He was good. He was probably the difference. Once again, I thought we played hard. We created a lot of opportunities on our power play. Once again, it's tough when you only score one goal. |
He was our leader just by his actions. He's trying to make a concerted effort to be a scoring threat himself. |
He works hard at both ends of the rink. |
He's a dangerous player. He's one of those guys who's really been able to take advantage of the rules changes. He's difficult to defend. |
He's a great player, that goes without saying. What most people don't know about him is the type of guy that he is and what he brings to our team. As far as his whole professionalism and his approach, he's been invaluable to our team. I think everybody realizes how good of a player he is. |
He's a had a great tournament. He seems to excel in that international competition, and it doesn't surprise me....He does a lot of the same things for our team and I hope it will give him a boost of confidence when he comes back to our team and gives what we need for that stretch run. |
He's a talented kid and he's a very smart player. He's the type of guy that can make something out of nothing. |
He's a very difficult player to play against because of his mobility and his awareness. |
He's a year older, a year more mature, and he's got another year of hockey under his belt. I thought the year he had down in Providence was invaluable for him. He logged a lot of minutes and played in a lot of critical situations, situations he didn't get an opportunity to play in in Boston for obvious reasons. He's a really competitive kid and I think that drive makes him what he is. He just gets better and better every day. |
He's an exciting player to watch. I think he's going to have a pretty bright career in this league. For as young as he is, he sure is dynamic. |
He's an older guy who's played a lot of hockey in a lot of different leagues and for him to persevere and to be persistent with his career and strive to get to the NHL I think is a compliment to his character. He's certainly taken advantage of an opportunity and he has been a key ingredient in us having some success in the last few weeks. |
He's been a difficult guy to replace. He's one of those guys you take for granted when you have him in the lineup. It's been tough not having him because he plays in so many different situations. He's a complete player. We hope to get him on the ice this weekend. |
He's certainly taken advantage of an opportunity. And he has been a key ingredient in us having some success in the last few weeks. |
He's getting better right in front of our eyes. |
He's got a big shot and he's using it. He's hitting the net. He's playing with more confidence. He's getting involved, he's getting up into the attack and that is giving him opportunities to shoot the puck. One of the big things we've been on him about is to make sure he hits the net. He's been doing that. |
