SAY WHAT?

"No. 600 is great, but even bigger is it was a very important win to keep us in the hunt with Detroit. And I'm kind of sentimental and I thought it was important to win on Michael King's day." - Wave Head Coach Keith Tozer, to the Journal Sentinel after the Wave beat Detroit 8-4 last Sunday. It was Tozer's 600th regular season victory as a coach.
