They've been skating the heck out of him. Obviously, a game is different than practice, but he's been working extremely hard. I wouldn't be surprised if he slides right in and does well right off the bat.
Our schedule is extremely condensed, but I think a lot of it is just keeping your focus, especially if you get on a good roll. You've just got to focus each and every game and get prepared mentally and physically for the next outing, because there's not much time between games.
I think it's hard to project what a guy's going to do, one year out of college, one year in pro. It's a lot of pressure on a kid. But overall he's handled it extremely well.
I'm sure I'm not going to be sitting around, telling stories about it.
It was gutsy. There's another word I could use for that, but it's gutsy to come down and have the patience and the presence to pull off a move like that on Dom.
It's great when he's on because he can find the net. As he gets older, I think he'll be less streaky and just more consistent. But he's doing all right as a streaky guy right now anyway.
It was kind of a strange 10 or 15 minutes. Whoever we got, we got. Either way, I think we'll be ready.
We got some bounces that went our way. It was a pretty ugly game.
We were down, 2-0, on the road, but we still seem to find a way. It's been amazing.
We've proven to ourselves in here (how good they can be)and ultimately that is the important thing.
There would be games where he would absolutely dominate and then he'd come to the locker room and tell us how poorly he had played.
There would be games he dominated and afterward he'd be saying how bad he played. He's never satisfied.
As a group we're kind of limping in there, so despite being one point away it's still a frustrating night. We came here to get two points, and we didn't.
That's more our game. We were able to play our style. But we'll take them any way we can get them right now.
