It's better to face it now. There's a couple weeks now where we don't play any regular-season games. It kind of shortens up the time you're going to miss. It's better to fix it now than try to play with a bad shoulder. |
Last month I finally started feeling good, ... I was just anxious to get back -- with the new signings and the new rules -- and seeing as we were out for a year. Not being able to play the next couple of months will be hard. |
My body was starting to crave more workouts. When I started working out I sat down and thought about it and I said, ?Why am I working out if I?m not going to work out to get in game shape.? That?s when I decided to play a couple more years and see how I felt after that. |
No excuses. We have to find a way to get it done. |
No matter what my final decision is, I'm going to feel the heat from either end. |
Obviously, it's tough playing that many games on the road. It helps that we won the first three games. It gives us confidence for the long stretch. |
That's something we've got to get better at. I think I should be one of the guys and I want to be one of those guys providing some offense. |
They're feeling the heat. Obviously they're hoping I play. |
We did a lot of things right, but not enough to get two points. We really wanted to win the game, but it wasn't enough. |
We just got to suck it up. Obviously, it gets harder and harder when guys are going down. Hopefully, we'll get some of the guys back pretty soon. |
We played with a little more intensity, we skated better, we battled and maybe we were a little bit more physical. But overall, our effort was better. Everyone was in. |
We were playing as a team earlier in the season, and [Tuesday] we were doing a little check to see if we're still doing those same things. He was telling us we can step it up. |
You can sense, late in the game, when they were all over us, guys were kind of laughing and smiling towards each other. To have that much fun late in a game is kind of disturbing. We do have pride to play real hard, no matter what the score. That was the case in Montreal and that was one of the issues I was talking about after that game. |
