Hey, how about that? That's funny how those things work out. |

I think everybody probably can read between the lines and figure it out ... names are popping up everywhere. For a team that's in a race to make the playoffs, I wouldn't even worry about it. Since we're not, people started talking about it a while ago. |
I'll give them some playoff experience and take some pressure off the guys who are trying to come back. I'm definitely a depth guy. |
It's definitely mixed feelings. I've been saying all year, 'If this is my last shot, then I'm happy that I'm going to get a chance to play in the playoffs.' But it's always tough to leave a team, especially a group of guys like this. |
It's not the storybook start but we're right in it still and this is where we wanted to be, to make a run at the playoffs. |
Personally, it's frustrating ... not to be winning games. But all you can do is come to rink, do your job the best you can and help turn it around as a team. |
That team from Finland, I would guess a lot of those guys grew up playing together and they've been in a lot of international tournaments together. |
The puck is in front of the net and we're both trying to fight for it. It just kills what hockey's all about. I know they're trying to promote skill, but part of skill is fending off guys. |
