All three goals came on turnovers. They took advantage of us. We've got to find a way to not turn the puck over. |
Early in the year where we lost 11 or 12 in a row, there were times when I didn't want to show my face in public. It was frustrating. You feel like you're letting a lot of people down and you expect so much more out of yourself and from the organization. |
He knows how much we expect out of him every night, and he's been great on and off the ice for us. |
He looked good. We had a pretty short practice but I thought he looked really good. |
He said 'Guys, I apologize for the situation I put you in, I put everyone in a bad spot a little bit. We didn't expect much from him, we were just happy he was back. |
He was just a dynamic player, and he didn't get enough credit for his defensive play. He was great in his own zone. |
He's a very skilled guy; we always knew that. |
He's your marquee player. He's a guy they can still build around and he's a guy that can still produce in terms of a lot of goals and points when he's healthy. |
I played with Keith in Phoenix when he was pretty heavy and he scored 50 goals. I've seen Keith play at a certain weight and be pretty darn successful. |
I think you've got to look at teams like Carolina and the New York Rangers . A year ago nobody expected them to be where are today and all of a sudden they're Stanley Cup contenders, especially Carolina. |
I'm not going to say it was the prettiest game, but I think the third period, we played solid. 'Sandy' was the key to the game. He made some huge saves for us. |
I'm sure he will. He had a lot of respect in St. Louis. |
I'm sure there will be more changes. |
In my opinion, he's a guy that still has a lot of hockey left to play. When he's healthy, he's still one of the best players in the game. The salary he would be making him makes him very affordable. |
It wasn't a very good day for hockey in North America. |
