Sports Illustrated published a feature on Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson Monday, but a quote that wasn’t included in the story seems to be catching more attention.
In a tweet posted by the story’s author, Alex Prewitt, Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney responded to a question about Ekman-Larsson finishing 17th in voting for the Norris Trophy by saying:
“It’s really reflective of our team. Last year, we plunged. I did not do much to help our team the last two months. If we were going to be bad, my attitude was, let’s be real bad.
