He was down here between periods, talking to guys, observing the game, things like that. Still very much a part of our dressing room. |
He's a classy player. |
Hey, the old style suited me fine, |
I can handle it. I expected it ... that a few players might make it personal with me. |
I definitely missed the game and I was sorry to see it taken away from us, |
I don't know what else you can do. We just threw everything at him. It's one thing to get hit by pucks, but he was actually making some pretty good saves out there. |
I don't mind that people are counting us out. My first year here was 1997 and that's when a lot of people thought the Red Wings had missed their window of opportunity and we won our first of three Stanley Cups together. |
I don't think there was anyone on this team that didn't expect that we were going to have to win games in Edmonton. |
I don't think there was anyone on this team that didn't think we'd have to win in Edmonton. The road is a place where we seem to play our best hockey, so it's on to Game 3. |
I feel bad for Joey Harrington. I think he's taking a lot more heat than he deserves. He's a very simple, easy guy to point the finger at, and some people do it for good reason, other people just do it because they hear everybody else is doing it. That's not good. |
I haven't heard anything about the betting being on hockey, and that's a very important distinction. It sounds as if it's college football and Super Bowl betting, stuff like that. |
I just try to stay ahead of my age. It means a lot. I think these are all things you reflect on at the end of the season and at the end of your career. |
I really haven't thought much about it. I've just enjoyed going out there and playing. It's been enjoyable. |
I see a lot of young players today who are supposed to be the future of the game and I shake my head. Guys who dive. Guy who don't put the team first, |
I sometimes shake my head at the some of the things that J.R. says, but in the end, L.A. is a great market and I hope he puts us on the front page there every week. |
