He felt a pop in his ribs. He's definitely in pain, but we don't know exactly what that's about. We'll get a picture (today) and find out what the pain means. |
He had a couple good games right out of the chute and I think he played so well because he was so hyped up after being out so long, |
He had lots of power-play time and it wasn't going for him. Maybe he was pressing, maybe the time away left some edge off his game and he might be ready to try again. |
He has a concussion. ... He went for an MRI and there was no facial damage other than a cracked nose, so he'll be under observation. |
He has shown, basically in my mind, the signs of leadership. |
He has some pain still on the inside (of his knee). I don't know exactly what ligament that is, but he has some pain in his dry land training that shows up. Until that disappears, he won't be cleared to do anything. |
He hasn't raised himself up to be a first- or second-line player yet and as a coach you want him to challenge himself to move up and not be happy with what he's doing now. |
He is a guy you can't discount here, ... Right off the bat, we know that he is a highlight reel sometimes. He is a very deceptive skater and is deceptive on the attack. Maybe we end up carrying him if we have three lines that are going to be logging lots of time. Maybe we have a specialty sort of a situation where we consider keeping him for the power play and shootout opportunities. |

He is mobile and smart. He can contribute offensively and he's not a liability on the defensive side. |
He is one of the best goalies to ever put a Canadian jersey on. He had a slow start to the season, at least for him, but he's on top of his game now. |
He is sharp right now and was certainly the difference in the game tonight. |
He looks like the real deal, ... He knows how to put the puck in. He had a couple of chances against us and I think we helped him a bit, but he is a smart enough player to get there and get it done. |
He made the difference in the second period, he was terrific, |
He may not be that long. We're building a brace for him. |
