He had to do that, because it was going in. I was right behind the net watching it, and Chuck would have had that one. |
He was great. He made some very big saves. I have seen him play before and he is a big player. |
He's a big key to their club and he represents a lot of their speed. We try to make sure we all finish our checks on him . . . even the smaller hits, hopefully we wear him down a little. The more hits we can get on him the better. |
He's a big part of Hockey Canada, he's probably the biggest part, and it's great that he's coming over to lead our team again. |
He's a top D-man in the league. He obviously was a pretty big boost out there for them. |
He's in some very good company. |
He's right at the top of his class, there's no question. He's going to be a star. |
He's the top D-man in the league. |
I don't know. I have had some success, been able to score a few goals. It's nothing I can put my finger on. I wish I could carry that over. |
I don't think he ever beat me [in practice], not once. |
I don't think that's for us to say, |
I don't think the pressure shifts. I think it's the same; there's more pressure on them. I don't think that changes. |
I get excited about playing in Edmonton, it's such a great atmosphere, and the games are fun to play in. We know the importance of these games, and coming away with two points is big for us. |
I love playing here. There have been some growing pains over the years, and I want to be here for the good times, and I think they're coming; I really believe in what the ownership is doing and the commitment they've made and I'm very thankful for that and also with our teammates. It's amazing who we brought in and who we have. |
I really like the position of our team, ... We're a young team that has a young core that's still intact and now we're one of those teams that's going to benefit from having free agents become available. If a team like ours is missing one piece, now we're able to go out and find that piece that puts us over the top. |
