I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's just a minor thing. |
I'm disappointed it happened the way it happened. It looked like an innocent play. It's a big hole in our lineup. I said from Day 1 of training camp the strength of our team was the defensive corps, both in terms of numbers and ability, but to lose two of them ... it's a big hole for our group. The onus is going to be on other people, it's an opportunity for other people. |
I'm not a doctor, but normally that injury is a lengthy amount of time. |
I'm not going to criticize our guys. They lost a hockey game, it's a best-of-7 series. They (Tampa Bay) played really well. |
I'm really disappointed with the way we started. They jumped all over us and we just weren't ready for it. It just seemed like everything they touched ended up in our net. |
I'm sure (a storm) would affect their attendance greatly. |
I've got (Kelly) there because I want him to give support defensively to two of our best offensive players. |
I've made a variety of trades in my career, but that was obviously one of the best. |
I've never seen a player take it off the other player's head and then hit him over the head with it. I don't know why the kid did that. I don't know what was going on there even. |
I've never seen a player take the helmet off the head of another player and hit him in the head with it. We talk about respect among the players all the time. That's high in the category. I'm not sure why he did it. |
I've spoken with (Martin) about this and I understand what happened here, |
It looks like they are going to try and sign him. |
It looks like we had the great run, we've kind of fallen off a bit, and now we've got to get it back. |
It seemed like they got better as the game went on, ... We had a lot of chances, but it just seemed like one of those games we weren't going to win. |
It seems like decades ago that we've played solid. We're not moving the puck. We're trying to find a way to get our defense back. |
