liars believe nhl
Guys like him ruin it for everybody else. It's just embarrassing. Or maybe he's not embarrassed because he probably believes he's not doing it-that's how liars are.
emotional thinking talking
I'm 100 percent sure this is it. I know that I'll never play in the NHL again. It's not a hard decision. I think the hardest thing is you get a little emotional talking about your family. I couldn't have played any longer than I did and I accomplished what I wanted to.

When no one else signs me.
hockey thinking play
It takes brains. It's not like a forward, where you can get away with scoring and not play defense. On defense you have to be thinking.
allowed appointed biggest chosen concern due follow knows player players problem realize start supposed ted terrible vote
There is just a problem with the way Ted was chosen -- they didn't follow due process, ... No one knows if Trevor appointed Ted himself, which he had no right to do, because the player reps are supposed to vote on it also. The biggest concern is, no one knows what's going on, and that's a fact. Scott Mellanby , who is a player rep, had no idea that Ted even got an extension, and wasn't even allowed to vote on that. We realize it's not everybody, but there are some players that are unhappy. It's a terrible way to start the season.
business cost giving great leads life point teams win
We had no business giving (Columbus) any life ... it cost us a point. Great teams find a way to keep leads and win especially at this point in the season.
adjusted couple fortunate game instead kept patient played puck puts spread transition turning
We played a patient game, and we were fortunate to get a couple at the end there. They spread you out, they play pretty offensive, those first two lines, which sometimes puts you on your heels, and I think instead of going after them in the transition game, we kept turning the puck over. But as the game went on, we adjusted to that.
couple fortunate game patient played
We played a patient game and we were fortunate to get a couple at the end.
credit edmonton flat game played solid
We were a little flat on both. But give Edmonton credit. It played a solid game defensively and they can take you off your game.
aggressive beat coaches good hard
We've been working pretty hard at it. I think we've been a little more aggressive than we have in the past, and the coaches have been stressing that. It's going to take a pretty good play, we'd like to think, to beat us.
bad power score special stay took total
Our special teams, again, we didn't score on our power play, they did. We took some bad penalties. We stay out of the box, no problem, we're in total control.
change mind
They say they're not going to go with replacements, (but) we'll see. They'll change their mind overnight.
everybody guys half holding mike motivating
That's half the battle, motivating the guys and holding everybody accountable. He'd be like a Mike Ditka coach, I think.
beat team teams
This is the team that beat the Czechs. All the teams are good. We're disappointed with the outcome, but not the outlook.
