Keefe addresses his comments on the team’s “softness” vs. NYR

In his opening remarks, Sheldon Keefe felt the need to clarify his comments about the team playing “soft” in the 6-3 loss to the New York Rangers on Wednesday night after the quote made the rounds in the media over the past few days.

I just wanted to take a second and clarify my position or remarks from the other night.
