He's starting to settle in. He made some great saves tonight. They were shooting from everywhere on him and he made some big saves. |
He's too calm and cool to let that happen to him. |
He's very skilled. I expected that to a certain degree, but he's very capable of putting the puck in the net. He's a smart player. I'd be really disappointed if he didn't have 20-plus goals. I'd be very surprised. |
Health and rest are going to be pretty prominent in dictating who comes out of it, who excels in the last little bit. We're getting healthy. The good news is Jason and Ethan are not far away. |
Hockey moulds and reveals character. The root of it is really built into the character of the person. |
Hopefully, he can continue to deliver the goods. |
Huge win for the team. |
I am numb. The plays we were making were tragic to comical. |
I don't know how serious the injury is, but we prefer him watching the game rather than playing, that's for sure. |
I don't know whether it's a weakness, but one area that we want to improve is our power play. Our penalty killing has to improve, too. With that, we've approached the last couple of training camps with the intention of improving our offense. Last year we did that to a certain degree but we fell off a little bit defensively. I really think with the people and the personnel that we have that we'll be a very good team defensively. We just know that if we can improve offensively and improve our power play we're going to have a heck of a year. |
I just wanted George to out-play the opposition. I wanted him to get some minutes and I thought he played very well. It was tough to play him too much in the third, because we needed a goal. But he created some good opportunities, so it was good to see him get in there and play some. |
I know he can shoot the puck really well, he proved that tonight with the goal. He played a real responsible game outside of that. |
I know how exciting it is for the fans. But the games are so meaningful right now, it's hard to take for us. |
I like an even-keel team, a team that doesn't get seduced by any success you have or disabled by any of your disappointments along the way. |
I liked the composure he showed. It's always important to see how a young goalie is going to react. |
