Obviously it was a set play and we didn't react to it well enough. |
The first period was very good and the second was kind of a characteristic that I thought we had gotten away from. |
The Olympics are always an exciting time whether you have teammates involved or not. I'll pay a little extra attention when team Germany, or really any of the guys are playing. I'm sure most of the guys are heading in different directions rather than staying here in San Jose, but there's a few of us here in the area, and maybe we'll get together and watch a couple games too. |
They throw just about everything at you. They're creative, good players and they make things happen. It's been an exciting line to watch. |
They're probably one of the best or the best passing club. You give a team like that room ... We got away from things we wanted to do. |
We let two games in a row slip, and after what occurred earlier in the year, we thought we should address it and take care of things quickly. |
We make it tougher than we needed to. We got away from things we wanted to do. |
We've had the playoff mentality for a while now where it's you've got to push it under the rug whether it's good or bad and move on to the next game. |
We've lost a few key guys but there's some good young players in our organization that will fill those spots and we intend on not missing a beat from the last season and maybe getting even a little bit better. |
Where it gets really complicated is some player reps are on different teams now and some aren't even playing. Some executive-committee members have retired. So who gets a vote? Who still has a say in the matter? Without those guys in there, should somebody be promoted? |
