'No,  you're absolutely incorrect. I'm the goalkeeper. I know what I'm doing.'" Crisp laughed." Every single time I see Mike currently,  I claim,  'Well,  you going to shout at me once more?'" he said.The Red Wings needed that moxie when they obtained Vernon on June 29,  1994. They had a good young goalkeeper in Chris Osgood yet had been distressed in 7 games in the opening round of the playoffs for the second straight period,  this moment by the eighth-seeded San Jose Sharks."
