It's a flash of some really good stuff. He's going to be a dominant player. |
It's a new day. It's pretty exciting. |
It's a track meet - and I'm too fat to run, ... But you just have to keep going. |
It's always tough to lose 7-1. Losing like that at home is just very tough on all of us. |
It's been our year (for injuries). We've had to manufacture and monitor guys all year. |
It's embarrassing when those two guys fall down (and a penalty is called). That's embarrassing. But that's the way it is. |
It's huge. He's a point-a-game guy, a big-time plus player. |
It's just bad luck. We feel like we might as well get it done now. If we wait 25 games and he's sore, he won't get a chance to play (healthy) down the line. |
It's not just chasing the New York Rangers, it's also chasing Buffalo. The third or fourth seed is home ice (advantage) and we want home ice because it's going to be that close. |
It's not serious, but we're not taking any chances. |
It's quality of life. The players already know the building is full, the building is loud, the fans are knowledgeable, the organization is committed to winning and the practice facility is second to none. Players talk about that stuff all the time. |
It's really up to the players whether this is a bump (in the road) or a (big) hit (to the team). This is a good wake up call... I am hoping that the players realize what we have done and that we continue to move forward and (the loss) was just a bump. |
It's something we'll have to deal with. Yeah, we wanted (home ice). Hopefully, it won't become a factor. We know we have to win at least one game in Buffalo and probably more. |
It's still not good enough. We know the rules and we took two penalties in the third period that we can't take, not when the game is on the line. You're just dealing with an unbelievable level of fire when you're giving a team like that six, seven or eight penalties. |
It's the nature of our season. We're in first place in one category. We lead the league in the unfortunate category of injuries. |
