One of Allison's real strengths is he makes good plays. He can find people. O'Neill is a guy who can get open well, and Tucker is a guy that works the corners and can be first on the puck, chasing it down for them. I saw those three different sorts [of players] coming together as a threesome. |
One of the silly ones, in my opinion, is the automatic (penalty) for flipping the puck inadvertently up in the stands. We all know, and so do the officials, when it's intentional, so call the intentional ones. |
One of the things Team Canada management wanted to do, because we have so many talented Canadian players, was that availability of selecting the guy who's hot at the time. |
Our 5-on-5 play hasn't been where we want it to be. But the teams that have good special teams are getting the points. |
Our coach has our full backing. Pat's track record here speaks for itself. He's an integral part of our championship vision. |
Our defensive game was much better (Saturday). We had a good effort through our lineup. |
Our defensive zone coverage cost us the other night (against Ottawa) and it cost us tonight, |
Our guys have been pretty hot with those shots, ... Most teams are dropping off the points to cover down low so we're getting - and other teams are getting - better point opportunities to score goals. |
Our hope for him is to become that all-around defenseman you can put out in any situation and feel very comfortable, ... Guys that are thinking offense put themselves in bad spots sometimes. And so I'd like him still to be working on his positioning and his play on covering people that could be in dangerous spots. |

Our information was that there will be no suspension. |
Our quickness was not there for a while this season. For some reason the last few games we've moved the puck real well. We're getting quicker at it. |
Our scouting report was they work hard. |
Our shooting the puck in was lousy and we did not recover it very well, ... If you are standing around, you are a lot easier to keep off the scoreboard. |
Our training camp was okay, but not really strong, |
