from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
“We just have to survive the next two weeks physically and emotionally,” Omsk coach Wayne Fleming told ESPN.com Saturday. “And that’s a big part of paying tribute to Alexei Cherepanov and to the city of Omsk.”
Fleming reflected on the events of the last week, something he’s never been part of before in his long history in hockey.
“The biggest thing is the magnitude of this young man and how he affected so many people,” said Fleming, a longtime NHL assistant coach and former Canadian national team head coach. “He was almost like the chosen one, and certainly the favorite son of this city. It wasn’t just his talent on the ice, but also how he conducted himself as a fine young man.”
