From a confidence standpoint, this helps us. We know we can come in and play well in this building. |
Get used to it, he's staying there. |
Goats is a very emotional player and he plays on that edge. Sometimes the edge tilts. But when you get those players they really become factors as the series wears on. There are things that go into people's minds when you play against that type of player. |
Goats is a very emotional player who plays on the edge, and sometimes that edge tilts. |
Good players score those goals. Guys like you or I, they'd be in the stands. |
Guys going out all the time, we needed to suck it up. |
He [Richards] is just the whole package for me. He's going to be a great player in our league. ... Even this year he's going to be a good player for us. |
He brings a calmness that's good for us. |
He has a sore groin. I saw him talking to the trainers so I pulled him out. |
He has an honest appraisal of himself. He's hard on himself and he's demanding of himself. That's what makes special players. You talk to anybody who is a special player in the league... They put more pressure on themselves than anybody else does. |
He has everyone in the National Hockey League surprised. We didn't expect him to be this physical or this dominating so early in the season, |
He has to play a certain way to be effective. He's a very emotional player and plays on that edge. Sometimes that edge tilts, but that's no different than a lot of other players. They play on that ledge all the time. But Gauthier has been really dependable. He's able to play against the other team's best players and it has an impact in the game. |
He left [feeling] good when he left here. He was on the ice for almost 50 minutes today, did every goaltender activity without the puck and the next phase is stopping pucks. |
He needs to have a big year. It's his third year pro and that's usually when players start stepping ahead. He showed flashes in the (Calder Cup) playoffs and now all we're looking for is consistency. |
He played on only about 50-60 percent energy and he was still an effective player. |
