I think we played much better than we did in Detroit. What I'm looking at is the way we played, we didn't look as a team where you could say, 'Colorado's a lot better than the Wild. |
I thought the overtime was the best. It was exciting, great. Sometimes you don't hear the fans a lot. But there they were standing up and cheering all the chances on both sides. |
I told him to try to be stronger with the puck or I'm going to have a heart attack. |
I want to make the playoffs next year. There's no doubt. That's going to be our goal. |
I want to see Kyle better than other guys, better practices, being more aggressive. It's his game. A little more intensity will help. |
I was surprised at how well we skated. It was a long day, starting with a flight at 6 a.m., and when we landed, we came straight to the arena and skated. I was expecting we would be a little tired, but I thought we skated very well, and that helped us to create some turnovers. |
I would say every player has to be accountable. Every player has to play the best he can until the end. It's always been like that and it will stay like that. |
I'd like to go 10 minutes without a penalty, play five on five and see how it goes. We can build from that. |
I'm not the plumber. I'm not the carpenter. So I wouldn't know about that. I'm only the coach. |
If he can't learn, I'll have to do something. And I don't want to get dressed. |
If I can't say that to one of my guys and I 'restrict' him, I've got a problem. |
If I would be 20, maybe I try to put the skates on and try to get one. It's tough, especially when you see they're trying hard. We've got too many guys that don't finish. They have to find a way to get goals. |
If the goalie can't go across, that's fine. Goalie tried to go across, and he went across, and he missed the puck. There's a lot worse than this. |
If the kids were scoring their share of goals, a goal here or there, I couldn't afford to do this. See what I'm saying. I'm changing nothing. |
If we feel that Manny needs a rest, we'll play the kid. |
