His mind is in the right place now. |
His timing was perfect. Going into the third period with the lead, you should win. Especially when you score right at the buzzer. It's really deflating. |
Hockey is a game where intimidation is still a part of the game, and you'll go to great lengths to try to win a game. If you know a player has an injury or weakness, he becomes vulnerable. He becomes targeted. |
Hopefully this is a good slap in the face for our players. We turned the puck over in the neutral zone 30 times. When you lose execution its hard to get it back. I'm disappointed in the way our top players played and execution. It's just one game and we have to move on. |
Hopefully this is a real good slap in the face for us. The level of urgency has to be turned up several octaves now. |
I feel much better about our team than I did two days ago. The recognition of how hard this is going to be is a positive thing for our team. It takes guys like Brenden Morrow and [Jason] Arnott and [Jere] Lehtinen to drag everybody into it. |
I like it. Fans get to see two teams punch and counter punch a little bit., It builds up a rivalry and it makes for a very good hockey game. |
I like what they're doing with the rules. |
I like what they're doing with the rules. The rules are taking players out of the game whose primary job is fighting and forcing teams to consider using players who can skate and play. |
I really think the NHL is going to stick to its guns this time, and I think that's good. You don't want to allow an inferior team to take back an advantage they haven't earned. |
I think he's really looking forward to the playoffs. It's a chance to kind of redeem some of the demons he's had in the regular season. |
I think it's ultimately a team game that should be decided by a team. But during the season, you find a result and you just see the excitement it's given the fans and the players. It's been a nice jolt in the arm for us. |
I think Janne was a very solid player. You could tell the experience factor was on his side. |
I think there will certainly be some movement, but there won't be the laundry list we have seen in the past. |
I think we've gotten some timely goals and pucks have gone in for us. We've capitalized on our chances. |
