Everyone needs some time to get used to the rule changes. We arrived late today so we didn't get briefed. The officials came in after the second period and discussed it with us; it was supposed to be before. You can't clutch and grab anymore. |
He's so calm, sometimes I wonder if he even has a pulse. |
I just reacted and unfortunately I had to leave. I didn't know if (Parker) was behind me or not. I just saw a guy coming up over the glass. You just react at that point and you don't think about it until afterward. |
I think it's a willingness to work. I think our work ethic is not very good in the third. And you can see that in the games. But it might also be a learning experience with the younger guys. As veterans, we need to pass on that knowledge. |
I think you've got to turn the cheek when you get punched in the head, and hopefully officials can control that. This is where you have to be very disciplined and swallow your pride. |
I'm all for change. It's about excitement and entertainment, right? The way to do that is with more goals and more scoring. |

It helped him to go to the minors. He went down, worked on his game and got his confidence. In his rookie year, he was a little gun-shy. It was all new for him, but now he's comfortable. . . . We have a good chemistry. |
It shocked me. I thought we had it all locked up. We dodged a bullet. |
It was an interesting debut. |
It was an interesting debut. It would have been nice to stay with the guys. |
It's going to take time and patience with this group to believe in the system. We've got to keep working at it until we perfect it. You have to know your [responsibilities]. If you make one bad read, the whole thing falls apart. |
The game was played one way for 100 years or more, and now they are changing it. |
The good thing is the group here could've given up being down 2-0, but we didn't. We just kept going and gave ourselves a chance. |
