First and foremost, I've done nothing wrong – nothing that has anything along the lines of betting. That never happened. I didn't bet. It didn't happen. It's not going to happen. It hasn't happened, and it's not something I've done. |
For us to be successful, we've got to be a little bit better defensively and tighten up. We're not going to get six goals every night. But we'll go with the flow right now. We're winning. |
From the fans' point of view, it's wonderful. From a coach's point of view, it's painful. It's hard to watch. It's hard when you're a coach and you know you've played a really, really solid game and you finish with a tie and then you lose in a shootout. Those (losses) are hard to swallow. |
He is a phenomenal player. |
He just has to get off to the kind of start that he's capable of and it's as simple as that. |
He knows the game extremely well, ... He studied the game for a lot of years. |
He looked solid and stable. He looked good in his first game for us. |
He played very well. I'm sure he's tired. He played in Calgary (Wednesday night) and then flew to Phoenix (Thursday morning). He look really good and gave us some speed up the middle. This was a nice start for him, and nice to see him get the winning goal. |
He was an exceptional leader who was unselfish, hardworking and dedicated. He truly loved the game. He was the best player I ever played with. |
He was the best player I ever played with and it was a pleasure to play with him each and every day. |
He was the best player I ever played with. |
He will be missed, ... But I'm happy for him. He'd had enough. |
He works harder than any athlete I've ever been around as far as off-season conditioning goes. He's a maniac . . . I see him playing another three years no question. He could be our ( Julio ) Franco . |
He'll watch not so much our guys, but he's going to watch the other goaltenders that we're going to face from the other countries, have video tapes for the coaches, the weaknesses and strengths of those goalies and their tendencies. |
He's a nice young man. We just feel at this point in time maybe he needs a change, maybe he needs a new venue. |
