QUOTE OF THE DAY
Jake Evans on newcomers pushing for spots:
Every camp, usually when you’re the bottom six-ers, there are guys trying to take your job. For me, it’s proving myself again – and not just trying to save my job, but to take others’ too. I know I can help out this team a lot and prove [my] value to it. I just keep building my game and not worrying too much about the rest.
