When you have that kind of depth that comes back from injuries, it makes you a stronger club. |
When you're in a situation like we're in now, of course there's going to be frustration there. These guys, they care. They're professional athletes who really care. There's nothing they want to do more than win a hockey game. It just seems like we make one mistake here, one mistake there, it's 2-0 and that's hard to accept. |
With the way our roster is right now, there's not an ideal guy to put out in that situation. That's not knocking any younger guys, but that's putting a lot of pressure on a younger guy to play in a situation like that. |
You can see he's starting to get it. We've been bringing him along slowly here. He is very strong in the puck area. He's surprised a lot of people how strong he is on his skates. |
You can't do anything ... you argue. It was very obvious that he did it. I don't know how you can have two referees miss it ... I don't understand it. |
You can't help but follow his work ethic. He'll give you everything he has. |
You can't take it at the end of the game. |
You could see that they were a desperate team. They want to make the playoffs. They're a strong defensive team and I don't think we were as physical as we could have been out there. |
You don't ever quit. It would be nice to finish the season on a winning note, at least we won our last game. I know from the coaches' office, they're not going to quit. I don't expect the players to, either, just to get through the game. I expect them to compete and win a hockey game. |
You don't want to aggravate (the hand). It's just a matter of letting it settle down. I think he'll be fine. He seems pretty confident (about playing Sunday). I can't say for sure because it's a day-to-day thing. |
You hope to get it to overtime. But you know, there's lessons to be learned there. ... Their best players were their best players. |
You know his personality, I don't think so. I've been trying to build him up all the time. One thing he's not is an overconfident individual or player. I think I have more confidence in his ability than he does. |
You look at those players maybe being in your lineup. But that's the way it is. There's going to be a lot of parity in the league, and it's going to make it very competitive. |
You never say never until mathematically you're out. I'm here to coach every game, and I'm coaching every game to win. |
You've got to know where the puck is. It goes off the glass, you've got to look around ... for the puck. |
