When it was 2-2 in the third in our building, those are the types of games that we have to figure out a way to win. |
When the game's been on the line, Jose has been real solid. He's been effective and he's doing what he needs to do. As we progress, we expect him to keep getting better. |
With Brad, we feel he's going to provide a great element of energy and enthusiasm. We think he's fitting in with the guys great. He's a team guy; he's going to be well received by his teammates. He's a big member of the community in all the teams he's been at. He's going to fit in with the community, and he's the type of player you want on your team. I don't foresee a problem at all. |
With the new rules, the puck carrier is going to have more leverage to do what he wants, ... Having puck possession is obviously a great way to play the game. If you don't have the puck, you want to work hard to get it back as quick as you can, and that involves checking hard. |
With the professionalism in our room, guys are aware of these things. Everybody as a group knows we have a great challenge ahead of us. I don't think this will be a distraction. We're very comfortable with Peter and Vitaly. |
With their history and tradition, they've got a big following throughout Canada. |
You look at how he's approached it and kept everybody together. They've definitely been dealt a tough hand, but he's still trying to bring some meaning to coming to the rink every day for the guys. |
You saw a couple of chances early that didn't go in, but I don't think Joe's confidence left him over the last 10 games when he's had a lot of chances. It was just a matter of time until he found the back of the net. |
You're not trying to trip him there, you're trying to get the puck. It's all instincts; it's reactionary at that stage. |
