Three games in now, and our power play isn't producing and it's costing us games. We're going to continue to work on it. It's early, but we need to put some pucks in the net.

Time goes on. No coach nowadays starts in one organization and retires in that organization.

To be honest, it's really hard to sum up in words how excited and proud I am to be asked to coach this team. We'll have one goal when the Olympics roll around in February and that's to win the gold medal. We have a legitimate chance.

To get the one 5-on-3 gave us a lift, and then to come back and get another one was big. Obviously it was a big second period for us. I think we were in control of the game at that point.

To lose a guy like Aaron certainly is a tough loss for our team. Bret is a guy we talked about when we were putting the team together and somebody I'm very comfortable with.

To lose a guy like Aaron, certainly is a tough loss for our team. Bret is a guy we talked about when we were putting the team together and somebody I'm very comfortable with. He's been one of our top defenseman here in Carolina.

To me, it looked like he got the back of Eric's legs and took him out and then got the puck.

Trust me, it's not the ultimate goal.

Trust me, when (the road trip is) over it'll be time to get home.

Ultimately, it's about production on the ice. But what's been so great about Marty is he has a great, workmanlike mentality. He's very professional. He wants to play, he'd play all the games if he could.
|
Ultimately, we took the guys that were playing the very best at the time, regardless of whether they were younger players or older players.
|
Under the circumstances, being down 2-0, I think the guys really stepped up and played.
|
Usually, you're just not around a goalie that's 21. If they are available to you, they're usually not that poised.
|
Was it a third period that we're real happy with? No. But the opposition had something to say about that. ... We move on. It's in the (win) column and it's a pretty gutsy effort by our guys.

We actually were relying on working on our power play this week. We really did a good job of staying away from penalties. The guys did a good job of keeping their sticks on the ice and checking low and coming up with the puck.
