After being a first-round draft pick, you'd expect him to have been here by now, but that's fine. Not everyone is going to be Sid [Crosby], who breaks into the league at 18. There's nothing wrong with progressing at your own pace. |

It's a lot like last year, where everyone got along and we had good camaraderie and I think that's what's developing here. It may be a little late, but it's starting to feel like a real family now. |
My experience, so far, since I've been here, is that it's tough to know which team will show up. In the third period, we proved that we're not a bad hockey team. We're a great team, when we come to play. |
My first three camps I never had a goal. Sometimes, you get nights where pucks sort of follow you around and everything you shoot goes in the net. I am not complaining. I am proud I had a decent start to the camp and hopefully I am making an impression. |
The goal will be to play as hard as I can whenever I get out there. Playing well these two games will be beneficial. |
They don't know how long I'll be here, and I don't either. They're real busy. They didn't see me play at all last year. They just watch on the Internet [where all American Hockey League games are available]. That's about as close as they'll get to me. |
We battled. We played better (Sunday) than we had in previous games in this building. They're playing the spoilers, and that's their motivation to beat any team trying to get in the playoffs. |
We have to find a way to turn that around. We keep saying it's early in the season. It's going to be too late. We have to turn it around. |
We worked all year to get home-ice advantage and now that's not the case. We've lost it now. I've always thought Game 1 is one of the most important games of a series. It determines who takes control, who's in the driver's seat. |
You feel good at the start of practice, but after those second- and third-line rushes down and back, you start to really feel it. |
