(That was one) of the grittiest games we've played. That Houston game was an eye-opener. |
Anyone he's played with has elevated their game. He has the ability to make people around him better. |
Everyone contributed. We had scoring from every line. |
Generally speaking, the audit results are very positive and illustrate all the effort the Arrowhead team has put into improving the software development process. |
Guys want to play in the NHL and that's where he's at, but it's a well-deserved honor for him. He's a big, strong guy and he makes it hard on other players by playing hard. |
He didn't see a lot of shots, but he played neat and tidy and was strong in the third period. |
He was in a difficult race to lead the league in scoring, but as a young player his goal is to play at the next level. He's gotten better and better every game. We've stressed defense to offense. It's a hard sell, but you have to have the ability to play defense and the offense will come. |
I don't know if there are too many better rookies in this league. He's a guy who has an inner drive. He lets his actions do the talking and he's still a young guy. We expect a lot out of him. He has been great for us. |
I saw a lot more that liked than I didn't like tonight. But we've given up three shorthanded goals in our last three games. And that's something that we've got to get better at. |
I think any time you go into a game the most important person is your goaltender. He's going to lead you into battle - into the game. How he plays has the biggest outcome on the game. |
I think it's a good test for our team. We're in a race, which is great for our guys because there are expectations. I don't think it's pressure. It's just expectations that if you do enough good things you put yourself in position to make the playoffs. |
I think it's good for both parties. It allows him to keep playing and he's an excellent player, he's an NHL player. He's had a couple of days off. I think he enjoys the guys and we enjoy him. When you get a guy like that, it gives us more depth. |
I think we've realized the intensity that has to be matched or taken into these games. If we run the table and Omaha still stays ahead of us, kudos to them, but basically we control a lot of our own destiny. |
I think when you have experience in those (new) situations, it does help you. You have a chance to create a culture. I just think you've got to have everybody on the same agenda, everyone from ticket sales to the president of the hockey team. Whenever you go into a new endeavor, everybody is new. Everybody is trying to get things done. |
If we remain humble and hungry, we can win. |
