That was a pretty good effort right from the start. We've come a long way. The beatings they put on us were the low point, but we responded and stuck together, and to come out with a game like that is pretty nice to see.
Personally, I think he's the real deal. I've skated with him and have seen what he can do. But it's hard where everywhere he goes there's a press conference. It would be good for people to let him be a kid in the league and be a rookie and let him adjust as he goes.
We've proven to ourselves in here (how good they can be)and ultimately that is the important thing.
It's probably a good thing to fly under the radar a little bit. Like any other poll or prediction, you want to be on top at the end, not the beginning.
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.
He seems like a solid, well put-together kid. He kept his nose right in there and wasn't shying away. If he keeps getting better every practice, he's going to be a pretty good player.
This was a good game on our part in the desperate part of the game.
We got some bounces that went our way. It was a pretty ugly game.
These European teams are well-oiled machines. They get up by a goal and it's lockdown time.

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.
We wanted to go out with a bang. We wanted to give our fans something to remember before we went away. I was pretty proud of our team.
We're unflappable on the road. We seem to be fearless right now.
