He's coming into this knowing he'll be a fresh voice and pair of eyes in evaluations. I think he's going to be able to start from scratch, in terms of evaluations of goaltenders. Hopefully he'll allow us to make the right choices and select a starter. |
Highly competitive is an understatement. |
Highly competitive is an understatement. The companies are stumbling all over themselves. It's gotten to where students during their internships are making more than their parents. |
History matters. It weighs on you. |
Honestly I would prefer that not to happen. I would much rather have three or four guys averaging in double figures than to have one or two putting up big points. It just makes it that much harder for teams to defend you when you've get three or four guys that are capable of scoring points. |
I couldn't get my legs going. I felt terrible. We practiced very well (Sunday), too. We didn't have our legs at all. When they got up by two, it was hard to get through them. It's disappointing, but we have to find answers. |
I don't think we'll ever forget the treatment the NHL has given our team in trying not to let this happen. It was a joke. I think it's a slap in the face the NHL has given our fans because they should've been involved. This should have been at the Forum in front of 22,000 people as we walk up and get the rings and open it up and show the fans. I personally feel the NHL has taken some of that away from us. |
I felt that our team came out and played a real good playoff game. I think we put ourselves back on the map as a playoff team for two periods. We know how we can play. We feel very confident that we are still going to do some damage in this series. |
I had no idea what to expect going into the game. |
I personally believe that the budget has areas that are questionable. It is the staff's responsibility to look at that and back it down. |
I saw some improvement tonight defensively. I don't think anybody really had an outstanding individual performance but I think as a team we got better tonight. |
I tell high school seniors not to let salary be the only factor in deciding to study petroleum engineering. The worst thing you can do is go into a career you don't like even though the salary is good. |
I tell these kids as freshmen (that) by the time they get out of here, they're going to need an agent to negotiate their contracts. |
I think we have to clean up the little things ... the little things that made us a real good team. That's winning all the loose-puck battles. Killing that big penalty. Scoring the big goal on the power play. We've lost a little bit of that. We're playing well, but not well enough. |
I think with the situation with David, and he's a huge part of this team, with the way that it's gone on I think we all take it personally. We all need to step up. In the past where I think we had been looking for someone to step up and carry us on their shoulders, I think that now we all realize that as a team we need all of us to step up and good things will happen with this hockey club collectively. |
