Marian is one of the top players in this league. He's an unbelievable athlete, and he's strong on the puck. |
Mike Dunham had a real strong game. He came up with some key saves at the a very important time of the game. |
Now that we have him, we use him to his full value. On a personal note, I think in my seven years in the NHL, I would rank him second or third in the most complete players that I've coached. |
Obviously, I think he's going to be out a couple of weeks, but it could be longer. It's a small fracture. It all depends on how it heals and how much pain he can take. |
Obviously, this is a tough loss. Our margin for error is real small and we're going to have to run the table. |
Our best players are simply not our best players right now, it's as simple as this. |
Our focus is on our two guys. We're praying about their health, to overcome this tragedy. |
Our focus is on winning that game. We have no time for that. It's all about winning our games, not about settling any scores. |
Our power play was really clicking. Lots of skill, lots of speed and lots of experience. |
Power plays cost us the game. If you don't score it's one thing. But if you give up the winning goal on your power play, that's where it hurts the most. |
Right now we are playing good hockey and making a push for the playoffs. I thought the effort was great and we are skating very well. |
Right now, I root for any team that plays against Tampa Bay. I think it is only normal at this point. We need help, and any teams that want to chip in, we really appreciate their help. |
Right now, our thoughts and prayers are just with the two [players] and their families. We're a big family. ... When you face adversity or tragedy like we are now, you get even closer. |
Right now, there's lots of unknowns and speculation. Let's let the league do their stuff. |
That is a remarkable accomplishment. Unfortunately, it came against us. But at the same time, it was in front of his fans - the same fans he has been so loyal to and have been so loyal to Luc. |
