hope sure
I sure hope they won?t let something like that happen.
anyone behind closer good score sure
It was closer than the score indicated and we just wanted to make sure that we didn't let anyone behind us, and we did a good job, especially in the first.
bigger defensive games improving learn learned offensive playing sure
We've been able to use these games to learn a lot. We've learned a lot about playing on the bigger ice, about playing in the offensive and defensive zones, and what we've got to do to make sure we keep improving as a team.
bit fun nervous sure
I haven't thought about it too much. I'm sure I'll think about it more (today). I'll be a little bit nervous probably, but it will be fun to be back.
came early last sure time
I came back too early the last time so I just wanted to make sure I was ready.
asked bed bring change color colors paint sure wants whatever
The first thing he (Callan) asked was, 'Can I bring my Zamboni bed?' I said, 'Sure, you can bring the Zamboni bed, and you can paint it whatever color you want.' He said he wasn't sure he wanted to change its colors yet. The other one just wants a cat. We're not getting a cat.
everybody room
Everybody in that room is disappointed right now. That's just the way it is.
forget lead obviously pressure tonight
There's obviously pressure for us to be there. When they got the lead tonight we were tentative, it's like it was in our nerves. We have to forget about that and regroup.
although canada guys hard love schedule talk
I think guys talk about that, let's make it one or the other. Every two years I think it's hard to get the guys together, especially with the way the NHL schedule is. Although personally, I love the old Canada Cup.
confidence needed practice road trip week win
We needed to get a win and get some confidence. We had a long week of practice going over some things. We did a lot of little things better than we did on the road trip and it really helped.
home
To come home like this . . . It?s disappointing, to say the least.
behind fight game heart holiday open played tonight
Having to fight back like we did I think showed a lot of heart. We played an open game tonight and I think we had to do that after getting behind early. We just have to get back to things after the holiday and go back to work.
safe
Yeah, you don?t want to do that. You want to play safe and get it out. But those things happen.
again blue care cost job knew obviously olympics ready stay top
Obviously my first job is being ready for the Blue Jackets, and I knew if I got dinged again with the Olympics approaching it could cost me. So that's obviously in the back of your mind. You just want to take care of it and stay on top of it.
