He wasn't ready. He was sweeping the ice away. What are you going to do? This is the new NHL. |
He, (Wayne) Gretzky and Gordie (Howe), for me, personally, are the guys. Special player, special person, special talent. |
He'll help immensely. Eric gives stability back there. It allows the young guys to go back where they are more comfortable and we're not asking too much of them. |
He's a competitor -- that's why he got the start. He'll rebound nicely. |
He's a really smart player who kind of grows on you. He's always in the right place at the right time and he's solid everywhere. |
He's a significant player of our team. We need him in the lineup. |
He's a young player in his first series. He got welcomed in a big way. He'll be back. |
He's been excellent. I think he's been the star the first two games [of the season]. |
He's earned a right to be a prime time player for us. (Sim) has just come out and earned his spot. |
He's good for shock therapy. We don't necessarily listen for his ideas, but for his passion. |
He's kind of an unsung hero on the hockey club. He just does his job and competes every night. You know what you're going to get when he comes to the rink. |
He's not playing. He got hit (Monday) and he had concussion symptoms again, so he's out. We don't know until he feels better whether he's going to come back or not, but he's certainly not playing Wednesday or Friday, that's for sure. |
He's our captain, he's just not another player. |
He's our captain, he's not just another player. |
He's real impressive. His skill level and his skating level are incredible. I think that he's a special player, but I don't think there is much extra pressure on him right now. I think right now he's able to find his own level because we are competent back there. We have good players back there so he's going to be able to develop at the proper pace. But when you have a player who is that strong, everybody gets excited. And I think we are all feeling like this is a terrific opportunity for him and the franchise. |
