Unlike Theo, Vernon doesn't throw shade when a current player reaches his milestones:

“Getting on a roll like that, that’s always a good thing,” Vernon said Monday, the day after Elliott equalled his franchise feat. “I think the thing that differentiates when I did it and when Brian Elliott has done it is I think the points are just harder to come by now, with the tight race. They’re still fighting for a playoff berth. And to put an 11-game streak together, that’s a great feat and I think it’s come at a timely fashion for the organization.
“These are big games right now. Knocking off teams like L.A. that are nipping at their heels, it gives them a bit more breathing space. I think that’s the biggest difference.”
