doubt great hard heal player strong
The only thing I can say is, I've been through the same thing, and you do come back strong and you can heal strong and come back the same player 100%. He's in great shape, and he's a hard worker, so I have no doubt he can come back and be the same player.
democracy determined ensure fully informed matters members membership players relating responsibility return veteran younger
The players are determined to ensure that all NHLPA members are fully and completely informed about matters relating to their membership and their futures. This is about democracy and transparency. As veteran players we want to return the Association to its members. It is our responsibility to the younger players.
against consistent either game great hurt penalties players stop time tonight yesterday
If they keep being consistent like this, you don't want to see all the penalties, it disrupts the flow, so either the players will stop it or it's going to hurt the game. Only time will tell. Yesterday (Wednesday's game against Colorado) was a great game, not too many penalties, tonight there were a lot of penalties that probably should have been that weren't called, but there was some flow.
call depends guess negative players support
It all depends on how the referees call it. We've been through that before. All the players are told to support it and not be negative in the beginning, so I guess we'll just go with that.
discourage obscure people players possible
That's the most obscure place you could have it. Most players won't go. I think he set up to discourage as many people as possible from going.
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.
credit good great lawyer player school team veteran
It's good to see a veteran player get a job. Great team guy. Credit to him to go back to school and get his degree. Better (to) have Stu there than some lawyer we don't know.
heal
The only thing I can say is, I've been through the same thing and you do come back strong, you can heal strong, and come back the same player,
circuit far guys gym hard lots training weight work
There are lots of guys that work just as hard in the gym as far as weight training and circuit training. I had to find something different.
calling consistent guess national promote television tight trying
You have national television and you're trying to promote scoring. Calling it tight and making the calls, it's all part of it right now. As long as it's consistent and even, I guess that's all you can ask.
bonus guys
You get your third- and fourth-line guys contributing offensively and it's a big bonus for you.
against everybody wants
Everybody just wants it to be more open. I have noting against Ted.
again aside full game happened minutes played series
Aside from the first game of the series we never played a full 60 minutes and it happened again tonight. I don't know why.
against coming count team three
You can't count on coming back against a team like that when you're down three goals.
