He wasn't quite there. We were working hard, and every guy was pressing. ... I need Marty to press, too. |
He's a fantastic player. You allow him to bomb us from where he was bombing them, he should have had four or five. |
He's a player now that is a lot more determined to be good in all areas of the ice. He really wants to be part of the big team picture and be counted on in important situations, not just the flashy offense. He wants the nod in the key situations where he thinks now that he can make a difference. |
He's anxious to play. He's cleared for physical stuff in practice, which we're giving him a pretty good dose of today. . . . I wouldn't rule him out for later in the week. |
He's been a main cog for us. When he's on the ice he makes things happen. He keeps getting better, and we need him to get better. |
He's been put on the concussion program again, but the first one was so severe I think the program may go longer. There's no set time on when he can be back or when he can even resume practice. Symptom-free for a week doesn't necessarily mean he can have contact again. That could take weeks. |
He's built for the game. He's got good tools at the back end and he's a very good defender. We've never given him a set role. He began to play well on the power play and he gained a lot of confidence from that. That confidence came from him knowing that he would be in the lineup night after night. |
He's doing better. He's on his way back to Buffalo, and he feels better. We had contact with him yesterday, and he wants to see our doctors to see when he can get back skating. That's a big change from last week where he wasn't doing so well. |
He's going to be a tremendous asset. He's well-respected. He's passionate about the game. From his practice habits to his workout habits to his preparation for the game, both on the ice and off the ice, no player can question his opinion. |
He's got a lot of guys angry at him, and that's a good thing, |
He's got good size and good speed, but he's got to do something with it, |
He's got some work to do. |
He's in a battle. But in Tim's case he's really matured. He put the extra time in to get himself bigger, stronger. It really is about his career, and I think he's trying real hard to resurrect it. |
He's in on four or five chances every night. The odds right there aren't where they should be because he doesn't need that many chances. I think he's put a little pressure on himself to get the first marker on the board. |
He's not well. I'd put him in the serious category. He wasn't doing well, even at the end of the game. |
