For a championship city, it's pretty tough. The Red Sox, the (New England) Patriots won three years out of the last four. Maybe it's our turn. Hopefully it is. It will be kind of fun to do it. |
He doesn't really shoot a lot. He can score, there's no question about it, but he likes to pass. He likes to hold on to the puck because he's so big and strong. He's so great with the puck that I just have to find the holes because he draws a lot of attention. He could score 40 or 50, but he likes to pass a lot more. |
He was a big offensive threat for us, and to lose him when you're having trouble scoring goals, it's going to hurt the team. To top it off, losing to a team that we're chasing, it's not good. |
He's a kid who sees the game, knows the game and he really picks up on things really quickly. You can't say enough about him. He's well beyond 20 years old. |
He's one of the best, no question. To force him out is pretty good. Maybe he had an off night. |
Hopefully, they really mean zero tolerance for the hooking and holding. Personally, I think 10 or 15 games into the season you're going to see a lot of breakaways. The [defensemen] aren't that smart anyway sometimes, so they'll be way up by center ice and by the time they realize we're getting more room with the two-line passes, it'll be trapped up again. |
I feel good walking around. I put the skates on (yesterday) morning, but I can't push off yet. It's still really sore when I try to skate. I can't stride yet. The bone is still really sensitive. Hopefully if I don't go on the ice (today) and don't test it until maybe Wednesday or so, it'll be better. |
I think the true fans will come out. It's the casual fans who might take a little while. But the true fans will always come out and watch the game. They miss it just as much as the players miss it. For a championship city, it's pretty tough because the Red Sox [are champions] and the Patriots won [three of the last four Super Bowls], and maybe it's our turn. |
In hockey towns, like Boston is, the true fans are always going to come out. No question about it. |
It is a sacred ground for golf. I was really taken in by the history of the club going back to Bobby Jones. |
It's always tough when you lose in the first round. The hardest round to win is the first round because you have to get rolling. Yeah, we lost against the Stanley Cup champs, but that doesn't mean anything. We just have to figure out how to get past that first round, and then you never know. |
It's exciting to have them here. To have them see it and hear their feedback, that's worth its weight in gold. |
It's tough. We're losing a great teammate and a guy that really helped us out a lot in Sammy....He was one of our big offensive threats and we're having trouble scoring goals, so it's probably going to hurt the team. |
Maybe they went on more emotion losing him and trying to get a win for him. We just didn't play well. It was a stinker. |
There are sharks everywhere, obviously. But I've never seen one while I was surfing. It's an unwritten rule that we don't talk about it. If you're going to go out on the water worried about that, you're going to freak out. You shouldn't be out there if you're thinking about sharks. |
