Not sure... Here's the quote though:
"Kuba (Kindl) has got to decide he wants to shoot the puck, or he won't be on the power play,'' Babcock said. "Kuba, did you hear what I said there?''

Tim Cheveldae - Chevy
If you think goaltenders today have it hard, look up that dudes career
One of the Wings most famous goalies. Not....because they did good those years...either.

Was Cheveldae the guy Demers couldn't start for home games anymore because the booing was too bad? Or was he the guy who did get the home starts because they were booing the other guy?
Speaking of doghouses of yore, there's also Big Keith Primeau, always said with irony because he played like someone who was 5'6".

You should know, Cheveldae, started more games in a season, than any other wings Goaltender has ever started. He was, effectively, despite a horribly losing season, Detroits most iron goalie, in history. He sucked, sure. But he backstopped the worst team in Wings history, day in, day out.
But I notice, you don't know what you're talking about, so perhaps you should look it up?
