He's played well in Rochester and done a good job on penalty killing. |
He's probably too unselfish. He has got to take opportunities when they are there. |
He's really helping his cause. |
He's showing a lot of leadership that way. We need him. He's one of our more talented players; a player with good speed, powerful, goes to the net. Early in the year he wasn't going to the net as much; he's been going to the net and shooting the puck more. |
He's very responsible both ends of the ice. He's a smart player. He's a competitor. He's a complete player. |
His ability to move the puck and his shot are really what we were looking for. I think he's settled in and done a good job. |
I can't blame the effort tonight. We played hard and probably deserved a better fate. We're on the road. We did some good things, and they capitalized on some mistakes, and that cost us tremendous effort. |
I don't know exactly what the rules are, but gambling is a big business, I guess. It's not for me to say whether it's right or wrong. |
I don't like to keep kids like that out of the lineup. They need to play; that's how they're going to get better. |
I don't like to keep kids out of the lineup. If they're going to be up here, they need to play. Rochester played last night and have two games this weekend. I didn't use [Campbell] Thursday night and had we played [Saturday] I would have gone with the same lineup. |
I don't think (either) is serious. |
I don't think [the injuries] are serious. |
I don't think it's a big problem with the National Hockey League. It's good that they have that like they have it in other sports and they have it before the Olympics. You want to maintain the integrity of the sport and, to me, you need to have some standards. The best way to regulate it is to have some testing. |
I don't think this is a big problem in the NHL. But I think it's good to have this. You need to have some integrity in the sport and to have some standards. The best way to do that is have testing. |
I got a chance to see how certain players perform. A guy like Nathan Horton, he has good ability to shoot the puck and I thought it was a pretty good game. Both teams were pretty well-balanced. |
