Hutson, in the same manner we all speak about Hutson but he said the habs young defenseman are all ready or about to be and its good for the team.
He has practiced with Laine and his skill level is off the charts.
Kirby said the support he received from the fans and the love he received while for example going grocery shopping meant a lot to him and helped him in his recovery.
