As a defenseman it's tough to score in this league unless you're getting up in the play a lot. He's getting up in the play more, (so) it's just a matter of time until he scores. He's starting to get a fair amount of assists, which is the main thing. |
Credibility is the biggest thing he brought. He thought the game better than anyone else besides (Wayne) Gretzky. It's pretty high praise, but it's not ridiculous. It's pretty accurate. As far as having hockey sense, he was second to one man and that man is not really human as far as I'm concerned. |
I haven't seen a replay, but he was circling one way and I was circling the opposite way on the same track. I didn't see him just until the last second, and he never saw me. It didn't feel like a whole lot of me, but he must have had a lot more weight on his leg because he obviously is in rough shape. |
I knew he was unbelievable before I got here, but he's even better than I thought. He's making ridiculous saves look routine. |
I look forward to matching up with him, ... He brings a lot of skill to the game and he's one of the best skaters in the league. |
I'd rather stay in Florida. I really enjoy it, (and) I like the team we have. We've made some improvements, we're going to continue to make improvements, and I'd like to be here when it gets turned around for good. |
I'm sure [the streak] has been talked about this year and is still being talked about. It's kind of crazy that they could keep it going so long. Even some teams with dynasties don't come close to doing that. |
I've never been on a team where it's been so one-sided. |
If you'd told me we'd be at this position at the start of the year, I'd be a little bit disappointed. But if you told we would be where we were a month ago and got to this point, I'm pretty happy with where we are. |
It's tough when you've got that much time off. You don't expect that at this time of the season. |
Once you see the names involved, anyone who is a fan of hockey wants to hear what comes of it. Whether you're a player or a fan of the sport, it's pretty interesting. Everybody's paying attention to it. |
That line is a good (No. 1) line, very talented. They create scoring chances, and if they get enough, they're going to score. |
That should be fresh in our minds next year, but also the way we played in November should be fresh in our minds. Everybody knows that's what cost us and we shouldn't forget about that. We should remember that just as much as the way we played well. |
That's a team you can't put on the power play, because if you do, you're playing with fire. It's just a matter of time before they strike again. |
The frustrating thing about it is the way we lost. It's bad enough to lose, but to lose like that ... we just seemed to be flat. I don't think we gave up a ton of chances, but we didn't create any down there. ... We didn't come with the urgency we needed. |
