We're a struggling team, too. We're not taking them for granted. They've got a lot of young hungry players trying to establish themselves in the NHL. These are two points we have to have. We can't afford to come in here and look at their record and think these are an easy two points.
competition directly easy few four great job michigan played players preparing quite state step tough wonderful
I had a wonderful four years at Michigan State and they did a great job preparing me for the NHL. We played tough competition so it was pretty easy for me to step right in when I went to the NHL. I went directly to the NHL and quite a few other Michigan State players have done the same thing.
mistake guy next
You can talk so much. The proof is how you compete to the guy next to you and if a guy makes a mistake, you've got to be there to pick him up and not put him down.
jobs people east
People in the East Conference are starting to see how good the twins are. They make my job easy. I just go to the net and look for holes and they keep finding me.
jobs player average
You never have enough competition at any position, ... Several of the players listed at right wing have played center in the NHL, like Trevor Linden. Some can play both wings. I've been skating on a line with the Sedin twins. They are a lot more skilled than some people give them credit. Look at their point totals and they are right up there in their point-per-minute averages. My job will be to complement them and try to get our line to provide secondary scoring behind the big line of Naslund, Bertuzzi and Morrison. Those guys look good and I expect they'll be the top line in the NHL again.

I think we have a lot of confidence in our top two lines. We think we're capable of scoring goals and any time of the game. It's just a matter of getting it done.

We never got frustrated. Maybe a few weeks ago, we would have. We've really bought into what will make us successful. ... We showed a lot of maturity tonight.

We got off to a rough start in New York where I wasn't playing too much. Going to Washington I was having fun playing hockey again but got hurt. I got traded to L.A. and everything was a downward spiral.
challenge door face guys head room
We're not going to get in through the back door so we're going to have to face this challenge head on. That's how I see it and that's how the guys in the room see it, too.
chances early intensity match
We were able to match their intensity early and we got some big chances late.
conscious effort front harder move score
In the new NHL, it's a little harder to move you once you get in front of the net. We made a pretty conscious effort to get in front and try to score from there.
