Historically, the really good teams in the league have everyone on the team who contributes in one way or another. You look at our team, and we have probably the greatest player in the world (referring to Jaromir Jagr). But we also have a lot of really good role players. The guys who score points are going to get a lot more of the accolades. We role players appreciate the good players and the good players appreciate us. |
It's disappointing not to win one or both games. When you leave it into overtime and shootouts, anything can happen so we have to clean up our act a little bit in the early periods. |
There are guys in the room that constantly talk, but he's a guy that says specific things at specific times, being as he's our best player. And also to keep us positive in the last little bit, it was kind of a tough go. He was just saying, 'Guys, you're a good team.' If he believes that, we all have to believe that. |
