It's not like I'm dropping the gloves there, |
Its sure good to get off to a good start, |
Obviously they didn't have their full lineup, but we'll take the win, and any time you get six goals, that's good for us. |
Penalties killed us all year even after being addressed. Guys need to adjust to calls. |
People who know hockey know this team. I came here because I liked what they had going. |
That was a huge thrill for me. The game misses guys like that. He certainly could dominate out there. |
That was probably one of our worst games on the trip. We were in the box all game killing penalties and we're a horrible team when he have to kill that many penalties. |
That's a huge game and we've got to be able to show we can bounce back. It's nice that we've got a back-to-back situation, so hopefully we'll be able to forget about this one quickly and get ready for (tonight). |
That's why home-ice is so important. |
The power play has basically been totally shut down and that's obviously something we need to help us out. The way the game is called today, you need at least one power-play goal per game. We were getting two per game for awhile, but we're not now. |
There might have been some of that at first. But when you start 8-0, teams are going to be ready to play you. |
They are a great hockey club and a very disciplined hockey club. With our speed we got some more power plays today and that was crucial. |
They have great goaltending, great work ethic, and if they lacked anything, it was some scoring punch up front. I looked at that as a big role I could fill, and I was really excited to come here and do that. |
They showed a commitment to me that I was the guy they wanted to bring to Nashville, and I was very excited about their hockey club. |
This is a place where you can win, and I think it's what the league wants and that's what they got. |
