We look pretty on paper, but what are we? We'll find out what we are, starting today. |
We thought the best precaution was to have him enter the hospital for observation. |
We want to give him a good look here, see what he can do. We're hoping he can show us something. |
We were positioned well for what we had to deal with, and it's worked out very well. For the first time around in this, it was hard to really anticipate what might happen, but we're very, very pleased. |
We're delighted to have Kevin back where he belongs, with the Penguins. Kevin brings a passion to the game that is second to none. |
We're done negotiating. We're just waiting for the answer. |
We're down to a bare-bone operation in terms of players. After this weekend, we'll be down to 12 forwards, six defensemen and two goalies, and any time you get in that situation and have an injury, you can bring people up (from the American Hockey League) on emergency, and it doesn't affect what's going on down there in terms of being able to go back and play in the playoffs. That's important for us because we want to see these guys as much as we can this spring and make some decisions on them for the future and for our lineup in the future. |
We're starting to get used to each other and play more like the way I thought we'd be able to play. But we get a good lead and we're still giving up some goals I wish we wouldn't give up. |
We've been pleased all along with how our young kids are coming along. What's unique now is that they're all getting an opportunity. So yeah, we're pleased, but we expected it sooner or later. Seems to be now sooner rather than later. |
We've seen him over the years, and the scouts have good things to say. He's got good speed and good skills. Cross obviously has great size. He's sound defensively but can move the puck well, too. |
We've talked about it. If we sign anyone, it will be for the upcoming season, not this one. |
We've talked on the phone and he's been doing things, but we haven't had a chance to sit down because we've been gone and he's been out of town so our schedules haven't meshed very well yet. We'll just talk about what I'd like to see him doing for this next little while. |
You have to definitely have all your paperwork [filed with the league office] by three o'clock. In the past, there was a little flexibility. There isn't anymore. |
You know I don't talk about that stuff. |
You're going to do it his way or not going to play, and from what I've seen this year we need that. We all believe we have the ability here. |
