believe loss team worst
Every loss that comes, we get fundamentally worse. I believe fundamentally we are the worst team in the NHL.
Obviously, it's going to be different. But I don't feel anything about it, really.
again appears break easy entirely further league lie lying obvious owners start time union
Lying comes very easy to these people. The owners and league lie all the time to further their agenda. What that is, it appears pretty obvious to me at this point, is to break the union and start all over again with entirely new players.
agency agreed biggest far free gary gave hurdle issue salary seems tenure work
We gave in on the salary cap, the biggest issue. It seems to me that once we've done that, once we've agreed on the philosophy, we should be able to work out other things. Never in ( Gary Bettman 's) tenure as commissioner, as far as I know, was arbitration or free agency as big an issue as the salary cap. But now, it seems like we got the biggest hurdle out of the way and it only made it harder.
afford cannot consistent league year
The one thing we've had going all year is consistent inconsistency. You cannot afford that this year when league is so even.
came
It's funny, because when I came here, something made me think about what it was going to feel like going back (the first time),
behind goals hopefully later score sooner
It's a 60 or 65-minute game, so if you don't score the first little while, hopefully you score at the end. We don't want to be behind two goals every time. Sooner or later you're not going to come back.
You do not play that way in big games. It's unacceptable.
facing goal last limiting looking shoot ten
The most important thing is limiting the goalie equipment. The last ten years, I was looking at the goal and there was nothing to shoot at. It was like facing a wall.
cannot control job scoreboard watching
No scoreboard watching for me. I have a job to do and I cannot control what happens.
individual jacques team
Jacques Lemaire said when a team fails, no individual is successful, ... When a team is successful, all the individuals are successful.
coach definitely demanding enjoy work
It has definitely been everything I hoped, ... For as young an organization as it is, they want to do things right and I like that. It's a lot of work - the coach is as demanding as they say. But I enjoy that.
I know him. I didn't need to look at it to know that it was dirty.
biggest brought coach coaches enjoy factors good sacrifice sign statistics team teams three
I didn't sign three years ago (with the Rangers) because I enjoy statistics. I enjoy winning, ... You sacrifice statistics for the team. Those things brought me success. The biggest factors were the way the coach coaches the team and the way his teams play and that was good enough for me.
