deserved fame goals great hall hands hat hockey keeps national night piece puck scoring stage three trick wants
He's a great player. He's got great hands and he's got speed. He wants the puck all the time. He got three goals and he will be in the Hall of Fame if keeps scoring like that in the National Hockey League, there's no question. But we never got a piece of him all night and we have to set that stage that way and we didn't. He got the hat trick and he deserved it.
encompass good great helps human player quality
He's a real professional that's a good human being and helps as a great teammate. When you encompass all those things, he's a real quality player but more so quality person.
dangerous goes impact player series work
He's just got to work his way back in and he's a dangerous player for us. He'll have a big impact as the series goes on.
carry core group guys key step strong stronger team
I don't think our key guys were strong tonight. Our key guys carry the team and they're going to have to be stronger for us to be successful. Our whole core group has to step up and do a better job.
guys overtime point tie took
I give our guys a lot of credit. They battled back to tie it up and took it to overtime to get a point there.
experience game goal great pace pass sees slower walker
He made a great pass on ( Scott Walker 's) goal (last Sunday). That's what experience brings. He sees the game at a little slower pace than some of the young guys.
san
We just have to do that in San Jose.
areas equal good key surprise
He was really good in key areas of the game. He was equal to the task. And it didn't surprise me.
against bothered due good period played second team tear
I didn't like the way we played our game. The second period killed us. A lot it was due to face-offs. It started there. Structurally, we didn't play intelligently and that bothered me. When you do that against a good team like Atlanta, they will tear you apart.
chances goals guys last penalties taxed three time winning
I can't really say a whole lot that you can print. Any time you give up three power-play goals in a game, your chances of winning aren't very good. We had a lot of guys who were taxed by all the penalties these last two games.
feels good hockey hurt knows league player situation studies top ways
He can hurt you in a lot of different ways because he's got such good vision. He's got such good hockey sense. He knows and feels pressure. He knows what the situation is and studies the game. That's why he's been a top player in this league a long, long time.
exactly letter protects puck rules starting sure
He protects the puck very well, but I'm starting to look at those penalties, and they're pretty weak. But they are penalties, if you want to go the letter of the law. On some of them, I'm not exactly sure what the rules are. They're different rules for him, I guess.
columbus goal needed paul puck stepped
Columbus scored a goal and we needed something to happen. Paul got the puck right back and scored. He stepped up and got it done.
certain games horse next nice start
I just said to the guys, 'When certain things end you've got to get back on the horse and start all over again. That's over with, that's a nice chapter. Let's do something now through the next 73 games. The next 73 games are as important as the first nine.
